    UNI grad, married to an ISU grad- daughter to U of I grads.... tough decision. I live just outside of Des Moines and always have, save for my four years in Cedar Falls.

    I'm a transplant too. Omaha to Marshalltown, and I went to school in Sioux City for a few years. I've found that the "correct" team depends largely on where I am and who I'm with. :tongue:

    Hey everyone. I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, went to Wartburg in Waverly for a year and then transferred to St. Ambrose in Davenport. After I graduated, I moved back to Cedar Rapids. I would have to say ISU but only for when they play U of I. Otherwise, I don't really care because I just cheer for an Iowa team.

    I'm living in Mount Vernon, but it's tricky here. So close to Iowa City you are forced to be a Hawkeye fan. We're a split home with both my husband and I graduating from ISU and my husband earning his master's from Iowa as well. We root for both or whomever is winning at the time. Looking forward to encouraging each of you.

    I was born in NE Iowa and now live in Cedar Rapids. I consider them all to be my teams...except when they play the Hawks

    Hi all! I am a UNI Grad and still live in Cedar Falls. We are Panther fans, especially during basketball season. We live just down from the Dome so we walk to a lot of games. But my husband and I are die hard Hawk fans! Our girls are so brain washed :smile:

    I was up early this morning for a worktout but my husband waited for it to warm up a bit and hit a 5 mile run this afternoon. Kind of jealous, it is so nice out today!

    :smile: Hi! I'm new to MFP but not to IA - lived here most of my life! Not really into sports, but 2 children attended ISU, so I guess, GO CLONES!

    Born and raised in Iowa, smallish town of Manchester (aka mantown)
    I'm 25, live in the country on a acreage, but not a farm, with my daughter who is 5. Divorced, amicably, and happier for it (that goes for everyone)
    I Heart Iowa HAWKEYES!
    Went to school at Iowa Wesleyan, didn't graduate, then to NICC, didn't graduate, now I run an auto business (sorta) for my dad. I also write poems, I have a few in the teenage soup books from years ago. Now I'm starting a novel, was to be released in May, editor pushed it back to August.
    I got a bf who just (as in today) got back from Afghan. I LOVE HIM TO DEATH. We've been friends since we were 8, just started dating a year ago :)

    Yep that pretty much does it!
    Friend me!

    Hello all! First off Go HAWKS! And second I was raised in a little town called Brooklyn (right in the middle of Coralville and DSM) I have lived in quite a few places in Iowa, Cedar Rapids, Belle Plaine, Victor, Montezuma and Peru Iowa. I currently live back in Brooklyn and have my own Massage Therapy practice in Grinnell.

    Hi everyone! I have lived my entire life in rural Iowa near the small (pop.3000) town of Tipton. It is centered between Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and the Quad Cities. Ever hear of it? I will root for any Iowa team when they aren't playing the Hawks, but I would have to say I bleed black & gold! Glad to be a part of MFP, my profile says I joined in 2007, but I don't remember being a member then. Nevertheless, I rejoined in April 2012. Hope to hear more from all you Iowanites!

    Hi everyone. I am new to the group and was wondering if there is anyone in the waterloo or independence area that wants an exercise buddy? Looking to start going to the gym but don't really want to go by myself :)

    Although I got my masters at UI, I am totally NOT in to team sports. GO DEBATE CLUBS! LIBRARY GROUPS! Sorry, guess what I am trying to say is that my interests are more intellectual/ academic. I live in Wellman, near Iowa City. I have been here ten years, before that three in Iowa City. My grandparents called Iowa City home from 1927, so that is how I claim Iowa roots. Both my parents, my aunt and uncle, and my brother are all UI alum too. Grandfather was a music professor. My dad was ordained in to the Episcopal ministry at Trinity church in Iowa City. His first parish was in Sioux City. I had a job for eight years that took me all over the state, so I know many of the towns fairly well. So while you are all going tailgating and going to games, I will just sit here and read a book!
