On the heels of The Wave, the Iowa Hawkeyes fan base is finally recognized by FanSided for something that we’ve known all along, Iowa Hawkeyes fans rock. We may not be the biggest fanbase in the nation (hello Notre Dame) nor are we consistently competing for national titles (like that university in Tuscaloosa), but that’s what makes us so incredible. Even when we get blown out by Michigan State, I wake up the next morning happy to be a Hawkeye fan.
We live and breath black and gold through the heartaches and the triumphs. Moreover, it’s a community, and a tight-knit one at that.
