Iowa State vs Iowa Rivalry

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.
I'm so sorry you have lots of friends that are hoks fans. What a waste.

Thinking of this, I know several UNI grads (my sister is one) but only one drake grad. Do those people not leave DM or so they leave the state. I honestly never run into them.
 
This thread may be beating a dead horse , let me know if so.

I am so sick of this Iowa State vs Iowa rivalry. We both pretend to cheer for each other when we’re not playing each other.. both sides know that’s not true. Can both of our fan bases start to treat this like an actual rivalry? I want every Iowa fan in our mentions when we lose. I want every Iowa State fan to chirp Iowa in regards to Richmond. Is this just a me problem? It feels like we are gaslighting each other at all times.

I don't pretend to cheer for Iowa. I LOVE it when they lose. I hate them with a deep fire.

Pretty much my experience. It never fails that non-grads are the obnoxious ones. They take their cues from big city professional sports fans.

What happened to Hawkize? I saw his account was suspended. He's the worst of them all. He was getting absolutely roasted after Iowa lost and Iowa State won, so of course, he quickly deflected to his usual sob stories. The guy is a total loser and hypocrite. It's fans like him that ensure I'll never root for Iowa. And he's one of many that go out of their way to **** on our school, town, and fans.

Yeah Twitter put him in timeout lol. That guy is absolutely miserable. I'm sorry, but if you are so unhinged about sports that you get banned from Twitter, you probably need to re-evaluate a lot of your priorities.

But yeah that's hilarious. There are plenty of Iowa fans just like him that are pulling their hair out and cannot fathom that Iowa State, yet again, is the most popular basketball team in the state. They had essentially 1-2 years in which their school was in the spotlight and TJ and co. came in and stole all of it back. ******* beautiful.

My favorite was when he tried to "well actually" a fellow Hawk fan by saying the photo he took of his kids was with Kris and not Keegan and got immediately checked by Kenyon Murray

He's got a BIG TIME job in real life (I'm absolutely serious) so I have no idea how he has time to be on Twitter all day, every day.

Dude seriously needs to reevaluate how he lives his life.
 
My ONLY sure exception is a scenario where them winning directly helps ISU in some way. (They beat someone we need moved down for BB seeding or bowl selection).

Secondary consideration.. if Iowa was 1-10 in FB and them beating Ohio State by a score of 7-6 knocks OSU out of the playoffs and puts OK St or Cincy, etc into the playoffs instead. (Even that probably still helps ISU revenues)

Honorable mention.. They win enough that it ends up that ISU spoiled some kind of 'miracle season' for them.
 
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.


Whoever puts people in Hokeye shirts on the videoboard when they aren't even playing should be fired.

We used to have a guy post on here 24 hours a day. I think he got suspended as well.
 
I refuse to watch a single Hok game. I actually hate the CyHawk games because I have no choice but to watch them then. The call-in shows on WHO1040 after a bad football loss or a string of losses and they all want KF fired is gloriously entertaining however.
 
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.
AMEN! I have always despised how the non Ag school IOWA decided to promote Ag as one of their most important social and economic concerns in the state and the midwest when they don' t even offer an agriculture based education program. The use of ANF continued after the Hayden year of the farm crisis in the 80's. They were trying to show support in tough times in the midwest.,.......apparenlty they didn't mind the perception and interest it got from agriculture....however, it worked so well they kept on with it to this day. WTF do they care or have to do with promoting, investing in, developing agriculture and finding ways to help farmers, ag industry and markets?
 
I grew up in Eastern Iowa and was one of the few Iowa State fans over there. I will not cheer for Iowa.
You would be surprised the amount of so called Hawkeye counties where the clone license plates outnumber the hawks.
