Ditto. Social media has made them 1000 times more insufferable and miserable than 20 years ago. Same with trolls who come here and try to ruin the CyFan experience and expect us to put up with them.
Why do I hate the Hawks so much?
- Thread starter cyfreddy
- Start date
Well I'm older than you and I bet I despise them twice as much as you. Idk. Either just the color of the jerseys, the constant love affair the media has for them, their arrogance, most of the coaches, idiot fans, the list goes on....... FYI Since there has to be a winner, go huskers.

Is kinda hard to have a mascot of a bleached anus that’s why the Hawkeyes have a bird
Being older I think I could root for the squawks if it was not for their fan base. They continue to think that Iowa City and the University of Iowa is the Mecca of the world and everything evolves around them. But Ames is a crap hole and ISU is basically a junior college attitude they have. I root for two teams, ISU and whoever is playing the squawks, hope the Major just crushes them and their hopes and dreams of getting to the final four.
Damn, it's like I am looking in a mirror. I am every thing you stated also (age, kids, feelings).
Yeah, but a bleached anus is what their fans see when they look in a mirror, so it fits that way too.
Don't tell Jamie because the I-State logo was obviously a substantial step in that direction.
He's stubborn enough to try
Worst fans in the world. Arrogant and stupid. Talk like they're one of the big dogs in the college world. I can't name a single alum in my town, yet they talk about how well "we" played and "our" boys looked good. Farm town btw. Iowa State is infinitely more important to their livelihood than Iowa.
I don't hate them anymore. I will say when I do feel the hate it's rooted in 1980s football domination and everyone and their dog considered themselves Hawk fans just because.
Same. Grew up in that era. He hated ISU. A late career example of his - Tim Dwight was in the game in a blowout in the 4th quarter in 1997. He caught a long TD pass to put the up something like 56-7. Combine Fry’s success with their fans = lifelong animosity as a Cyclone.
I’m close in age to the OP and grew up in Eastern Iowa. I was a “as long as they’re not playing the Cyclones” fan. Then Ronnie Harmon fumbled 4 times in the Rose Bowl and had a grin ear to ear. I snapped that day and never again rooted for iowa.
Some guy nicknamed Moose whose entire wardrobe was black and gold and he harassed you in the bar every Friday and Saturday night.
Another reason to really hate them.... 2 words: "Go Hawks."
I hate them all from the bottom of my heart. Even the ones who say "I pull for Iowa State when they aren't playing Iowa" are ass holes because they're 100% lying. These are people who called us horrible people for cheering against Caitlin Clark "because she's good for the state and game", yet turn around and mock Audi for her size.
There is not much to like.
I got really tired of being lectured that I should cheer for CC. I'll cheer for who I like and it certainly won't be a Hawkeye. I don't remember anyone out east cheering for Troy Davis.

Idk old Raisin face tried to bring ISU down through state governance. No me gusta.
My dad was an ISU grad (and he taught me well)... I still do this to this day.... When he would walk into a store and see a Hok shirt on a rack, he would turn it around so only the back of the shirt would be showing. He walked out of a Scheels one day with a whole section of only Black and yellow plain shirts showing after reversing the shirts.
I like to think he smiles at me from heaven when I go in and do the same stunt.
