How is it any different than people parking in front/back yards at Iowa games? Exactly.
I do have an inability to argue with someone who has the intelligence level of a 7th grader...
Sweet baby Jebus, DJK15, is being this big of a ********* fun for you? I'm sure you're sitting behind your computer laughing about how you pissed off a bunch of Cyclone fans. Sweet. That's something to be proud of. Why don't you make a t-shirt for it with your awesome design skills that you gained while going to school at Iowa State.
I have friends who didn't graduate from the school they cheer for, but they also didn't spew this much vitriol about from where they did graduate. I think it's kind of moronic, but whatever. I also was "brainwashed" (my husband's term, not mine) to be a Cyclone from an early age and am working on my own kids (my three year old already knows the fight song. I think I'll wait a few years before I teach him Iowa State Drinks, though.) so obviously I'm biased.
The husband graduated from a small private engineering school in Indiana. His hierarchy of athletic teams goes something like this: general sports fan, his Alma Mater, then Hawkeye fan (I know, I almost wasn't allowed to marry him) then Cyclone fan. Personally, if ISU would have followed through on the scholarship offer for football he probably would have been a Cyclone, but that's another story.
Anywho, he and his brother share Iowa FB tickets their uncle gets every year. He's usually up and out of CR by 6am to get down to IC to meet his brother (who drives in from DM) and then head to tailgating. The last two years they've ended up meeting at the mall and carpooling to some random business to park because they can't get close to Kinnick anymore. Obviously, there are going to be varying experiences, but from what I've heard from him talking about things when he gets home, it's a total PITA to tailgate at Iowa. Not like that will stop him, he's up for any excuse to drink beer with his breakfast burritos.

I edited it because I bolded all the areas I initially noticed that were grammatically incorrect, and after realizing I missed at least three, I just gave up and un-bolded it.
Well said, Cowbell. It's personal prefrence, dominated by your allegiance. I have tailgated in IC a couple of times, even for non-ISU games, and I hated it. Hell, I lost my buzz before I even saw Kinnick, let alone got to my seat. But, I don't like Iowa, so my complaint is greater. I like cheddar cheese on my hamburgers, wifey likes American.
BTW, love it when chicks curse.....:wink:
Sounds like you've finally figured out that my original point wasn't a claim that tailgating in parking lots is unnatural or conceptually wrong. Good for you.
You may not have the intestinal fortitude to say "oops, I misunderstood your post, my bad", but it's become obvious that you've dropped your crusade for that reason. Again, good for you.
Sorry, I'm not usually this much of an a-hole. It's just whenever I get into it with Al and Bubba I turn into a Classless Hawk Fan.
How in god's name did you reach that conclusion based off me telling you I don't have the ability to argue with someone who has the intelligence level of a 7th grader?
Remember, DJK, if you point 1 finger at someone, there are 4 pointing back at you.:wink:
What are we arguing about again?
A couple possible Hawk fans calling a Clone fan a loser in Disney World?
Who has the best tailgating in the Big 12?
Who has better tailgating, Iowa or ISU?
What should determine where someone goes to college?
What surface (grass, concrete) is acceptable for tailgating?
Who has the biggest johnson?

Well, you were very adamant about staying on topic in your first few posts. I explained the mistake you were making so unless you are a complete moron (it's possible but I think you're more stubborn than moronic) you probably looked at the context and saw where you took a misstep. Now you just want to hurl insults. Granted, your ego seems huge so you'll never admit that you accused me of holding a position that I do not. But whatever. We both know the truth.
I recently saw a poll (no pun intended) that said the 2 groups with the largest wangers were ISU grads and Hawkeye fans. :biggrin:
