Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

[Im4State]

You think Ellis didn't want to be associated with ISU because he...checks post...called out his high school? Ellis loves ISU. There are pictures of him with his son watching an ISU game on the couch; Ellis was wearing his old ISU helmet.

I do believe he was the one that called out "The Up and Coming Iowa State University." I think it was him, but could be wrong.

Dude it was just an example, I can’t recall if it was him or another former player. But I remember an alum playing in a big game chose NOT to call out ISU as their alma mater.
I was just speculating on what CMC was referring to that’s all. I don’t know any fan that’s ever been embarrassed.

In Stansbury's article, both Eisworth and Campbell said not that long ago before they were here that people were embarrassed to wear a cyclone shirt or hat. I know what there trying to say but I think this comes off poorly. I've been a cyclone fan since 85-86 and I don't ever remember being embarrassed to wear anything Cyclone gear. Many times I've been disappointed or let down, but not embarrassed. I also am an alumnus so maybe that's part of the reason for me.

To me, it is kind of the pervasive attitude in society, "that nothing mattered until I showed up". I think it is somewhat disrespectful to the players and fans that have been here for awhile. Maybe its just the word embarrassed, thoughts?

Yes. I get some pretty funny looks at weddings, funerals, and court. Stick it. Go Cyclones.

Not embarrassed about ISU or Cyclone apparel but ESPN should be about their FPI rankings.

ESPN Releases New Top 25 Rankings After Bowls

Im pleasantly surprised about being #10. We might start the season ranked.

Not embarrassed but growing up in the **** hole that is Muscatine I can say there were definitely times where it was just easier to not wear it and skip the drama with the tavern hok populace.

Just messing with you - trying to lighten things up, if you know what I mean.

People like us who post on CF? No way we’ve been embarrassed.

But more casual fans who deal with their Hawkeye “friends” on a daily basis? I’m sure it’s just easier not to sometimes.

Eisworth quote looked to be directed at players. Potentially, both/either while actually playing or after their playing days were over.

Agreed. I wear it proud though. There’s a real art to dealing with dumb ass ToE fans. Let them talk long enough and they almost always put their foot in there mouth. Just point it out and you confuse the hell out of them.

 

[HouClone]

Nope.

nope just think you are dumb

I remember the year Nebraska led by almost 60 points AT HALFTIME and easily could have beaten us by 130 if they had wanted to.

 

[BCClone]

No, but have been embarrassed by others wearing it.

 

[Spartanantler]

If your embarrased to wear it,why are you even a fan?

Or the coach or a player.
Sounds like they are trying to mimic the Snyder narrative of when he took over KSU..
