there is absolutely nothing that could turn me against Iowa State!
I was actually all set to begin the process of applying for a transfer from KU when ...
I met my wife, so that kinda made me stay put!
That would have been about a decade ago.
My story is this:
I joined a fraternity at KU in my third year of college, somewhere along the way I decided to take a roadtrip to visit the nearest chapter, which happened to be at Iowa State.
I had a great time hanging out with those guys, so much that for one semester, I used to leave Lawrence on the weekends to drive up to Ames to party!
that's when I began to consider a transfer, I liked those guys, loved the campus, and was interested in the school programs ...
Sadly, their chapter is no longer there on campus ... but I have lots of good memories and still talk to them regularly.
in fact, one of them was the first to send me a text congratulating me when KU won the NCAA title!
As I mentioned earlier, a very good friend of mine (and KU fraternity Brother) used to date a Cyclone gal ... she also happened to be in the same sorority as my wife at KU.
When he passed away, his family asked me to locate her (I had their common alumnae network) and give her the bad news.
So as you may gather, Iowa State is very significant to me ...
And I hate Iowa simply because they are in the Big Ten!
