Can we pass some legislation to officially rename Iowa the Cyclone State?
We're not worthy, we're not worthy
Let's get this straight because I have seen it a lot from Hawks this evening.
Iowa was nicknamed the "Hawkeye State" before the University of Iowa even existed. Iowa fans using the state moniker as some sort of show of support for the university is backwards.
It would be like this guy:
walking into the red-and-gold fast-food restaurant with his family and saying "Look, they named this place after us! We're awesome!"
