I’d say maybe that flag will provide the Hawks some luck in Hilton, but it’s much more likely they go another 15 years without winning there.
We get to stomp on a Hawk flag

- Start date
Just goes to show you how wrong we can all be on these boards: We were all sure Yeahbuddy slings burgers at Mickey D's, but lo and behold he or she is a construction worker with extra hawkeye flags to dispose of... live and learn. Thanks internet!
I imagine the person who did it is a “huge” hawk fan who has never been to Iowa City or could barely find it on a map.
Looks like 8-17. The last win being an NIT game for them in 2003. They take those NIT games seriously.
And has no family connection to the University of Iowa and actually hates the university itself for being a bunch “liberal snowflakes”
If Hawkeye Heaven takes something down it has to be really dumb lol
This wouldn't even crack the top 10 of dumbest things Hawk fans have done
Guessing someone with the contractor saw it and was less than pleased.
I don’t think you make a list like that. It’s like a list of getting ready in the morning, same old same old. Now, if you make a list of smart things.........that would be interesting. I don’t know if you could make a top 10 list. Could be 5.
Imagine how much a potential relationship with ISU is worth for them. That's why I think it's pretty unlikely this happened at all, I love ISU but I'd never risk my job/career on something so lame.
What a great new tradition. Wipe your feet before you enter Hilton to honor the doormat next door.
Real Hawks don't care about basketball though so it's okay.
Then PR the crap out of patting ourselves on the back over what great people we are.
Leave it. This is kinda funny to me, and I would imagine most level-headed Hawk fans are probably pretty embarrassed about it.
As well they should. That's pretty much the Promised Land for Iowa Basketball anymore.
I truly believe you are correct about this being Buddy. We need to continue our interventions with Buddy on CF to complete this transformation to an ISU supporter/donor. Maybe this parking lot will be named after Buddy.
On the top 5 smartest things they have done:
1. Married Cyclone fans and eventually converted to the good side.
This would be my wife. A bunch of tavern hawks. I never pushed anything, she started going to games with me and walking around campus. Her family had a fit. The change happened when she went to our 23-3 win over them. She called her major tavern hawk uncle to give him grief, I warned against it and told her it wouldn’t go well. She told me he had done it to us, I still insisted to leave him alone. He yelled and cursed at her and then hung up. I saw the reality come clear in her eyes.
