I'm a disgusting cyclone.

[VeloClone]

Try being me man. I have been a life long Cyclone fan. Raised my kids to be Cyclone fans. Son a basketball ball boy. I was a football ball boy in the 80's. My daughter goes to Iowa. Yeah, I have to write checks to them. Her major is only at Iowa in Radiation Science. I actually don't write checks to them. I transfer money into her account so I don't have to pay them directly because I hate them so much. Luckily my son is going to Iowa State to be an Electrical Engineer. However, I still see her wear that disgusting clothing. It's horrifying. The good thing, she still roots for the Clones when they play Iowa out of respect for her dad

There is only so much you can do. I wouldn't like my child going to Iowa but I would love them anyway and I wouldn't deny them the opportunity to immerse completely in supporting their school.

...Excuse me while I...

They just wouldn't be allowed to come home for the holidays....

My wife works for toe and I have a daughter with a medical condition that has us in their specialty clinic quarterly. I'm honestly thankful to have the clinic that close. I have been known to wear my cyclone gear to appointments.

Funny enough ISU partners with KSU, TTech, OkieLite and other plains schools for the degree I'm after. I wanted to grab ISU's version as a rookie in my field, but the bosses would only pay for a graduate certificate specifically through Kaplan. KSU was the only one to accept at least 9 of the 18 credits I have and they are the only one that wouldn't require me to retake courses. I read there is a chance that by attending online through KSU, I may have instructors from partner schools like ISU, one can only hope!

There is zero chance of me becoming a fan of their sports teams beyond my general love of everything Big 12. It sure is weird being on their purple website. I could still do Kaplan, but KSU is more prestigious than Kaplan... Right?

You did a great job of saying you're a dipshi# without actually saying you're a dipshi#. Well done.

I believe Loyal sons forever true is applicable here.

I've been a die-hard Cyclone since my 7th-grade science fair at Hilton—talk about destiny. After four glorious years in Ames, I found myself ridiculously attached. You’d think they’d made the sidewalks under the campanile with glue!

Yet, life pulls you in unexpected directions, so here I am in Coralville since 2019, deep in enemy territory. I’m on a mission to raise my kids to bleed cardinal & gold, but it’s an uphill battle against a sea of Herkys everywhere.

And now, for my latest act of treason: I'm applying to an online grad program at Kansas State. Yes, that's right—our Farmaggedon rival the purple kitties. Just typing that out makes my stomach churn like I've swallowed a corn dog sideways at the state fair.

So, fellow Cyclones, please hurl your best insults my way. I need them to keep my head straight every time see KSU addresses in my emails.

This is off topic. My daughter is a radiation therapist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. She went to Saint Louis University. Mayo is one of the few places that need more therapists than they graduate. It is a great place to work. My daughter does proton radiation and they are expanding that area over the next few years. When your daughter graduates, she should apply there. If your daughter would like to talk to my daughter, I will hook you up. My daughter is 26, so she’s not an old lady.

When it comes to K-State and Iowa I'm sure there are 'Some Very Fine People on Both Sides'

I feel your pain being a Kansas State graduate that has lived in Ames for over 20 years. Both of our children graduated from Iowa State.
