When I was with MSU football, we traveled to Iowa for a game.
At one point, I got separated from the group, (long story) but I found myself walking toward the stadium in my Spartan jersey. I was walking through a massive group of Iowa fans tailgating.
I’d been to Ohio State already, so I was mentally ready for all the horrible stuff I was about to experience.
Before I had got 100 feet in, people had given me pork chop sandwiches, chips, all kinds of stuff.
I ended up chatting with a bunch of them and they were just the best fan base ever. They loved Iowa football and were just so dang pleasant.
Eventually, I got back to the stadium and a couple hours later the game started.
I was curious as to what these sweet people would be like once the missile launched.
When you’re on the sideline in Iowa, you are right next to the fans. The distance between you and them is very small.
I’ll tell you what, They hurled some of the best and most creative verbal abuse I’ve ever heard in my life.
Absolutely first rate.
They will always be my favorite fan base in the Big Ten.

The cool thing about this photo is that 99% of buzzer-beater shots today show fans holding up their phones, recording the moment. But since everyone expected UConn to foul and stop the clock, no one had time to pull their phones out when the turnover happened. Just pure fandom.
