Yesterday cemented it for me.
Grew up hating them. Chris Street's death started to change my mind.
As I previously posted, I attended a cousin's surprise 60th birthday party in Malcom. After the game ended, I was talking to one of his niece's. She asked me "You know why I'm a hawkeye fan?" I had no idea, but no one in the family came close to going to college, let alone Iowa. "When I was little, I had a bad stutter. I went there for therapy, and they FIXED me!"
That hit me hard. Given my inability to control my emotions as I get older (everything seems yo make me tear up), I'm surprised I held it together. I told her "The next time I see that they win, I'm gonna smile, because I know it makes you happy."
I can't hate them any more.
Except for wrestling. @#$% them, @#$% their team, @#$% their psycho fans.
One last thing: Shout out to the Pour House Bar and Grill in Malcom. Cyclone fan owner. Recently remodeled. Watched the first half there. Full of hawk fans, but she was throwing out the hawkeye jokes at them the whole time!
