Did anyone catch the random Hawkeye fan during the Boise St game?

It has always amazed me how many hawk fans will go to our games both home and away and wear Iowa stuff. I think it was the WVU fb game they showed a guy there wearing hawk stuff. I was more shocked by the fact that he actually appeared to be cheering for us. That usually is not the case.

I would never attend an iowa sporting event by choice, but I rep ISU gear on an almost daily basis in Lawrence, KS. When people call me out on it, I just explain that it's my life. Raised a Clone, married a Cyclone, I'm reppin that **** everywhere I go until the day I die (unless they switch to an odd poop emoji/ham logo).

On the other hand, a hawk fan wearing their stuff around is clearly an *******.

She picked a good sporting event to attend!

She also apparently got the desired reaction as well, buying up more real estate in some of you posters' heads.

There is always one. Always. Even in the most unlikely of places.

Big 12 MBB tournament in Dallas? Yep.
Pinstripe Bowl rally in NYC? Yep.

Do Iowa State fans wear their Iowa State gear to Hawkeye games? Never noticed, but can't say that I watch too many Hawkeye athletic events.
That’s beyond the Super Bowl mindset of most Iowa fans. Ferentz would be proud.

My wife and I ran into her and her husband on the beach yesterday morning. As we do now, she roots for both teams unless we are playing each other. They live a few hours away and came to the beach to see the game. Very nice people!

I think she's a local that:
Shops at Wal-Mart
Works at McDonald's
Didn't go to Iowa like most of their fan base
Your scheduled reminder that there are other reasons for rooting for a team besides having gone to school there.

I think it's kinda an odd move to wear the garb of a team who isn't playing in the game. I saw a guy wearing Husker gear at the Okie St game in Jack Trice. Is he just that lost?

If I got drug to a Minnesota vs Wisconsin game I wouldn't wear ISU gear. But that's just me.

Yes there is always one. At the football gamewatch in KC on Saturday one stumbled into the bar 4 of us all turn to each other and said "there is always one"

I'm pretty sure they have a group chat or something to coordinate so there's always one.

There are 2 types of people that do this. One group does it just to be a ****, and they need to go away. The other does it without really thinking about it. I could totally see my mom thinking, I'm going to a college basketball game so I'll wear a college shirt and not caring if it matched a school playing. Also, remember that the whole idea of wearing college branded clothes to games is relatively new. If you look at games from the 80's and maybe even 90's you don't see nearly as many people wearing school clothing as you do today.

Probably thought they were at the Cayman Island Classic. In hindsight, they probably saw better B-ball from ISU than what the hawks were cooking today.
