Is Iowa the Most Oversensitive Fan Base in America?

[BCClone]

Which brings up another subject.

My daughter bought me a Iowa Jersey a couple years ago. Love it...don't wear it in public because I'm old. Occasionally wear it at the house when the Hawks play or she's around. Just find old people wearing team Jersey's awkward.

I think that's the general consensus.

Anyway, what's the rule on T-Shirts? I have a Hawk T-shirt that I occasionally wear in public...usually Saturdays. Am I crossing the line?

Wear your hawkeye clothes as much as you want. Be proud of the team you support, school you went to, whichever. I don't have a jersey, but would probably only wear it during games, would feel like I'm reliving my youth in one.

Hey, I don't care if hawk fans wear team clothes to church, I just think it's tacky there. My tavern hawk BIL wears that stuff non stop to church. I used to wear more than I did, need to lose about ten pounds and then I can wear more. Getting old blows. This slowing metabolism is catching me.

Agree wearing it to church is tacky.

Getting old does suck...losing weight difficult. Gaining weight very easy

One weekend of drinking beer and eating pizza puts ten pounds on you....pretty amazing

Well I have an email, check
I picked a screen name, check
didn't make an avatar, check

Took all of about 1 minute I'd guess. Maybe you consider 1 minute of doing something a lot of work, I don't really. My work ethic is pretty strong though, you can see from my posting lots of days I'm up at 4 am working away in the office.

Legend Hawk at 4am working:

I live on the edge.

I wanted to talk to Hawk obsessed ISU fans, and I found that place here. Thanks!

At 7:30 in the morning

Pizza is killing us! There’s no way to maintain portion control.

And hair cuts are just a simple nod of the head. It's okay however because as dad once said "you are either growing old or..............".

No Nylon Black coat even though they were sweet. Have a Hawk hat but don't know if it qualifies as a trucker hat.

I did wear a "Boondocks USA" hat in High School....probably qualifies.

Pretty sure you can probably stop by the truck stop and buy that same hat. We stopped there a few years ago and that place was like a time capsule.

I remember stopping there and eating a couple times with my Grandpa....haven't been there for 35 or so years. Glad it's still there....

Pizza buffets should be outlawed IMO.

You need new material. Commenting on the weight of a 21 year old daily is a bad look IMO.

Still have Hawk fans commenting on Niang's weight despite him being fit. Try cleaning up your own backyard.

I have no control over what other fans say. That is a bad look as well!

You would comment on their post too if they made a manboobs comment about Niang, right?

I don't do it daily but honestly I hope he gets his weight under control. Obesity is a deadly disease

Boondocks is actually closing it's doors. Another piece of Americana swallowed up by corporate America.

Honestly, I'm surprised it's taken this long. It's the end of an era though, that place used to be a big deal.
