This one might not be as good as usual. But, there's got to be some good stories out there. Lets here 'em!

Unrelated, but I had two Hawk fans approach me at our high school homecoming game last night and tell me it was ISU's superbowl and UNI is the best team in the state.

Had a guy next to me in a Hawkeye shirt, and he got in an argument, and his excuse for losing last week was "well at least we have tradition". He left during the 1st quarter and was never seen again. Probably got shanked by someone.

You must have been sitting by us because it might have been my group that got in the argument with him.

Earlier in the day saw a hok family watching their son playing soccer. Mom, dad, grandparents were all wearing their hok gear. Except for their 2 year old daughter wearing a Nebraska shirt. Either she was adopted or she was being punished.

I was in a Boulder bar last night wearing my I State shirt and got props - wow those obnoxious Buff fans are humble and more cordial these days.

Nebraska crap makes some kind of sense if people came from the volleyball game. Iowa crap, like the idiot wearing the "Kinnick" Nike shirt in the student section deserved the ridiculing the idiot got. I was shocked he didn't get pop thrown at him.

The CU fanbase is such a bunch of frontrunners that I've observed they're only TRULY obnoxious when they're winning. Anyone who's willing to identify with that "dumpster fire" nowadays is probably a Person of Fine Character. Too much of their fanbase simply drives in from Denver because they can't get/afford tickets to the Broncos games, and that contingent gives the approximately 317 "good" fans in their fanbase a bad name.

317 is Indianapolis area code.

I am more and more convinced that in some alley somewhere, they hand out Iowa gear for free to people wearing garbage bags or something. I can't tell you how many times I see people wearing it during Iowa games that they are paying ZERO attention to.
