CyHawk Hot Takes

[madguy30]

Yesterday the wife and I went to a bar in CR and naturally, I wore my ISU gear. I got a friendly "Go Hawks" by someone not 5 seconds walking in. Later in the evening, I went up to pay my tab and a guy came up to me and asked me if the Big 12 was even going to be a conference next year with Texas and Oklahoma leaving... Which I responded that we'll be just fine now that Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State are members next year. He had ZERO clue that happened. He also didn't know that Utah has been damn successful in the Pac 12.

I'd guess they didn't know because the local media hasn't covered it very well.

That said there's not many fan bases full of belligerent ('passionate) but really uninformed fans out there.

I rattle off a bunch of stuff about Nebraska to Bucky and Iowa fans whenever 'they couldn't handle the move to the B1G' comes up and it's just blank stares.
