My Mom and Dad met at Iowa State and are alum, my brother and I are alum, and my sister is a current ISU student. I guess you could say ISU runs in our blood.

Shouldn't this thread include every user on this site that is an ISU fan? Per ISU fan logic, you are only a fan of the school if you attend that school.

I counted 63 of the 87 posts that say "I went to ISU" and that's not discounting the dozen or so posts that don't actually answer the question (i.e. discussing the wall at the fair). So let's estimate 63/75 which is 84%. If you disagree, feel free to count posts yourself and post your results. What do you think the percentage would be if a poll were posted on HR/HN asking about Iowa graduates?

Wow, you must have some time on your hands to count that.

If it's not 100% then the Clone fans I know are full of it.

Was there really a reason to **** all over this thread that has nothing to do with you or your school. Try not to live up to your stereotype for a change.

Me and only me. But I brainwashed my kids as Clones from birth to immunize them from Hawkorrhea.

Myself and two brothers. Parents and grandparents were all in military branches and didn't go to college, except for my mom who got a degree on the east coast after leaving the service. One of my brothers attended ISU after military service. Pretty sure none of my cousins, aunts, or uncles went to ISU as they're all from out of state or SE Iowa (Hawkeyes but none actually went there).

My parents had at least one kid at ISU from 2006 - present (the last will graduate 2015 I believe). It's possible that I'll be a Cyclone-Hoosier in a few years for grad school.

If this thread was on hawkeye nation about going to Iowa, the thread would be about 5 posts long.

There is a wall at the Iowa State Fair that lists all ISU graduates. A cousin of mine found a hoard of us which got my great aunt thinking about how many family members went to Iowa State. So far we've confirmed that from 1986-2014 there has been a family member attending, many years with several of us in that timespan. Also a stretch from 1968-1984 where 10 or so family members were all there (my dad, mom, uncles). Go back further and my great great grandmother was one of the first females on campus. Just curious if your fam has a long ISU history. I am sure there are many others like my family. Kind of cool.
I was the only Cyclone in my family.


One of my ex wives' kid brothers grew up and was a Hawkeye though,
