Friday OT #1 - Rivalry Week
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
No traditions specific to this week, but after every Iowa State game, I call my dad so that we can talk about it. We used to watch games together occasionally, but that ended when he came over to watch Georges and company get ran out of Morgantown. Not saying it was his fault, but one can never be too sure lol
Friendly banter with good friends that are hawk fans is about it really.
Win or lose, I always look out before leaving the house to make sure the derelict Pantherhawk next door isn’t outside. He’s a jerk either way. He cursed out one of my kids when he was in kindergarten for wearing a Cyclone shirt.
We get a Casey's breakfast pizza the morning of the game since it feels like a state of Iowa thing when living out of state.
Not gonna lie, I've reached the point where I hate this week.
If we win, it's a glass of the good whiskey. If we lose, it's several glasses of the bad whiskey.
Living in Cedar Rapids I go out of my way to wear ISU gear during Cy-Hawk week. Interestingly enough the Hawks are pretty quiet and reserved this week. Save a few mouth breathers that think they still have a Heisman QB and several NFL lineman.
I’m torn. I think it is a big rivalry and don’t want it to end, but I also just hate it because it brings out the worst in everyone.
My parents (also Iowa State fans) have started coming up to Wisconsin games when Wisconsin’s plays at home during this week just to avoid it.
I actually gave my ticket to the Iowa-Wisconsin game to a friend because I “don’t like who I become”
None, any more. From 2002-2013 I was at the site of the game every single year. I've only been once since.
It was a personal holiday, for a long, long time but getting older, having more responsibilities, and living farther from Ames and Iowa City just kinda changes all that.

Agree. Office is muted all week. Only Iowa shirt today is my biz partner, who graduated from Iowa around 1978. He is the only other Iowa grad in the company besides me (MBA to go with my ISU AeroE BS).
