The battle for the Hawkeye State?

Considering Iowa's nickname is the Hawkeye state I assume that's what they are referencing and not the TOE.

'The nickname, Hawkeye State, was adopted early in the state's history. First suggested by James G. Edwars as a tribute to Indian leader Chief Black Hawk. Two Iowa promoters from Burlington are believed to have popularized the name.'

You'd be correct.

The whole "Hawkeye State" or "Cyclone State" is one of my least favorite petty things we do as a fanbase and I am a pretty petty guy.
