cyclones vs hawkeyes

Rivalries always tend to bring out the idiots or the worst of otherwise normal people. Add in the anonymous nature of message boards and you get some classic moments. These can usually be summed up in a few standard arguments that are repeated ad nauseum year after year. Here's the rundown on a few of these and how they are playing out this year.



Rip on the other teams arena
Cy: Did you hear what they said about Hilton during the Virginia game? Carver-Hawkeye is a tomb compared to it.
Herky: Yeah, well we have legendary Kinnick stadium and Jack Trice is empty.
Cy: This is basketball why are you talking football?
Herky: Well, we kicked your ass in football.


Rip on the other team's uniforms
Herky: ISU looks like ketchup and mustard out there.
Cy: Black and gold look like crap too.

Herky: ISU stole our gold uniforms.
Cy: You're an idiot. We've had gold uniforms for years.

Rip on the other team's fans
Cy: Iowa's fans are all 80 years old and wearing the same polyester jacket they bought before the 1980 Rose Bowl.
Herky: Your fans are hicks/ISU girls are ugly/You don't have any fans.

Rip on idiots that think their players are better
Herky: Pierce and Horner are better than Stinson and Blalock.
Cy: You're an idiot. Remember when Iowa always had a player better than an ISU superstar? How many of them are playing in the NBA?
Herky: ISU might have one player that would start for Iowa.
Cy: Seriously, you're an idiot.

Rip on stereotypes
Herky: You go to a cow college. Moo U.
Cy: What a typical arrogant Hawkeye jackass.
Herky: There's nothing to do in Lames.
Cy: Yeah, we really miss out on smoking all that dope and playing hacky sack on the Ped Mall. Time to cut your dreadlocks, hippie.
Herky: Shut up, hick. I think there are some fat girls on campus that need some loving.
Cy: Hey, I'm pretty sure your dad wants you take his Lexus back to Chicago this weekend.
