It's been evident awhile now in their posting and reactions.
1.5 million. The ISU fans that I know aren't enamored with her.
Exactly, if you watch the clip there's like 100 people watching this group. Not really a "gallery". I've seen more spectators at a high school golf match.
Puke…..John Deere golf coverage all over eastern ia tv….. mostly about her ….puke
Daughter had tickets to the whole thing for $20. No desire to go.
Field report. Caitlin Clark has a real national profile amongst sports fans.
I've been living in a southern state for about 9 years now. There's a group of other guys in my neighborhood that talk sports. They all know I'm an Iowa/Iowa State fan (I know I know, but I attended both schools).
In terms of state of Iowa athletes that folks here have asked me about unprompted, Caitlin Clark is first and it isn't even close. Almost every sports-fan dad I'm friends with in the neighborhood was asking about her at tournament time, and half of them even watched the final four and finals games. One of the neighbor high school athlete girls jumped into a conversation to add that she's a fan and was cheering Iowa in the finals.
Not more than one person ever asked me about Keagan/Halliburton/Garza. I can't think of a football player that got more than one random question, including Breece.
(Easily the second most unprompted mentions amongst these folks after last year is Purdy. NFL is king.)

Son lives in New Jersey. Wears a lot of Raygun shirts. He’s been asked about Breece, Purdy, Allen, Will, and Chuck Grassley. One of these things is not like the other. No Caitlin Clark that he’s mentioned anyway.
Note sure why people have to hate on Clark. She IS a big deal nationally. The local media weren't the only ones to notice, her JD appearance was on ESPN.com main page crawl.
Why not feel good about a DM girl being elite at her sport. Doesn't mean you need to root for Hawks.
Sometimes silence is golden. We don't all have to be Stephen A. Smith!

I like the way she plays basketball and she seems like a good person. It’s the media that makes it all stupid.
the difference is made up of the 5million immigrants that are in the state. they came because of cc
Every email I send, it asks if I want to send it to Clark, has the CC right there after to.
I know a handful personally who are, or are at least neutral to her. I'd like to think they're in the minority
The coverage over here is nauseating. Saw someone posted below a photo of her golfing, "So Brave!" ****, I know some of the bravest people that ever lived then if going golfing on a nice weather day is "So Brave".
Give me your poor and huddled masses yearning to see the chicken wing push. They’ll come all the way to Iowa only to get “you can’t see me.”
What did they think, Zach Johnson was going to bounce one off her head? Brave? They are just getting certifiable at this point.
