We “won our Super Bowl” last week. Any fun ways you punished or terrorized the Hawks in your life?
ya we take them to a secluded warehouse and tie them up to chairs with duct tape over there mouths and then we turn on a boombox that is blasting "stuck in the middle with you" and then i pull out my razor blade and cut them a little bit and then sit on their lap and cut their ear off.

its classic fun

Seeing some Hok fans this weekend and we'll see if it comes up. I need to see more from ISU before I think it was really that great of a win outside of finally coming out ahead without playing well so don't feel the need to gloat.

Depending what angle they go with I've got plenty of things in the chamber including basketball, conference strength, false narratives, etc.

I don't even say a word. I just ave a little half grin on my face and they just start spouting off on how Iowa lost the game and Iowa State didn't win. It's a fun little pass time.

I am more of the ****-eating grin type myself, and I work with a lot of women who don't care about football or are just very football-incompetent, t-shirt hawk fans. Not worth going there with them.

My brother in law though is a huge hawk homer, so when my wife was talking to him on the phone a few nights ago, I had her relay a few barbs for me. His retort was something along the lines of having won 6 in a row vs ISU, so was happy for me. Congrats on 1-6. I didn't care, because at that point I knew I had him pretty riled up to get a response like that.

New Zoom background for morning 'round-up' meetings this week (TONS of 'Tavern Hoks' up here in N.Iowa). Also wore the 'all blacks' on Monday (black Cyclone polo) - you know as a show of sympathy for their loss.

Have a married couple I am friends with that he is a Hawkeye fan she is a Cyclone fan and every year the loser has to dress up in the other team's apparel and post it as their profile picture on Facebook. I think she is a lot better sport than he is about it as he absolutely hates ISU and roots against them no matter what so I just love seeing him in Cyclone gear when the Hawks lose. She even messes with him the week leading up to the game by sharing the memory from her timeline from the first time he lost the bet.

A colleague is a Hawk fan and we have made a bet every year of varying degrees. We've bet colonoscopies, changing work profile pictures/signatures, icy hot on the... during the fantasy football draft, polar bear swims etc. Last game I had to get my back waxed.

This year I was fed up with always losing so I only bet a chipotle burrito and finally I won so it certainly hasn't been even.
What aren't you mentioning about the chipotle burrito?

I started talking to a guy at an event the other night went to Iowa and said he was a huge football fan. When he realized I was wearing Cyclone gear, he mentioned that he is a "fair weather fan" and I pointed out "most Hawkeye fans are". After that, it was a pretty good night.

I didn't make any fun bets this year, but always love hearing good stories about them.

Tavern Hoks get butthurt way to easily, so I don't tend to mess with them as it's not worth it.

On Tuesday we went out to eat and my Tavern Hok Aunt and Uncle joined us, and I was wearing my ISU Football polo which was totally unintentional. He freaked out that I was gloating and had to remind me constantly of the 6 year streak, and how we barely won when their offense is so ******. I didn't even want to talk about the game with him at all knowing him, but got baited into it because of my damn shirt I had on the whole day.

Surprised he didn't bring up the 80s/90s streak.
