We are now officially Hawkeyes.
I should say that I am officially a
Hawkeye. Having grown up in the
lovely state of Illinois, I have always
been anti Iowa. Then I moved to
Waterloo six years ago and started
to get swept up into the college
sports frenzy(mostly football & basketball)
here in Iowa. For the first time ever I found
myself watching college basketball on television & I
watched with the rest of the country as the UNI Panthers made history last year. Then
I started watching college football on Saturday afternoons & became a crazy yelling fan as the
Hawkeyes played one of their best seasons ever(nobody wants to talk about this years team!).
So now I find myself in a city that LOVES the Iowa Hawkeyes. Almost everywhere you go here you see the above image or better yet you see Herky dressed in some sort of costume! I think that I will soon be one of those people who has a Hawkeye flag to fly on game days and will be hosting friends at a tailgate style party on my deck! Because whether I like it or not, we are now offically Hawkeyes:)
