Myself- Iowa
Wife- Iowa
Parents- Iowa
Sister- Iowa
Pet- Iowa
Inlaws dads side- All Iowa
Inlaws Moms Side- All Iowa State (Annoying Clone fans too) Know little about the sport and seem to think they are a national power year in and year out. Worse than my ex-fiances family and they were all Illinois fans!

Why waste time with anyone but a Hawk fan. ALL family members must, and want, to be Hawk fans.
Father is isu grad so he gets an exception, but still watches more Hawk games than clowns (oops, they are hardly on tv) anyhow...by choice. My mother is tormetted by the fact she has 3 kids with Iowa degrees, but supports him in sympathy. Though, she usually sides with whoever has the better tailgates and coldest beer bongs!
Wife was a Colorado Univ fan, but I straightened her out long ago, since she had on an Iowa sweatshirt the day we met. (no joke...Tell Klein at ISU, that they aren't the only school that has students walking around campus with Hawkeye clothing on- since he's so jelly! Seems it was a problem at CU too!)
Sister, has a son on UNI team this fall, so she is torn, but he still has Hawk posters up in his bedroom back home, so...?

Most of my family are Iowa fans, and that includes cousins, etc. My brother is the lone exception as an ISU fan, since he was an ISU grad.
I think most people in my family root for ISU though when they aren't playing Iowa.
