Is there a fan base with thinner skin in America than the Iowa Hawkeyes?

[SplitIdentity]

Jim Hightower in 1983 was threatened for his controversial BB call that enflamed Hawkeye fans' denialism...thin skinners have a long storied history at Iowa. It became a bonkers national story.

I know some of their racist fans. I don't find it surprising they are up in arms and spitting racist bile. But alarming "even for the internet" as Ryan on The Office says about Creed's online machinations.

I've spent enough time around both fanbases to know that rampant rasism exists in both. That's why it's an Iowa thing.

Have any of those hok fans ever seen an ISU vs west Virginia game? Talk about bad reffing....

I do have to agree with LetsGoHawks83, though. I've always felt the astrix was underutilized.

That's Emaw level analysis, there,

That is gross.

That’s embarrassing for the state.

A lot of horrific jaw-dropping racist stuff in that thread, but from a pure game-reaction fan POV I had to chuckle at the guy who thought - after a game throttled by refs calling ticky-tack fouls all game long - that the officials weren’t calling enough fouls.

“If only they’d called more fouls on moving screens and stopped LSU from pushing under the basket we’d have had a chance!” Lol

That was Czanios and warnocks MO for the final 4. They would have been gone in the first half if they did that.

What I think is hilarious is during the Louisville game during a time out Clark did that to Louisville players as they were going to their benches. Thankfully she is so classy. Not too often can someone get T’d up in a game and be lauded for being classy.

That may be but I personally know some openly racist fans of Iowa. I do not personally know any racist Iowa State fans. My experience and yours may vary and I accept that.

This is absolutely shameful. Does the rival site not have any moderator? Holy crap

sweet jesus this is a moronic group of racists

To be fair there were some in the thread that were trying to rein the stupid in.

I do find it funny how all week, Iowa fans begged Cyclone fans to pull for them because "it's good for the state" if they were to win, but now they're embarrassing the state with how they're coping and seething about getting curb stomped.

This is why you don't give the West End of Davenport internet access.

Lol prove it.

My idiot brother is all over social media saying there should be an investigation into that game. The final four game was the first ever women's basketball game he's watched.

You all need to google the Iowa Hawkeyes and Jim Bain sometime.

Your eickholts brother?

Glad the national media is picking up on this and glad Angel Reece is speaking the truth. It's disgusting and it's all over my twitter and facebook timeline. Glad to see some fans finally starting to call it out!

Is your brother David Eickholt, because he's saying the same thing, and likely also was his first time watching a women's basketball game

 

[Marcelason78]

Can you imagine these hok fans watching the game saying- crap, Clark is going to have to guard them.
And there’s another 3…..

 

[EnhancedFujita]

For the record, my brother isn't Eickholt LOL. I bet that's who he heard it from. Give him too much credit for an original thought.

Goes to show how even the mods on hawk sites show no remorse for what hawk fans post! So glad ours have class and weed out those on here that have no class.
