I'm not a Hawkeye fan. My college sports interests are as follows:
1. Wisconsin (where I currently am a student).
2. Penn State (I was more or less born into a Penn State family, so I was taught early in life to love the blue and white).
3. Miami of Ohio (went to school there for 2 years before transferring, but still follow them--obviously I don't get to see their teams play much since they're in a mid-major conference, but I keep up with how their teams are doing).
In that order.
I will say this though. I like the Hawkeyes, just wouldn't call myself a fan of them. And I certainly don't root for them when they play against Wisconsin or Penn State.
But I did watch Iowa a couple times on tv, and the Hawkeyes do look very good this year. Their only loss is to #2 Texas, and Iowa played right with them until the last 10 minutes.
As for Wisconsin basketball, they are a young team this year and probably won't go anywhere near as far as they did during their improbable run last year. Only loss is to Wake Forest, but the Badgers haven't played anyone else who could have had a chance to beat them.
I'll leave out the details on the other two, because they never amount to much. I guess they both made the Sweet 16 once in recent years (Miami-Ohio with Wally Szczerbiak or however you spell it and Penn State the year they upset UNC), but I don't think we have to watch out for either of them this year.
