I've run into more than a couple of them for each of the Big Ten teams that visit Kinnick, and I've seen some of my fellow Iowa fans act just a rudely.<br /><br />Every team has them. It's just that not every team sticks you with a 55-0 loss on Senior Day. That had to have hurt...<br /><br />College rivalries are the best in sports. And you will not find better examples of this than in the Big Ten, where we love to hate each other but also support even our rivals against outside foes. Case in point- a Georgia fan trying to get Iowa fans to vote for their mascot over Goldie on the rivals.com website. Goldie was instantly defended and we voted for him nearly to a man until he won the challege.<br /><br />Yeah, you should hate us Iowans. Not because of a few classless fans you want to focus on, but because we've had our way with your team over and over.

That and WIN FIGHT TRY GO GOPHERS! It's not much, but it's enough.<br /><br />Oh and your link from the Strib didn't work. If it had to do with the 55-0 loss, Brewster probably had it pulled from the website immediately. If there's no record of it in the state media, then it didn't happen, you hear me? It didn't happen!<br /><br />Twin Cities Hawk and others: mea culpa. I am obviously still upset and frustrated with the 55-0 loss and saw Iowa fans in not the best light, and I was in the worst mood possible. I took it too far with the some of the comments like "d-bag and a**hole", so I apologize for that.

I can't decide whether they were a-holes or d-bags, but I think the answer is yes."<br /><br />Here's my experience last year with you people. After we went up 13-0, the four of us Hawkeye fans sitting among a throng of you people started cheering for our team. One fat d-bag in front decided it would be a great time to pick a fight with us - because we were, you know cheering. Seeing that his friends had quickly abandoned his idea of helping him fight four well-built and younger guys, he came to his senses after being told how far up his ass his hand he was pointing towards us was going to go. Of course, as we thought, by the end of the game this guy was buying us beers and and acting like we were his long-lost friends. <br /><br />So, what you see here is that I could paint the broad brush across your fanbase and call every one of you arrogant, mouthy d-bags and a-holes too but I realize Mr. Talks Too Much doesn't represent all of you people. So I would kindly like to ask you to use some of that so-called Minnesota Nice when judging us dumb hicks in Iowa who has never seen things like a lightbulb and gas-running engines.
