not to offend anyone or any fan base.............  just a story of a delusional Hawkeye fan. (all fan bases have them)

playing men's league golf match last night - my partner, a hawkeye fan, states he's going to Ames Saturday to attend the game with his son, an ISU freshman.  and that, yes, Dad will be wearing Cyclone colors for his son.

both opponents are Hawk fans.  One of them, the delusional partner, an otherwise great guy that I like, states that this is the first time EVER that Iowa State has been favored by the vegas line.  I try to correct him.  He tells me that we've only had betting lines for 10 or 20 years.  He then states that the first football game between the two schools was played in 1978.  I tried to correct him on that.

As a Husker fan with a crap team for the past decade, I decided just to drop the subject.

The guy is intelligent, about my age, and an all around good guy.

Ha, the guy reminds me of my dad. I feel like I'm constantly telling him, "ya know, we have the internet now. Most things are researchable. Stop trying to give me information based on shit you hear from the country club where everyone is yapping out their ass."

Anyway, how'd you shoot? I got a new putter yesterday and played like total crap. 20 putts! (9 holes). Broke even on $ though.

Screw that.

If my son goes to IU [spit!] or, gawd forbid, Notre Dame [vomit], and I go to a game between either school and Purdue, I'll be fully decked out in the Old Gold and Black.

He may be my son, but I loved Purdue first.

agreed - my Hawkeye league partner isn't real bright

I thought you'd never ask!!!

I actually shot my best round in league play in two or 3 seasons - a smooth 39 - a double, a single, and 7 pars
I didn't make a putt outside 5 feet, they had just aerated the greens and poured sand on them - very bumpy and slow

The craziest year was probably 2007, when Iowa State lost to Northern Iowa, but then they beat Iowa the following week.

Lol, ESPN GameDay, which is in Ames, Iowa today for the Iowa-Iowa State game,  actually built a fake cornfield for the ISU mascot to run out of to start the show.

Everybody had fun with it.  Then they had a bunch of kids run out if the cornfield too.

Wow, this is the first time Iowa and ISU have ever both been ranked for this game?  That shows how bad ISU has been.  Yeeesh.

Yeah, which is why a lot of us scoffed when it was suggested that the B1G should pick up ISU because they're "good at football"... Yeah, they've been good for about a minute. Historically, they're about as bad as Indiana.
