What if I am Hawkeye fan and go to school at UNI?

I'm lifelong Hawk but what would you do if you go to school at ISU or UNI?

Then you would be like the majority. I lived with 4 other guys off campus at UNI and we were all Iowa fans.

Don't pick a school based on who you root for. You can still root for the Hawks anywhere.

Obviously you need to turn in your fan card. The receptionist will validate your parking. Thank you for your time

I had to make that choice (ISU) in college. I went out of state to get my degree area. I just couldn't do it. UNI, not a big deal. Growing up near Iowa City I could only see Black and Gold, but they didn't have the degree program. Iowa State was who you hated. Not sure younger people today and KF understand that.

Doesn't matter where your school is your fandom lasts a lifetime where ever you go. Ex. look how many cyfans are Gilbert high school students.

I graduated from UNI. I had Iowa student season tickets and made the drive to Iowa City every Friday. Its not that far at all. Sat with the Iowa students during the games, partied with the Iowa students...most of the guys I tailgated every weekend with didn't even realize I went to UNI. I don't think its a big deal at all

Went to UNI and I've always been an Iowa fan. You'll run into a lot of people who do/did the same thing. Not a big deal at all.

 

[ISUhawk]

I went to ISU for my engineering degree and it was worth it. Had guest Iowa student tix. I love Iowa State University but hate the Cyclones. Choose your school based on the academics in the department you are studying. Engineering, go to ISU, if business, go to Iowa.

Always been a Hawk fan, but I went to a DIII college in western Iowa because I wanted to play basketball and I wasn't nearly good enough for D1. Hell, I probably wasn't good enough for DIII either, but they took me anyway.

It makes you a tavern hawk or purple hawk. Either way you aren't a true fan (according to Cyclone fans).

Awesome! I was trying to get a lead part in Broadway but the director said I need to be 6'11" to get it. What a bummer.

I honestly can't believe there aren't clone fans drooling over this thread yet with #tavernhok. Most people who went to smaller schools to play sports (myself included) cheer for the D1 team they grew up rooting for. I have been a Hawk fan my entire life. That wasn't going to change no matter where I went to school. The fact that clone fans make fun of us for that is dumb.

If you want to avoid being confrontational at events in Ames by not wearing cardinal and gold, you should get a shirt that emphasizes your college (like the School of Engineering).

 

[VAHawkFan]

Hawk fan attending ISU. No big deal. Lot's of students wear Hawkeye gear around campus...just as I'm sure some U of I students sport ISU or UNI gear. I'll be sure to update this thread if a brawl ever breaks out over team loyalties.

Good Idea! I'm in engineering and I can try to find something like that. I can get a shirt that says,
