Where did I say I was annoyed with ANF? I said its dumb for some fans to make fun of an ag school then slap an ag sticker on your helmets or wear a t shirt with that logo.
Why are you afraid to admit your old usernames?

I'd say any small portion would be the general small amount of fans I've met that aren't belligerent about their 'superiority' and it's really weird how strong of a trend that is.
I have one friend that sees the B12 as a tough conference but that's also possibly the only B1G fan that I know that watches teams and games outside of the B1G.
I actually don't care for having ANF on the helmet where its at. I don't mind it on the back of the helmet.
What's 'successful' about ANF?
The annoyance is around Hawk fans wearing it around, but putting down ISU for having an ag program, in a state has a ton of agriculture.

I have to call BS on that one, look its a rivalry game, most of your fans hate us, most of our fans hate you. Nothing more, nothing less. But can you at least be educated about it.
Favorite myths on the Iowa boards.
The game is ISU's super bowl, they would be happy going 1-11 if that one win is against Iowa.
ISU would be broke if the series ever goes away.
JP is going to bankrupt ISU and the state will have to make up the difference.
Cael left because he could not stand Pollard.
The Mayor left for the same reason.
Pollard was the one that dropped the baseball program.
Every kid in the state grows up wanting to play for Iowa.
Ames is a garbage dump of a town, and is nothing like the great Iowa City.
ISU is a rouge program and the athletes admitted there would never get in at Iowa.
Enough or do you want me to add more?
So why didn’t isu beat Hayden to the punch? You do have an ag program.
The fact you don't know if Matt Campbell is a better coach than Paul Rhoads explains a lot about your intelligence
Quality post. For Iowa, they have to run the ball better. As has been hashed over time and again, Iowa hasn’t been able to execute the zone blocking stretch play consistently, and seem to get behind the chains. Can’t do that this year. Their backs are solid, but not exceptional. Need a big play back.
That wasn't the question, Yeahbuddy.
What was successful about ANF? What did it actually do besides raise awareness?
We will find out if it is isu’s Super Bowl the next time you beat Iowa in ames. Will your fans rush the field like they won the Super Bowl? If they don’t then it is just another win.
Kind of like how it has been in Iowa City the last couple of times isu came to town.
Not trolling but I think Eno last year wins you 1-2 more games. Your RBs from the games I watched didn't seem to have the skills to fit that scheme
To me it seems like even if Iowa's not running the ball they still make it a point to have it be a threat and make the opponent have to play to it or they'll get burned over the top.
Raising awareness was all it was supposed to do. Like almost all marketing campaigns.
ISU has rushed the field for way better teams than Iowa.
But if that happens, you'll be on here with like all 14 of your usernames just havin' a day.
So what was the success that you're talking about?
And why do Iowa fans rip on ISU for being known for its ag program?
'Ames is surrounded by cornfields!'
Yep, just like every single town in Iowa.
The ultimate goal was to attract the stressed unaffiliated farmers in the state to Iowa athletics. It was wildly successful toward that end.
You should title this post "myths in the Cyclone mind". Can you find a few Iowa fans that believe a few of those things? Yes. But the average Iowa fan respects ISU and ISU fans. I work with dozens of Clone fans and we get along very well.
And as far as irrational hate, you post on a message board tha has a **** Iowa thread every year
I have read everyone of those repeatedly stated like gospel on Iowa boards.
I get along fine with many Iowa fan coworkers, but for some reason that is one on one, when they get together in a group, then many become total douche Iowa fans. We are great, you suck, types of people. Hell, you are an Iowa fan, I suspect you know a lot of them.
