I was probably the first one to comment on that picture. Got a call from Brandon the Store Director, he was very apologeitic and said he is a Hawk fan and did't like the comment either.
Like how they have my facebook page posted over on cyclonefanatic saying I am Butt Hurt! HA
I thought it was clever if anyone else said it but as a businessman I don't think that is the way to conduct Business and the Store Director agreed.

no problem with the joke at all, just the source that it came from a business. If it was a neighbor, co-worker, friend, family I would have laughed and enjoyed it. Just not a place looking for my business. my opinion

I'm not sure people were "offended" so much as couldn't believe how stupid the guy/kid would be to put that on a company business page. But that is the clone way...as many have pointed out, it's not much of a surprise.

Right... I like the Hoiburger idea. That makes sense... but for a local business to take it a step further by taking a potshot at another local fan base is pretty dumb. Now I thought it was kinda funny, but it was also a pretty stupid move. They probably should have just left it at the Hoiburger part.
It's a stupid reason for people to boycott a business, but there are plenty of stupid people out there (just take one look at CyFan to confirm that). I guarantee you some folks won't go in there anymore because of something so petty. Which is what makes it a stupid move by whomever made this decision. You have to anticipate the way you're joke is going to come across. I bet the guy who pulled this stunt didn't make his manager very happy.

This, I thought it was funny too and the Hoiburger idea was good marketing! the pot shot from a business is what I called out. You are right, the manager was not happy with the Cyclone social media kid that put it on there.
Boycotting is dumb, that is something the Clones do. I am stopping there after work to get some meat to smoke this weekend matter of fact

This is quintessential clone. Even in what could have been a clever way to celebrate their "win"... they continue to define themselves... through IOWA. They could run all the way to the National Championship, and rather than celebrate like crazy among themselves... there would be a big chunk of clone nation pointing their fingers this direction.
Some things never change.

It's Hy-Vee, they are beyond the "looking for your business" stage.

I'm pretty sure HyVee is doing just fine..even if a couple of people decide not to shop there over a joke about a hamburger..that company is making $$$$$. So this whole thing is really dumb and the manager who posted it should not be fired..probably just reminded to think next time

You can't watch 30 minutes of TV without being bombarded with the Hoiburger at Applebee's. If that doesn't tork you off good, I don't think anything will. Oh, and no Fran-Tastic Burger yet......

I feel like there's a few McCabe jokes to be made here.

Applebees could model their entire menu off of the Hawkeyes and I still wouldn't eat that **** food.
I wouldn't make McCabe jokes if I were you. He will find you, and he doesn't have a sense of humor.
