I guess. Since I’m related to so many of them, most of my high school class (hundreds) are Hawk fans, dated several Iowa alums, half of my church here in Des Moines are Hawk fans, several of my doctors are Hawk fans and alums, my dentist is, he had sons go both to Iowa and ISU— and the three regularly attended games in Ames together. And we all trade good natured jokes and barbs.
Again, you are clueless what they're saying about you behind your back.
You might want to pay more attention to reality, rather than prejudices. That might be a start for you.
Just this morning, My son and I walked out of the DOCTORS office (not Iowa city, although we’ve been there many times for him and that hospital and how’s he’s treated there is amazing) and we both had on our cyclone gear. A grown ass man with his family with him that I do not know sees us and leans down toward my son and says “Go Hawks!” Then laughs sarcastically at us. We just kept walking and said nothing. My son knows the drill because this is not a singular event, you don’t respond to them. They hate that. Two Cyhawk games in Ames ago I had to explain to my daughter why a guy in a Fry shirt had his **** out and was pissing in middle of C3. Iowa fans are worst.
Their need to yell at us in public when we're total strangers is truly bizarre behavior that I don't understand. If I see a person in public with another team's shirt on, I either don't say anything or see it as a way to start a normal conversation, see where they're from, etc. I've never thought "I'll show them!"
Didn’t you say ‘that’s it for me’ about 2 hours ago? Give it a rest.
Another good place to start would be to look at the funding from our state legislature for General Operations per student. The funding for Iowa students versus Iowa State students is approximately 20% higher. This discrepancy goes decades back. It is awful that it exists and that nobody talks about it.
Book ordered. These are first sample paragraphs you can read on Amazon without buying. They explain a lot how UofI has a haughty attitude.
And this is why I celebrate the deaths of the hockeye hierarchy. Fry, Pommerantz, Maly, Zabel, Gonder, Elliot. Those people were not just trying to make UI successful, they were trying to eliminate ISU. I don’t mean to be ghoulish, but those guys can rot in hell. I would have no problem pissing on Hancher auditorium. F those guys.
Certainly not all. But a fanbase is judged by the % of it that are total ******** and douchbags and arrogant f*cks. And Iowa has a much higher % than what is even considered average or normal. They were literally raised/trained to act this way from the late 70's on. It is statistically impossible for you to know that many suckeye fans and a certain % of them not fall into this category.
When I have had "Go Hawks" yelled at me, I respond, "You have my condolences".
