I believe he has a degree from Wisconsin (if I'm not mistaken). You would have him be a Tavern Cyclone? I bet he cheers for ISU in every other game.
Yes I do. And to be clear, Iowa State also doesn't have the program, so it's not like it was ever an option.
I cheer for Iowa State in every other game, and I'm probably more passionate about Iowa State sports. But I'm a Wisconsin alum and my general belief is that you should always cheer for your alma mater over your childhood team. So I'm not going to cheer against Wisconsin.
Also, I feel like a necessary part of being a "tavern ________" is that you're an ******* and you're only connection is that you cheer for the team and don't have any other connection to the school/don't care about the school as a whole. I'd like to think I'm not really an ******* (at least when it comes to sports fandoms), I have family connections to Iowa State and care about the university as a whole. Therefore, I'm not a tavern clone.
Sweet sixteen means way more to Iowa state than Wisconsin this year
Yeah, probably. But Wisconsin was picked to finish 10th in the Big 10 this year, so getting to the sweet 16 is still a major accomplishment. Plus, see above. A championship is such a big deal that it would overcome me being an alum.
