After they get over the shock of finding someone in E. Iowa that's NOT automatically a Hok fan I get the "I cheer for Iowa State when they're not playing Iowa" thing A LOT. It always seems kind of condescending to me. I don't say much because I know in my heart I hate the Hoks and wish they'd lose every game they play.
I have occasionally said, "I hate the hawks. I know it's not good to hate. I'm not proud of it, but it is a 100% accurate word in this case."
I'll try to be nice by saying I don't mind their football and talk about the strong fundamentals and how they generally play hard.
I'm a big ISU fan, but I graduated from UNI and Iowa. What does that make me???
I'm a Big Iowa Fan, But I... just moved my daughter into her dorm at ISU a little over a week ago, met some great fellow parents who are ISU grads and am really, really glad she's there.
PTI, but this reminds me of my situation. Long story short, when I decided to go to school in Iowa after the Army, I sent letters to both Iowa State and Iowa requesting enrollment information. I received my booklet from Iowa State first and mailed in my application. I also heard back from ISU that I was accepted before I even received an application from Iowa. Their loss! So glad I became a Cyclone!Did you daughter look at Iowa and take the tour? From what people have been telling me for a few years, Iowa just expect that everyone will want to go there, and really could care less if you actually do, while ISU makes a real effort to reach out and seems to show, that they want you in school in Ames.
What was your experience like, if you do not mind saying?
Sincerely, you sound like a great parent. Even if it were the other way around.I'm a Big Iowa Fan, But I... just moved my daughter into her dorm at ISU a little over a week ago, met some great fellow parents who are ISU grads and am really, really glad she's there.
