I know a few engineers that transferred from ISU to Iowa. It wasn't because they where shunned, but they were a certain adjective that started with S. Needless to say they would not have received an engineering degree from ISU.
Aka type up a list of how Iowa used to be good and how ISU hasn't won a conference title, etc? We all know Hawk fans love to cling onto the past
I do sense that there is a growing interest in Iowa State amongst the high school crowd. Not sure if that is due to athletics or a much better marketing plan than Iowa. ISU had another increase in instate and OOS applicants this year according to Leath. I have heard that Iowa has had a reduction in instate and OOS applications this year. Unless the yield increases or they get another massive influx of internationals, Iowa could see a smaller frosh class this year.
ISUs Chemical engineering program has converted many aspects to these fields. Based on relative rankings and endowments you would not consider Iowa over ISU in this field either.
Equally dumb arguments. Iowa will be good again, and isu will win a conference title. Hopefully it doesn't take another 100 years for either to happen.
I also live in the Twin Cities and from my experience it's pretty even.
Also, when driving from central Iowa to Twin Cities I always see more ISU plates.
Fair enough, just never understood Iowa fans and talking about how they are better than ISU now because of what they have done in the past. At least you're optimistic and talk about the future saying they will be good again, most Hawk fans I know are still talking about Ricky Stanzi's 3 bowl wins.
Of course not, that's kooky talk. But if your chosen school is good enough to educate you isn't it good enough to cheer for?
1. You're right about UI in Iowa. They have and will always have more fans than ISU.
2. This stuff about ISU not wanting non grad fans is wrong and I'd challenge you to find a post that says that. Hawk fans seem to always equate Cyclones fans hate for non grad UI fans with not liking (or wanting) non grad ISU fans. They're totally different things.
***UI grads = typically okay fans. non UI grads = biggest ******bags on planet Earth***
That's all we're sayin'.
I think its telling that CyFan has 100 members to every 1 member on HawkNation.
Does this mean that there are more Cyclone fans in the state?
Does this mean that the government isnt doing a good job providing internet to the poor?
Does Kirkwood not offer a typing class?
The world may never know.

This ... Dean's List, freshman year? Nothing to sneeze at but not exactly Rhoads's scholar material either.
In other words it, aka interest, ranks right up there with 1973 when the hawks went 0-11 for the season. Sounds good to me.
Actually, I really don't see all that many U of I vanity plates. Tons of decals & bumper stickers, but not a lot of plates.
I honestly think a big reason is that many think you have to be a graduate to get those plates. (I'm not just taking a jab at their fans here, I've heard this belief first-hand often)
