I am still wearing my Iowa Hawkeye sweatshirt, hat and t shirt, and I'll wear them proudly tonight. I have an amazing family, and I would like to think of the Iowa football team as another type of "family". I have cheered for them since I had the ability to cheer. I know this is the old apples to oranges comparison, but when something negative happens in my own family, we still love and support without conditions. We have the ability to make changes in our family when they are needed, and address issues to repair holes in our family. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to make any when we root for our favorite team. We can be upset, bewildered, disgusted, nauseous, etc...but I still have to support my family. I am not "done" nor will I ever be "done" with this team. Am I disgusted, upset, hell yes, but my love for Iowa football has no conditions. My life would have a lot of emptiness (sports-wise) in it if it werent for this school and this team. Go Hawks...in good and in bad!! Win a bowl game and start fresh next fall.
