Well, it's finally over

Why do you guys hate the state you either live in or grew up in so much? It's really disturbing behavior.
I agree with the other poster, really terrible look for this fanbase. I didn't realize people get so triggered over women's basketball.
Remembering all that fake drama after the Ohio State loss. Air knocked out of her when she wasn't touched. Collapse to floor. Haul her into locker room. The post game news conference. Security thereafter.
It's interesting to think about what her career would have been like if she'd come to Iowa State. I don't think CBF would let her shoot 20 times a game.
Probably the same meathead that shows up at ISU bowl games and basketball games in KC.
I don't hate the state, I hate my rivals. That's literally what most rivals do. You are the exception in this case, not the norm. Rivals hate each other and root against each other.
Do you think Bama fans root for Auburn because SEC? Do you think Texas A&M fans root for Texas to do anything but fail?
Rivalries are supposed to involve emotions, that is the whole basis for them existing.
Iowa doing good, does literally nothing good for Iowa State. It gives them attention, it gives them young fans that hadn't yet decided right or left, it helps them in recruiting, it helps them in in-state recruiting, it helps them in NIL funding. The list goes on. Not a single one of those things helps Iowa State.
I care about ISU.
Times like this I’m glad to be far away from the state.
At a minimum, WHO won’t be safe until after Olympics.
My guess is still constant local coverage for a decade, but never winning a championship means it will calm down in 20 years and I can watch Jeopardy live again if I’m still alive.
Hit a new low in the petitions at church today when we were supposed to pray for CC and the Hawks. Not for an end to famine and war, but CC and the Hawks.

Somebody must have got in her ear after that national embarrassment with her dad on tv. Wonder if Iowas AD said something to her or if she finally saw all the blowback about what a brat she was being.
I probably want to be a fan but moments like those made it hard.
Tiger Woods was the same for me. I loved watching the things he could do but his personality on the course if things weren’t going perfect was like the angriest a-hole of all time. That’s just his attitude in a game with no refs during his wild run of majors, not even talking personal life later on.
I'm sure her parents said something to her. But I do think that the pressure she had on her would be tough. They came sort of close to losing in the second round. I am an Iowa State fan, so I didn't watch her games this season but I gather the whining wasn't a new thing.
Oh ********. I know many people from both sides and none of them act like petulant children like you guys on this site do.
You guys were more ecstatic today than would have been if ISU men's were playing tommorrow night and you know it.
Isn’t that guy a Hawk troll?
I did. But again, I didn't watch enough to know if she was whiny all the time. But I trust that she was.
No. You clearly have a different perspective. That's fine. I'm not judging your fandom because of it. Don't judge mine because of my perspective.
The state does suck pretty hard, but I don't really care about women's basketball so I tend to just gravitate towards the underdog. I certainly don't want Iowa to win a natty in football or men's basketball ever, but I personally don't care if they're good at baseball for instance.
The weird thing to me is people complain so much about things that they have a free choice to just not pay attention to. I live in Ames and almost never hear or read anything about Caitlin Clark.
