Hawkeye football is knowing at the tender age of 5 that the
Cyclones are vicious evil-doers to be hated, but having no idea
why.
Hawkeye football is a guy like Dallas Clark, who walks onto the team, 3 years later is a star, leaves a year early to play in the NFL, but was SO DAMN NICE that nobody can begrudge him for it.
Hawkeye football is having one of your starting offensive
lineman graduate to go to med school!
Hawkeye football is the little black and gold flags waving off
of every car antennae caravaning up and down I-80 and I-35
every Saturday on their way to Iowa City.
Hawkeye football is the bricks of Kinnick and the grass on the
field with the smell in the air of some kind of meat barbecuing
that will soon be put on a stick and sold to a tanked undergrad
who can no longer speak as they are hoarse from screaming from the front row of the student section.
Hawkeye football is 12 weeks of getting up at 6 a.m. on
Saturday mornings, drinking bloody marys and eating a bowl of
chili on Melrose before the sun comes up.
Hawkeye football is sitting in Kinnick with your out of state
friend and have him turn to you and scream through the roar of
the crowd, "I've never seen anything like this before ... it's
amazing."
No, it's Iowa Hawkeye Football.
GO HAWKS!!!!!

A TRUE IOWAN
An Iowan was doing some shopping in downtown Des Moines. He looked up at the top of a tall building and discovered a man ready to jump...
"Stop," he yelled, "remember you're someone who has value!"
The man yelled back, "I just lost everything in the stock market!"
"But remember you're important to your wife," yelled the Iowan.
"She divorced me and took everything I had that was not in the stock market."
"Your children, remember your children," yelled the Iowan.
"They never call," said the man.
"Then your parents, remember your parents," yelled the Iowan.
"Dead as doornails," said the man.
"Then think of all the Hawkeye football games you will miss," yelled the Iowan.
The man shouted, "But, I'm a Cyclone Fan!"
The Iowan replied, "Jump, you dumb ass, JUMP!"
