When to cheer for the Hawkeyes?

This is spot on and exactly how I am now. Takes 75% of the negative emotion away but you can still dial it up when needed. You can watch their games with your hawk fan friends unprovoked with a twinkle in your eye when they lose tragically.
On my first day of work my new boss (Iowa fan) saw me pinning up a copy of ISU's schedule on my desk and he said he wouldnt mind if the campus burned to the ground. I thought he was joking so I laughed. He did not smile or laugh. He was stone-faced. It was a great first impression.
I know. I dont mind if you want to say the football team stinks, or rib ISU fans for their basketball team losing a game it shouldnt have. But I went to school there, met my wife there, got an education there, made a lot of memories there. So don't tell me ISU is a ***** school and you'd like to see my alma mater burnt to the ground, especially if you didnt even go to Iowa (he didnt).
Typically I would always cheer for the Hawks against Nebraska, Huskers are the worst, Hawkeye fans are trying their best to raise their arrogance and d-baggery to Husker levels but they aren't quite there. I'm afraid beating the Huskers this year may just put them over the top so I'll (for the first time ever) root for the Huskers to knock them off.
That could happen but he was saying he would cheer for Iowa to win the championship game to knock the Big Ten out of the playoffs and cost them a lot of money. I'm saying it wouldn't because regardless if Iowa plays Michigan, Ohio St or Michigan St, 2 teams are getting into the New Year's Six Bowls:
Iowa beats Michigan:
Rose: Iowa
Fiesta/Peach: Ohio St
Iowa beats Michigan St:
Rose: Iowa
Fiesta/Peach: Ohio St and possibly MSU putting 3 teams in New Year's Six bowls
Iowa beats Ohio St:
Rose: Iowa
Fiesta/Peach: Ohio St
If I he to decide between my left testicle being cutoff and Iowa winning a national championship, it would be a hard choice for me.
Nope. I can respect what they are going but as each win goes by their fans are becoming more and more annoying. Yes we know your team is better than ISU's no reason to bring it up. No reason to rip on me for going to ISU games, I realize ISU isn't very good, but I do enjoy going to games. Yes I know it is cheaper to go to ISU games, but maybe if your school lowered the ticket prices more of your fans would show up for games.
In short the teams deserves this fun ride. Their fans don't.

I don't mind their teams, it's their fans that are more annoying than anything. Love to talk smack, but if you even open your mouth they cry and run away. My wife grew up with the taverns, after meeting both sides she can't stand the hawk crowd, and didn't push her at all. We didn't have season tickets to anything until she couldn't stand the Hawks anymore.
As as an old wiseman told me, it's better to have a daughter in a whorehouse than a hawk for a sister.

And for those still thinking about doing it. Post a picture of Bielema on your fridge, because that who you are cheering for.
I was with a bunch of Iowa fans at a bar after they beat Wisconsin (still got my one TV to watch the ISU-KU showdown) and after their national championship-like celebration, I attempted to start a chant of 'We're De-CENT! We're De-CENT!' since it was basically just two decent teams playing to win late.
It didn't go over very well but I enjoyed myself plenty.
This is where I'm at as well.
Also, I'm ok with them winning as long as they are worse than us. I've had to watch hawkeye basketball games the past few years since my roommate was a fan. I could sit and watch peacefully knowing we trashed them.
Anytime they beat us I can't stand to watch them win a game. Ever.
