Ratio of Iowa fans to ISU fans?

[TritonHawkeye]

I reside in CR and would guess it to be 80/20, was raised north of davenport and would guess that at 90/10 or greater.

You guys are clearly delusional. It's probably about 50-50 and it's shifting to the good guys all the time.

Wow. That is...really far off.

My buddy put it best this summer. We both live in the Des Moines area(about 25-30 miles from Ames), and I would be lying if I didn't admit that is close to 50/50 here. Anyway, we were having a discussion about seeing ISU fans wearing their gear around town and he said.

"ISU fans are like the gays, there are no more of them than there were 20 years ago, but now they're proud of it and seems like they're everywhere."

That really needs to be somebody's sig.

60-40 Hawks favor - DSM area

65-35 Hawks favor - statewide (would be higher if more UI grads stayed in state after graduation)

75-25 (minimum) Hawks favor - outside the state

.........years of winning grew many Hawk fans in their younger years. Don't often run into ISU followers that aren't grads, relation to grads, or parents of grads.


* Note - don't confuse short term decibals with long term presence
