When to cheer for the Hawkeyes?

[Cycsk]

I admit that I'm a bit torn. I want to hate the Hawkeyes at all costs, but is there a point when I should actually cheer for them? For instance, the Huskers will be insufferable if they win. And who wouldn't like to see the Buckeyes crushed? Or take down a top SEC team?

At some point, as much as I hate to admit it, I think it is good for the whole state for the Hawkeyes to do well (and worse for the state if they have a high profile choke like us in BB last year). I'm just not sure what that point is. I don't think I can cheer for them unless they do make it to the playoff. At that point, a win is good for the state, even if it makes Hawk fans even more insufferable. But who can handle them being even more insufferable? I may give myself a ban for even considering it.

Is is there a point when any of you will cheer for the Hawkeyes?

 

[CloneFan4]

Never. I will never cheer for the hawks.

 

[AmCyFan]

Nope. I just can't do it.

 

[isufbcurt]

Never. F them. I would perform SAW like tortures on myself and die instead of cheering for them.

I know how ISU fans will be if we get close to a national championship or win one in basketball. Insufferable. Now picture that if Iowa does the same in football.

 

[GTO]

Never, ever, ever, ever, never. Why would you even ask this, closet Hok fan?

 

[NorthCyd]

Does ISIS have a football team and do they play Iowa?

 

[1100011CS]

Never /thread

 

[VeloClone]

Call me short sighted, but I fail to see how giving the overwhelming majority of hawk fans who are insufferable d-bags more smack talk material for eternity is "good for the whole state of Iowa".

[JBone84]

Never. Just never.

Iowa football is the ISIS of football. We must destroy them.

you might take sports just a tad too seriously

 

[mj4cy]

Only if by them winning it directly benefits Iowa State 100%. Otherwise, never.

 

[casey1973]

Make me shutter even to think I ever would, nightmares for sure.

 

[Miniclone11]

Root for them to lose every game. It will only help us gain fans and in-state recruits.

 

[Hoiball92]

I'd rather cheer for Kansas then cheer for iowa

"Come on, it is your state. It is good for the state of Iowa. You should cheer for them. I mean, they are in your state."

No. **** Iowa. **** you.

Actually I don't, I just hate the UofI. Growing up in eastern Iowa in a town of 90% tavern hawks who act like Iowa should be on the Mt. Rushmore of college football will make you hate them.

I don't hate anything enough to make me want to torture myself. Maybe it's just me though.
