Do you want ISU to win when not playing Iowa?

[HawkeyeMcNutt]

Tailgating this weekend an interesting point came across a few of us talking. Being an Iowan and all, as were the four guys involved with the conversation, the conversation turned to ISU beating UConn on the road. Quickly this turned to, as an Iowan, do you want the other Iowa team to win when they're not playing the Hawks? Many people were split on this issue, so just was curious to see what the response here would be like.

No. Seething hatred for anything ISU. Long, convoluted story as to why. If there are any Star Trek, Next Generation fans out there think Picard/Borg. That is why I despise ISU so much. I actually hope bad things happen to them, seriously...

 

[Ikeasaurus]

Nope, sorry. I was temporarily required to root for the Clones for a couple years once and I promised myself I would never get off the boat again, never get off the boat.

I don't know what you're saying. Insert Seinfeld "on/off the wagon" conversation here.

 

[LGEND24]

Not usually. I did want them to beat UConn because I predicted that as their "big win" before the season started.

 

[dyerhawk]

third option? sometimes

 

[hawkfan340]

I usually pull for them or don't pay attention. I admit sometimes I embrace the comedy of their shortcomings, but I pull for them for the most part.

I used to root for them when not playing Iowa, but as the years have gone on and listening to the stupidity coming from their mouths and visiting CF every now and then I hope they never win another game for as long as I live.

 

[bkim24]

Yes, i like when the state looks good

Ok, I did not lose my allegiance to the Hawks, but it was a good friend who was a starter for a couple years thing, and free tickets were a factor.

 

[Hawknick]

not a chance

 

[clicheusername3]

don't care.

No. Do they want us to win?

have the same problem with Minnesota starting next year. Good family friend is committed at QB.

 

[IAHawkFan]

Honestly, I don't really care much either way.

I don't hate them, but I don't follow them either. I suppose that, from the standpoint that every wiin that an opponent puts up, it helps Iowa perspective, I want them to win. Oh, and I want them (and everyone else) to beat Nebraska and Texas (and, if they ever played, Illinois and ND)...

 

[uofihawkInation]

I want them to win most of the time, but I'd laugh so hard if they lose their BCS automatic qualifying conference.

 

[QnD4hawks]

You dont have to want them to lose they usually do that just fine without us wanting. They pretty much have sucking on lockdown.

So no. I dont wish them to lose football games

 

[HawkI4eva]

Hate ISU, will never cheer for them, however, if they continue to win it will somehow make our loss look better for possible bowl situations.

 

[DTF]

I don't really root for anyone else to win unless they're playing a team that gets undeserved attention.
