My daughter (no pics for pervs) was invited to an ISU Athletic Department tailgate/whatever before last year’s game in Ames. Her best friend was active as a player/scholar for her sport at ISU, so she was invited to come back - with guest - for the game day festivities. Her old coach told her that my daughter was welcome as a Texas fan, but not if she wore Texas gear. My daughter was like, “WTF, people in the Texas AD would welcome you with open arms if you came to Texas activities wearing your ISU stuff.”
Her friend does have a college scrapbook with a pic of her snuggling up to Andrew Beck at some B12 student scholar get together. /csb
All that being said, I spend quite a bit of time in Iowa (like right now) visiting family, and I’ve never had someone get nasty to me with my Texas threads, UT-themed license plate, etc. Neither have my family members for that matter. I think of ISU fans like I do Arkansas and OU fans… a step above aggy, but lower your expectations during game week.
