Pretty much this. For me, it's not just the fact that the majority of their fans didn't go there, it's that they have absolutely ZERO affiliation with the school but act like they are a spokesman for it.

It's fine if you went to a school, or had a relative that went to a school, or even it's the only/closest school to you in your state. But just because your dad always cheered for them because they were the best team in the state at the time? Yeah, I'm going to look down on you for that.

To tag along, my hatred for the fans of the Hawkeyes is the superiority complex they have. They act like Iowa is the greatest team on earth. Need examples? Go look at the replies to Chris Hassel's tweet.



Then if/when ISU beats Iowa, EVERY excuse is thrown out why Iowa lost except that ISU was the better team. -Poor reffing, ISU's superbowl, Kirk Ferentz was conservative (which is sometimes true), ISU's superbowl (again).
 
The cheese being brought by the Squawks is as weak as your offenses opening performance. 263 yards, I'm not impressed.

Hassel being a lifelong Hawkeye fan is what makes it hilarious.

What color is your fedora?

I don't have one yet. I've been fickle in making my decision for about 2 years. I can get the one with the Tiger Hawk band, but I can pretty much only wear that for FB and BB game days. If I get one with a straight black band, I could potentially wear it every day. Do they make fedoras where you can add and remove logos to the band based on occasion? It would be nice to have a Tiger Hawk for Saturdays and hoops, but also to have a blank band for funerals. And to decorate the band with holiday themes.

As someone who grows up in a small town that is MUCH closer to Ames than Iowa City, I can attest that there are hordes & hordes of tavern hawks EVERYWHERE in that small town. Same story in towns all over North Central and Northwest Iowa. it's like the Squawking Dead out there! (You're welcome, I'll be here all week)...

God help us all...

....Seriously tho, some of them aren't even in it for the sports. Like they aren't even generally inclined to be "sports-interested", let alone sports fans. Ceremonial Hawkeye fans, if you will, paying homage to the great myth of something they could never understand; supposed value in the notion of Hawkeye football greatness.
They are still trying to figure out why there's a herd of cows named "Colin" and why the Hawkeye players use of fake ids to get into all the AWESOME Iowa city bars might mean the awesome tigerhok Oakley's they bought at the local Walmart are now somehow less cool according to everyone not wearing black and gold.
They hope this isn't true for selfish arbitrary reasons, but they really have no genuine way of knowing if that team, or any team for that matter, is actually for real. The tigerhok is worn by these characters merely as a status symbol thing for our local ignorant masses, like a Larry the Cable Guy fashion statement type thing. We all grew up in this state, we've all encountered people like this. When Campbell and company flips this thing on you Easterners, feel free to keep all of these people in your ranks, they suit you so well.

Has to be annoying if you're an ISU fan. That is, the fact that you can't attract many non-alum fans. ;). BTW, y'all should get over yourselves as a university. You have a fine school, and those of us who attended Iowa would argue that we also have a fine school. But neither of us are Wisconsin or Michigan. For undergrads, we're middle-of-the-pack public schools.

**** Iowa!

May their neck tattoos fester and their dreams of playing Alabama to settle who is the best team come true!

Dude, a date with Alabama would likely mean a Big Ten championship and a playoff bid. We'd take that. Even if it meant a 50-0 stomping. I'd probably get a neck tat to commemorate that season. Thanks for the kind words!

This is pretty good trolling compared to the "Clowns" and "Super Bowl" word salad we usually get. Well done.

I feel like we should get some kind of public service award.

I mean 2x a year we provide a forum where Hok fan that wants to expand their horizon can come and engage in some meaningful banter, improve their vocabulary, work on multi syllabic words and in rare cases, as seen here, string together 2 or 3 cohesive thoughts in an attempt (usually feeble) to state and advance their case.

If they were left to muddling on hoknation as their only source of conversation, who knows what they would devolve into. Good lord, an entire fan base full of Jon Millers?!?!
