So last Saturday i showed up at my local watering hole (Roadside Inn) to watch the Iowa game. My friend and i were some of the first patrons to show up like normal. We watched the game all the way up until the rain delay.
Meanwhile there was a youth tackle football tournament going on at the local high school football field. Evidently a lot of the teams came from western Iowa which brought 20 or so cornshucker fans down to the bar. While the rain delay happend a couple fans wanted to watch the the Neby game. We said ok but when the Iowa game comes back on we are changing it back. We thought we would be nice.
Keep in mind there are only 2 flatscreens in the whole bar resturant and i also am great friends with the owner who is a big Hawkeye fan. There is Iowa gear hanging everywhere.
So i grabbed the remote to change the bar tv back to the Iowa game. When i did that several guys at the bar said what are you doing!? I responded With a "what are YOU doing? I explained to them about how they were sitting in a Hawkeye bar in Iowa and how they are lucky that i dont change both TVs to the Iowa game. I was trying to compromise.
In return i got a "show some respect" and a "since your out numbered go watch the game somewhere else!"
I just about freaked out. I said to them, "you dont see me driving into the heart of Nebraska and demanding the Tv stays on the hawkeye game do you? Look around fellas you are in a IOWA HAWKEYE BAR!! You show some respect... One guy said back to me, "whatever i guess we will take the high road." trying to make me feel bad for compromising. I felt like puking on everyone of them.
Seriously what would die hard Nebraska fans do to me if i tried to pull that **** in their state?
No matter how outnumbered you are never let our ******* neighbors to the west take over your local bar as long as you live in the Hawkeye State! That is my new pledge!
