14 down, FuckIowa does not fit.
 
still not getting 14 down. I've never heard an alternative name for the cyhawk game, other than hate week, but that's more about the whole leadup to the game and it doesn't work in that space.

Hints for 14 down -

Hint 1:

2 Words

Hint 2:

Famous soccer rivalry between Barcelona and Madrid titled 'El Clasico'

Hint 3:

El Clasico, but a play on words with another name for donkey.

Answer:

"El Assico [ELASSICO] - Definition: "El Assico" (or ¡El Assico!) is a satirical nickname for the annual American football rivalry game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones. The name mocks the game as a low-scoring, often chaotic, and sometimes poorly played contest - a humorous play on "El Clásico".

I thought the correct answer was "Fuckiowa" even if it didn't fit.

I've never ever heard of this before and I've been an Iowa State fan since the 60s. I think someone is making stuff up.
