That, good sir, is awesome. I have to teach my 2 year old and 10 month old that one. Especially since Gampa on the mother's side is a hawk fan.

2nd graders teasing eachother?

What has this world come to?

It's too bad your daughter gets ridiculed, but they're kids - they tease. They probably do it because they know it gets under your girl's skin. Little boys can be punks like that.

I have a D-bag hawk fan that lives down the block from me. Last year a couple of neighborhood ladies decided to have a neighborhood block party. This guys wife comes down but she says that he wouldn't come nor would he let his 3 yr old son come down because there were cyclone fans that were going to be there. This came from his wife first hand.

I have friends and neighbors who for the most part are decent hawk fans, but guys like this are a joke.

That it taking it a big too far. And this comes from a person whos stomach gets upset when he drives by IC on I80 and who hates to make any stop in IC.

Man, that was close. It almost went two pages on a hawk thread and the whole time I was trying to figure out where SH was. Wait to keep up on these hawk. The fun thing my kids do wasn't even taught by me. Whenever my boys head to the restroom for #2 they announce that they are going to send a message to Iowa City. It wasn't me who taught them and that is how I will leave it.

I totally understand that. But I think, as my original post alluded to, that there is more of a tendency for Hawk fans to look upon Cyclones, who sport their school colors, with disdain or give some smart-alec comment about how they "don't have a right to wear cardinal & gold ISU."

I'm reminded of a story a friend of mine told me (he is a Hawk fan whose daughter was a recent graduate of ISU). After graduating, his daughter had given him a Cyclone sweatshirt to wear. He happened to be in an Eastern Iowa town (don't recall which one) and entered a store. Another man took one look at his sweatshirt and said, "How dare you wear that shirt in this part of the state." My friend took one look at him and said, "For your information, I just doled out about 50 grand into this institution and I believe I have the RIGHT to wear it wherever and whenever I so choose!" It shut the guy up immediately.

I don't believe that all Iowa fans are like the "jerk" in the store, but I believe a LOT of the non-graduates of EIU are like this. I work at a high school and the faculty who are EIU graduates are generally civil, intelligent and gracious when it comes to the rivalry. Those Hawk fans on the staff who are not graduates of Iowa tend to be, by far, the most vicious, anti-Cyclone group.

Smart guy I am sure..........

try growing up in CR during the 80's... as a Cyclone Fan. That will teach you inner strength and morals.

I wouldn't dare wish what I went through on my second worst enemy, let alone my own kids.

Kids AND parents can be ******** to kids about Herky and the criminals in IC.

Otherwise, I have good friends that are pukeyes and we all tease, in good nature, about the rivalry.

-keep.

You know, the older I get, the more sympathy I feel toward hawkeye fans.

Being a fan of the hawks is a combination of mental retardation, and insanity.

You have your inbred bar-stool fan, who didn't quite graduate grade school.

You have your wannabe Hawk Fan, who didn't even attend Iowa, but gets a special-education degree in "journalism" from some multi-directional school diploma mill not even in the same state, but has just enough brain cells to hoodwink the rest of the non-university-attending low-life Hawk fans to pay him to pimp their team full-time.

Then you have the mentally defectives, who still, somehow, have the basic intelligence to attend and possibly graduate from Iowa State University, but lack the mental acumen to actually cheer for the school they attend.

The latter are nuts....

I've heard some horror stories of ISU fans directed towards Iowa fans (kids too), so it does go both ways.

Both fanbases have their doucheholes.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a hard-core Iowa fan...
