The Story Behind Iowa’s “ANFâ€￾ Helmet Sticker

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Iowa's "ANF" Helmet Sticker for "America Needs Farmers"

Here's opening to article:

A college sports program can be so ubiquitous, so all-encompassing for the residents of a state that it comes to define that state above history, industry and anything else.

Rare is it that a program publicly gives some of that attention back to the state itself, acknowledging that the state shapes the school’s identity first and foremost and not the other way around. Iowa and legendary ex-coach Hayden Fry are one such exception.

ISU fans...derp derp...we make the farmers. Derp.

 

[herkyattack]

We are such hypocrites. If America needs farmers so much, why don't we actually produce some? Iowa State is the only school in the country who should be able to pull this off.

If anybody knew they existed, Iowa wouldn't have to champion their cause. It's good to do good, for those who can't do it themselves.

That reminds me, I gotta put my ANF sticker on my car.

 

[Stewo]

Why didn't Fry just use TUOIWANKWGUOFBTGAHW (The University Of Iowa Wants And Needs Kids Who Grew Up On Farms Because They're Good Kids And Hard Workers) then? Makes more sense to me.

Stewie, u jelly that Cringer...err, I mean Criner...didn't come up with the idea first?

 

[FalseMirage]

Every time a clown cries about ANF I can't help but laugh. Cry clowns, cry, cry, cry. You are forever Hayden's little b!tch.

 

[Stewo]

Stewie, u jelly that Cringer...err, I mean Criner...didn't come up with the idea first?

Yeah. Every time I see an ANF sticker, I punch whatever is in my path. And then I scream, "Damn you HOKS!", at the top of my lungs. I'm a tavernclone after all.

why do you clownz get so aggro about ANF? Seriously, what's the rationale?
America really does need farmers. Do you dispute that? Or do you think only an ag school can advocate on behalf of farmers? That'd be pretty narrow-minded, wouldn't it?

You do know that I don't care, right? I was trying to make it obvious.

OK.

 

[Stewo]

OK.

A lot of people do. I used to ask "why?", but I've since realized that I don't actually care. In other words, I'm indifferent to it. It has no impact on my life.

BTW, what's with the pic? I can't see it very well.

Use your words.

[KnightHawk9]

Hayden certainly understood marketing, didn't he?

 

[HawkeyeShane]

I can't begin to describe the pain in my heart every time I see a Clone fan call Iowa the "Hoks"...it's hurtful and quite possibly the most devious form of a lack of respect in the history of this rivalry...Tito, get me a tissue...

Well played, Mauerses...
