When they showed a guy in a Hawkeye shirt on the big screen during a TV timeout at Fiserv Sunday there were loud boos from ISU crowd. A lot of Badger fans decided this was a good idea and joined in.
Iowa State vs Iowa Rivalry
- Thread starter Bu4ISU
- Start date
I don't pretend to cheer for iowa. mother **** iowa. i've found that my friends that went to either Iowa or ISU loathe the other school. and those that did not attend the university often time cheer for both teams when not playing one another.
but again i say
**** iowa
"I cheer for ISU when they're not playing my haks" is often a disingenuous slight and a form of disrespect. In doing so, they don't consider Iowa State to be a serious rival.
Spartans & Wolverines aren't cheering for each other. Seminoles & Hurricanes don't root for Gators on the side. Longhorns and Aggies don't wish to see each other succeed. Bruins & Trojans aren't holding hands. Tarheels and Blue Devils aren't happy to see each other in the Final Four. Cowboys don't want Sooner support.

I have a ton of friends that are Iowa fans. Funny enough, the good Iowa fans are the ones that actually went there. The most insufferable are the ones who hasn't had a family member step foot on their campus. The Big 10 Tournament was hell for me as one of the group chats I was in was **** riding Iowa all weekend (deservedly so). But there were a couple guys in the group chat who just started rooting for Iowa sports lately and started talking **** about Iowa State for no reason.
Those are the worst types of fans. They root for Iowa because it's the popular thing to do. It's annoying as hell. After Iowa lost I texted my actual Hawk buddy and told him that was a tough game but explained I was about to go off in the chat and to not get mad lol. I sent "Hell of a game boys. Glad you guys were able to watch another deep run. Go Hawks am I right?" Not a single response. Of course during the next two ISU games they were firing up the chat with "Go Tigers" and "Go Sconny" and I just got to rub their faces in it. One guy even resorted to mentioning our 2-22 record last year like that was some sort of slight at this point?
Long story short.. **** the Hawks. One of the most condescending fan bases in all of the country.

As Johnny Orr famously said, "Coach, I hate their guts!" Johnny was right. Their fan base is made up of low-IQ knuckle-draggers and Illinois rejects in their student body. Just open your eyes. The roads are littered with pickup trucks sporting the big parakeet logos, driven by people who have never spent a day in college, let alone a dentist's office.
And they look down on us. Something about being a "little brother". We're nobody's brother. Ridiculing our ag college, dismissing the fact that our university is responsible for putting wholesome food at decent prices on their plates. Or for some of them, extra plates. They are the ultimate Walmart fanbase, and if you don't care for my disdain and intense hatred for those asshats, I couldn't care less.
I don't feel sorry for this fat F**k, and his inbred fanbase friends. But if you want to, go ahead.

Wtf? I never cheer for Iowa no matter what.
Grew up in Hawkeye country, went to Iowa State, but I now live and work in Hawkeye country. Just the way it is lol.
You can't help the first part, but this is a you problem for moving back there. lol
While I don't cheer for the other in-state schools, I can see why others do. First, some may have connections to both schools. Second, one might grow up a fan of one school and then have a connection to the other school. Third, some will root for both due to being in different conferences. Finally, the state of IA as a whole looks for recognition being a small insignificant state, thus fans will root for the schools to bring more recognition and there's not as much to do here.
For me, I grew up a Hawk fan, however started following ISU in high school as I knew I was going there. I was a dual fan in high school and my first semester at ISU until I came home for the holidays where Hawk fans gave so much crap for going to ISU and had a very distorted view of Iowa and ISU. From then on, it was easy to root for whoever plays Iowa as my #2 team.

I grew up in Eastern Iowa and was one of the few Iowa State fans over there. I will not cheer for Iowa.
Not when the wife's the bread winner and has a phenomenal job
no brainer for me lol. My Iowa friends don't live by me though. They're from college and high school (I only graduated from ISU 4 years ago).
Of r
This is getting more complex. Your Iowa friends are from college also? They went to ISU? Or did you go clubbing in IC on weekends?Not when the wife's the bread winner and has a phenomenal job
And yet, they certainly didn't hesitate to market the whole America Needs Farmers bull$hit...not because they support farmers, but that it makes them $'s. They could give a rats rump for America's farmers and the ag industry.
I had a bunch of friends in HS who were Iowa fans. When we went to college we'd visit one another occasionally so we met each other's college friends.
None of this is that important lol. I know I can choose my friends. They're genuinely good guys but they're condescending when it comes to sports.
I know it’s not important, just curious. The ones who go to ISU but remain Iowa fans are the ones I don’t understand at all, why I asked that part. Had a classmate who was like that, a nimrod and not everyone thinks he is getting goofier all the time.

Okay if you say so..... You a younging.
I know a couple people who went to ISU and were Iowa fans. One of them stayed an Iowa fan throughout college but the other now despises Iowa. Good for that guy.
Just go on twitter if you want the full on hate version of the rivalry. Complete cluster-f and I'm here for it.
Start by following @CycloneLarry69 and the WRNL guys and you'll be set.
