Why do folks on here continually try to tell us how much kinship we should have with schools like KSU and WSU? YUCK! Both of those teams’ fanbases have more in common with the Hawkeye faithful than they ever will with Cyclone fans.
I remember way back when, and we're talking the '90's here, when I was going to school at UNI and drove down for a Saturday football game between UNI and ISU. This was Troy Davis era football. During the third quarter, I think, a group of ISU students came over with the specific purpose of starting sh!t with UNI students and fans. One of them even pushed me in an attempt to start a fight. I was sober, he wasn't, so I didn't take the bait.
Point is that every single fan base in the whole damn country has at least a few obnoxious d*ouchebags. In our case some of them like to post on here a lot. I think the common denominator is excessive alcohol consumption, naturally. But let's please not act all high and mighty when it comes to fan conduct compared to other schools.
