    Dear Hawkeyes fans

    this is what I was hoping for. Having lived my first 40+ years in Iowa and then 4-5 years in MS, I have said ever since that Iowans and Mississippians are, at root, pretty much the same.....down to earth, hard working, humble and respectful.

    Brandon Walker's Apology about an hour ago

    Born and bred a Hawkeye fan. Moved to Jackson, MS for work about 6 years ago. Friends I made there were pretty much all MSU fans, and after watching a game in Starkville my wife and I basically adopted MSU as our “second team”. Heck, had a houseful of Dawg fans stay at our house (in Tampa)...

    Brandon Walker's Apology about an hour ago

    Is there any way to find this and listen to it? Not the apology, but the original broadcast?

    Brandon Walker's Apology about an hour ago

    I give the guy props for manning up and apologizing, but really don’t see why he should have to. He basically said the same thing any team that loses to the Hawkeyes from outside the Big Tensays. What this guy said was exactly right, the part about he was speaking as a MSU fan TO other MSU...

    Insight to Iowans....

    As stated earlier, I've experienced tailgating at MSU. Don't take offense, but it isn't even close to the same experience as in Iowa City. The only other tailgating I've seen close was LSU when we played them in the Capital One Bowl back in the day.

    Insight to Iowans....

    "You can carry the kids" does not necessarily mean to physically lift them, I discovered during a really awkward conversation with my boss back in 2013. Attention to my fellow Yankees--- it simply means that it is kid-friendly, or you can bring the kids along with you. My boss kept talking...

    Insight to Iowans....

    Ummm.... quite a few people actually like to get to know folks from other fanbases, especially when the two teams have never played before. Not only that but to get a little good-humored jostling around going on is part of it. You say that we are "arrogant" for that? Hating everybody who...

    Colors? No. But yes, very common for those outside the State to mix up the two schools.

    Insight to Iowans....

    I think what is getting confused here is the likeness of the Universities as opposed to the fanbases: From the standpoint of the Universities, yes, Iowa would be more like Ole Miss (Liberal Arts based, Med School, Law School, etc. vs. agriculture, engineering, etc.). I don't see it in the...

    Insight to Iowans....

    Well, maybe ....... one way or the other, but I had it explained to me a bit differently. Either way, don't lump us in with east coast, west coast or Chicago. There are 2 very distinct "districts" in Iowa.... you have the Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Falls triangle that kinda leans white...

    Insight to Iowans....

    Just remember that the message board crowd (I know mainly the Rivals one) are very indicative of the majority of Hawkeye fans, just like any other fanbase really. You DO, indeed, have those that for some reason believe that because we win more than we lose, that we should be considered among...
