I just wish Iowa fans were actual human beings so I could feel like I didn't care, but everytime I wear my Cyclone goggles, I see the slime oozing from their pores.
Cyclone fans that feel this way = an embarrassment to the fan base and gigantic ****** bags.
"You're wearing Iowa crap in Ames! You totally ruined my day! Let me go cry to my mom! Nevermind the fact that I'm a grown *** man acting like an immature 8 year old throwing a temper tantrum!"
I have no problem with them allowing their waitresses to wear Hawk gear, but I sure as Hell won't be returning to that BWW location. I also have a right to avoid obnoxious Hawk Fans and it's apparent that their staff is full of them. Wallaby's has better wings anyway and you sure as hell (at least I would hope) won't see a waitress wearing Black and Gold in there.
What you consider to be a "passive wimp" the rest of the world sees as well adjusted and sane.
Cyclone fans calling out other Cyclone fans for preferring to patronize Cyclone friendly business are the only real embarrassment to the fanbase. I don't care if a Cyclone fan wants to patronize BWW, I'm not looking down on that choice. However, I, personally, would rather be in a bar decked out in Cyclone gear where, I'm being served by Cyclone fans, rather than the alternative.
They're being obnoxious by supporting THEIR team on a day when the staff is allowed to do so? Damn those Minnesota fans I see on campus, they're just being obnoxious ******bags trying to push their team on me!
It's a chain restaurant, I really don't know what you people are expecting. If this were at a hole-in-the-wall place like Wallaby's I think you'd have a point. But a national chain? They're sports fans, and choosing where you want to eat based on whether or not a few of the waiters support the Hawks, instead of choosing based on the food and ACTUAL service, is beyond petty/pathetic/stupid/all of the above.
Would you ******* stop? Can you please try and have a little fun with sarcasm for once. I'm not sure what is worse, fans who take things like what a waitress in an Ames restaurant so seriously, it ruins their experience or fans who take life so seriously, they can't understand a little humoruos sarcasm and razzing before a rivalry game.
In case you didn't know, when being sarcastic on this site, jimlads are your best friend.
It's the principle of letting someone wearing Iowa crap ruin your day. I don't live my day to day life going, "Hmmm...hope my money is going to a pro-Iowa State business." I don't look at gas stations and go, "Hmm...I can't go to HyVee Gas or Kum & Go...big Iowa supporters."
"Don't go there! There are Iowa fans there!"
The fact of the matter is that there are very few places in Ames that do embrace Iowa State (Wallaby's comes to mind as I don't think there's any Iowa stuff in there as does West Cyde Wings...who has terrible wings). Buffalo Wild Wings has more Iowa State stuff on the walls than 90% of the places in Ames do. Do they have an Iowa jersey on the wall? Yep. Do I let it ruin my day? No. Same story is true at Old Chicago. I'm not going to go into an establishment and then run to a message board and get my boxers bunched over it.
I'm obviously not alone as many people have commented in this thread about the pathetic nature.
Actually, no, they can't. There are obsenity laws, and frankly I'm disgusted that Ames has not put together an obsenity law banning employees of Ames businesses from wearing Iowa Gear, Herky or anything related to the University of Iowa.
I don't know that I've actually responded to that poster in this thread...and read some of ljhlax's posts...jimlad shouldn't be needed.
I am not shocked by this thread at all. Some of our fan base is downright pathetic and sad.
Take you helmet and go sit in the corner.

Who said it's ruining anyone's day? That's a conclusion you've jumped to with little to no evidence.
I wouldn't say that this would turn me away from BWW (in Ames) forever, but it's not exactly a reason TO go there. If I'm deciding between a couple of places, maybe that points me in a different direction. If I want BWW badly enough I'll go there, but if everything else is equal, I'll always go to the place that supports ISU over the place that is either indifferent or supports UI. That means Hickory Park, Wallaby's, West Town Pub, Olde Main Brewery, Dublin Bay, GeAngelos, etc.
