8 types of Iowa Fans

[NebraskaCyclone]

And 8 types suffer from the same ailment of being the most sensitive butthurt humorless people you can be around, plenty of friends and family included. Biggest trash talkers ever, but the second you dish it back out comes the "oh how dare you" response followed by the overly serious defense with no end in sight treatment. If we suffer from an inferiority complex or Charlie Brown syndrome the AIB of Eastern Iowa fans suffer from massive insecurity.

This blog post is several years old now, and some of the picture links have broken since then. I've went back and fixed those. So for your viewing pleasure...

In hindsight, I sort of wish I would have posted this as a fan shot on WRNL. It's still amazing to see the analytics for this one blog post though.

I'm a pretty big fan of the "where's waldo" variety. It's just such a douchy move that I like it.

I don't see a big deal with it. I always wear 100% ISU apparel when traveling. I don't even bother taking any non-ISU shirts because I won't wear them.

Which category does the "die-hard Hawk fan who has never attended a single Iowa sporting event" fit into?

thats exactly the way its supposed to be. If your a fan be a fan, I love seeing cyclones out in random parts of the country so I can give a GO HAWKS they can give a GO CLONES and we are all from Iowa so its great to show our support. Ive randomly seen clone fans out in CAli, Hawaii, and here in Nodak so its not just hawks that do it.

There's nothing wrong with wearing clothes to support your team in random parts of the country while your out and about. However, it's just weird if you show up to a sporting event wearing your team's colors when your team isn't even playing - especially if you're waving a Hawkeye flag at a Virginia Tech vs. Boise State game that was the example in the blog post.
