Oh how Hawkeyes sure do love history.... LMAO the fanbase gap has closed significantly over the last 15 years and that's not even up for debate.

Definitely. A large chunk of the state is 50/50 at worst. Some areas are stronger ISU. The eastern belt is where the Hawkeyes still have a tighter grip. Cedar Rapids and NE Iowa are the spots that ISU is starting to gain some ground though.
I actually like where both schools are at.. If you look up Iowa State football articles in ESPN they’re mostly about our preseason top 10 football team and us winning the Fiesta Bowl.
If you do the same for Iowa you get a bunch of articles regarding Iowa’s racial discrimination lawsuit. I guess bad publicity is good though right?
Talked to a Iowa season ticket holder family last night. Daughter was set to go to Iowa, toured the campus and flipped to Creighton. Absolutely hated the Iowa campus.
Food for thought:
Given the sensitivity to Native American names and sports teams these days, how long before Iowa drops the Hawkeyes and goes straight to Hawks? Of course I am assuming the school adopted their name from the famous Native American Indian Chief.

I've never been impressed with their campus.
Tavern Clone fans. Say it isn't so. Thought those wouldn't be wanted inside Clone Nation.
Haven’t been on all of it but it seemed cut up with what I was on. Her statement was, I would need to take a 20 minute bus ride to get to certain parts. She didn’t like the two sides of the river either.
I’d presume right now it’s more younger aged kids, but they could surely turn into those after some years. You’re bound to pick up bandwagon fans when you start getting good.
Nah. The metro is more Iowa State fans than Iowa fans and it's not like >50% of the metro went to Iowa State
A lot of campuses out there that make you appreciate ISU’s even more
In the 80s I had a 5th grade science teacher who was a huge Hawkeye fan and a ginormous jerk. There were not many Iowa State Cyclone fans in our class, but he was relentless in his taunting of us and putting down Iowa State. I hope he is still alive and painfully enduring Iowa State’s ascendency.
I've spent a lot of time in Iowa City and I actually have always liked Iowa's campus. With that being said. the dorm housing is a real problem, especially if you are on the wrong side of the river. Or god forbid you get stuck in Mayflower.
Don't forget having a full set of teeth is a requirement to.
At Iowa, they have to spell out I-O-W-A on flags at Kinnick since hawk fans don't have a full set of teeth and can't say IOWA. They can only enunciate vowels and consonants.

Wiping it? He’s straight licking that taint daily.
