I buy the KState - Iowa similarities, but Southern Miss and Iowa aren't even close to the same style. The only similarity is that they both represent the head of a bird of prey and you'll have that when their mascots are both birds of prey. (Although actually Iowa's isn't so if anyone is in the wrong it is Iowa since theirs should be an avian eyeball.)

Actually it would be this:



The mascot is based off a character in Last of the Mohicans. Which is dumb.

I think you're confusing the state nickname with Alan Alda's character in M*A*S*H.

I had this problem since my two tickets are on the aisle. My wife and I were always getting squeezed out so I just buy one seat back for the inside seat to mark our territory. Works well for us and the wife likes the seat back.

Well played.

On the press box, I ask this as a serious question... is ISU's press box not big enough? I guess I have never seen or heard any complaints on its size. Most schools who increase the size of their press box do so for the purposes of adding suites. ISU does not seem to have a shortage of suites, and if they did, it would seem to make more sense to add them to the east side, and move the students into the SEZ.

Press box is fine. I've seen nothing from JP that implies we are going to expand the size of it. He has said on multiple occasions that the interior needs to be upgraded (amenities, etc.).

Mascot

Iowa's mascot is Herky the Hawk, a black and gold caricature of a Hawk. Herky was created as a cartoon in 1948, and first appeared at a sporting event in 1959. Herky was actually named after the Greek God Hercules. The term "Hawkeye" originally appeared in the book The Last of the Mohicans and was later used in its plural form to describe the people of Iowa. The University of Iowa adopted this as the nickname for its athletic teams.

Herky and the Hawkeyes

The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago.

The name Hawkeye was originally applied to a hero in a fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Author Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them.

In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison.

Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawk-Eye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval.

The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawk, was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism.

I mean I guess if Southern Miss and Iowa's logos weren't similar this wouldn't have happened?

Patent office tells Southern Miss its logo too similar to Iowa’s | Hawk Central

Der, der, derrrr.

So? Two old judges opinions on legality means little in terms of perception.

Nevertheless, other schools having similar colors or logos to each other does not suggest such ISU having such a similarity to another college program is a positive.

CyDude16, you need to get laid, son, you are far too angry about this.

That's rich. I'm okay with the whole needing to get laid thing. Got that pretty much under control since I'm still in college.

Thanks for worrying about me though.

I'ma have to agree with Klamath on this. There's a difference between disagreeing with someone and calling them an idiot (before changing it to der, der, derrr).

Hawkeye was named after the character in Last of the Mohicans. The Hawks were nicknamed after the state (and indirectly after the character too). We're both right.

Yeah, after my last post, I went back to what I was doing and finally thought to myself...you're arguing over the origins of the Hawkeye...WTF. Decided not to delete it just because I was lazy.

Carry on, as you were...at least we can agree on Ribs and Whiskey.
