We played nice for a couple weeks but MSU fans hate everyone (especially me) so it's time for y'all to get on back to the corn fields and ****** midwestern weather.

Did you forget these ** ?

I'm pissed about the game but every Iowa fan I encountered in Tampa was a good fan of their school. They seemed a lot like us: passionate, but curteous, polite, gracious, good natured folks, etc. Had a lot of good conversations with them.

I also enjoyed the handful of Hawkeye fans that joined us the past few weeks here.

I was there with 5 family members. Every Hawkeye fan I talked to before the game was worried about hanging with us. We discussed our teams, our strong defenses, and our questionable offenses. We agreed that a lot of it came down to whose QB had a good day. Every Hawkeye fan I talked to afterward said that despite the mistakes it still looked like we had it and just let it get away. To a person, they were respectful of our school, team, and reputation.

Even with everything we did wrong, we were one play from winning. We had every opportunity but couldn't catch a pass when it mattered most. You can't expect to leave 14 points on the field and win what we expected to be a close game from the time the teams were announced. Our defense can't prevent our offense from fumbling, after all.

Still had a great time in Tampa. Love that part of Florida and stayed in Redington Beach with friends who live 2 blocks from the Gulf -- beautiful. Saw a postcard-worthy sunset on the water. Ate and drank copiously. Busch Gardens was a great time, really enjoyed the Famous Maroon Band there and at the game. Proud to be Bulldog. Wore maroon & white every day, including today driving back.

Meanwhile, the Golden Egg is still at home. Clanga.

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.

Hopefully you were drunk or high or something when you posted that.

That didn't work out so well

But I guess a "silver lining" is the board hasn't been this united since 2018.
