Seriously? An ISU alum? With that sentence structure? Misspelled words? Capitalizing words in wrong places?
Methinksnot. I have too much respect for an ISU education to buy that story.
Your best jab at UoI fans/homers?

Meth, ink & snot. Must be quite the mind blowing combination.
You mean deep in the heart of Big 12 country ISU got more cheers than Iowa? I'm shocked, shocked!!
agreed. I grew up 10 minutes from Simpson (Indianola) and about 40 minutes from Central (Pella). Both are good schools.
I just love that I can name more ISU Bball recruits than they can name current players on their Bball team...
Basically, they have a ton of casual fans that claim to be diehard every few years, when it is convenient for them.

I typically just have fun trading jabs with the Hawk fans I know. Like a lot of their fanbase, none of them went to school at the University. It's all in good fun.
The whole "you didn't go to school X, therefore you shouldn't be a fan" smack is comical. Everyone realizes one of our biggest donors, Richard Jacobson, who our Athletic Building is named after, is a U of I graduate, right?

Yeah, but he isn't a tavern clown... :wink:

Comparing apples to oranges, a successful person from the state of Iowa donating to in-state universities (even though he only attended one) as a way to give back to the people of his state is completely different from some Kegwood dropout belittling someone actually smart enough to graduate from... excuse me, get into a four year school.The whole "you didn't go to school X, therefore you shouldn't be a fan" smack is comical.

When you're talking about those dropouts belittling the university and its academic prowess, you can use that arguement. But you don't have to be an alum of you favorite team's school to give the rival fans crap about being fans of that team.
It baffles me the fascination some on this board have about not being an alum of a certain school means you shouldn't be a fan of that school?? Trust me our athletic dept. could never be viable without fans that didn't go to ISU. I didn't go to ISU but have indeed done my part in donating funds, buying tickets and apparel for me and my family over the last 15 years. There happens to be a certain billionaire in Ankeny that would certainly disagree with this point of view as well.
Iowa, Nebraska, and the rest of the top tier programs have fans that are not alums.
If you really want ISU to be all it can be, we need all the fans we can get!

People are not trashing a booster who may not have gone to ISU but supports what they do. What people are making fun of is the "fan" that goes to the bar one night and sees Iowa won a football game and is suddenly a diehard fan even though they know next to nothing about them.
