I've converted

Well first off, it's thoroughly tongue in cheek. I've always rooted for ISU when they aren't playing Iowa, but I'm still an Iowa fan first. As for the timing, I just started a new job in Wisconsin and couldn't go home for Christmas, so I've got little else to do. And I haven't been on the HN forums for years. The conversation there lost its appeal a long time ago.
Next year at this time you will probably be a Badger....

One does not just come over from being an Iowa fan and get instantly accepted as one of us without a certain level of apprehension on our part you do realize. I suggest putting your status of your Cyclone allegiance on Hawkeye Report...let the uneducated Squawks excommunicate you from their dark side with their mindnumbing comments...show your work to us and then and only then we will take you into our fold. :)

you aren't a cyclone unless your simple existence makes squawks uncomfortable and upset. I agree with CySmurf. do this and you're in.

I just learned something about myself tonight. I've apparently crossed the line and become a full-blood Cyclone fan. How I realized this, you ask? I had the gall to suggest that Iowa State had the better football season and that, while Iowa is better than a Kempt-led ISU, the Cyclones would be favored if the teams played again today with Purdy leading the huddle. I was subsequently labeled an ISU homer by an Iowa fan who assured me that he's "not retarted," and who could present no factual evidence beyond the head-to-head result to refute my claim (he claimed Iowa's schedule was tougher, to which I responded with multiple SOS rankings putting ISU ahead of Iowa). Me, the Iowa alum named for a former Hawkeye player who also worked for the athletic department for the last 2+ years, was secretly a died-in-the-wool Cyclone. Or maybe it happened gradually and I just didn't notice (as such things tend to happen). Regardless, I hope you'll welcome me with open arms. ;)

What's your address? I'll send you a case of Bush Light. You might want to PM me the address unless you hope others might send some as well. :)

I don't have a problem with Hawk fans that actually attended/work for the TOE. They are usually rational and don't outwardly root against ISU. The pricks are the ones that have never set foot on either campus and worship the sideways visage of Fred Flintstone.
