No, I said that I say it in a friendly tone and it usually leads to a brief conversation.
Fans In the Stands and in the Tailgating Lots

I had a pretty drunk, fat, college aged gal walking the same way I was heading home from the 2008 game at Kinnick. She gave me some "words of post game encouragement", I gave her some "words of lose some weight encouragement".
Saying ALL was me exaggerating. MOST (51%?) Iowa fans yell it in your face, jump around like drunk girls, then run away. It must be happening to others too.
I am assuming between her being drunk and fat that she didn't run away?
Had a hawk fan and youngish son sit next to us, and they couldn’t have been nicer. Conversed with them throughout the game with no animosity at all. Son cheered quietly a couple of times when they did something good, but they were very respectful and complimentary of Iowa State.
Went once. Never again. I had never been there so I thought I'd walk around and check the place out. It was not pleasant. People getting right in my face with all kinds of comments.
I listened to Blum and CW podcast and Blum said he left at halftime because of altercations in his section he didn't want his kids to continue to witness.
I hate this game and everything hawkeye. The day this series ends will be a happy one for me.
So, can someone tell why Iowa fans (unprovoked) have to yell "Go Hawks" to anyone wearing ISU gear... any time and anywhere? Are all of them just that dooshey?
BCClone I am done, you win. Sorry that most Iowa fans that you encounter are loud and obnoxious. Almost all of it ISU fans that I have met in Kinnick, around Iowa, and in Texas have been really nice and cordial people. There have been a few drunk loud ISU fans but they are the exception.
Good luck the rest of the way.

Looks like you were the one that broke 76's back.
It was more of a roll when she lost her sandal in the mud and fell off the curb.
They each have their own way to flee. Was it downhill then for her? Like a rolling tire?
There's a large chunk of this fanbase who desperately wants a real rivalry but can't handle all that comes with it.
Ever see a sea lion roll off a buoy into the ocean?
If you want a brief conversation, how about "Hey are you from Iowa, I am from Iowa too"? Why go the ******* route?
Not to pile on, but Iowa fans are the only fanbase I’ve ever seen that feels the need to wear their gear to a game they aren’t even remotely close to being involved in. They do it at JTS, on the road, and at bowl games. After the 2018 Texas game in Austin, I had a guy in an Iowa shirt come up to me (a senior in HS at the time) and say “nice try buddy”.
I'll say this. I've always HATED the Iowa game, absolute hatred for being in Ames during this game. My wife made me come because she wanted to tailgate with friends. Never gonna happen again! We will lose to that team for the end of time, 25% of the stands were hawks, huge amounts in the tailgate lots just yelling and breaking balls. I can't imagine anyone actually had fun Saturday.
Honestly, if this game got dropped, I would be much happier. It has nothing to do with the wins or losses. The Hok fans make the experience nauseating.
I've been to a few away games and usually just keep to myself and cheer when we do something good.
Hawk fans seem to think that wherever they go everyone wants to hear their commentary and tell you when your opinion is wrong.
