Panther Fans Demographics Question

Re: Panther Fans Demographics Question

Dual ISU/UNI fan here. I grew up in Ames going to basketball games at Hilton and my dad taught there for a long time. Went to school at UNI and got my bachelor's in '97. Don't have much love or even like for the Hawks personally, but I don't necessarily hate them the way a lot of Cyclone fans do.

This being said, I am irritated with ISU fans who now hate UNI for no better reason than jealousy. Apparently they don't see the irony in looking down their noses and being so dismissive of UNI when a lot of Hawk fans do THE EXACT SAME THING to Iowa State.

Making fun of farms is dumb. Farms are the backbone of society.
No farms = no food. No food = no life.

Iowa farms contribute much to the world.
Just what does Nevada contribute to the world?

UNI grad. I root for UNI first and foremost. I root for State when they are playing anyone but UNI. I am united with a lot of my friends in our common hatred of everything that is, or has to do with the University of Arrogant Fandom in Iowa City.

I personally like ISU fans better, but IC is so much more fun to go out in.. or at least in my experiences.... still doesn't compare to CF

Of course IC is a lot more fun to go out in, but you always spend soo much money and get raped with cover charges. You can have just as much fun in CF or Ames, with less money, as long as you know what bars to go to, etc.

I also dislike Iowa. Im a big UNI fan and i'll root for state anytime they aren't playing UNI. Iowa fans are just too cocky for me.

i disagree, you can have more fan in a bar in a town of 18 people than in Ames. many people have agreed with this statement when we joke around about it, well i guess it really isnt joking around

Re: Panther Fans Demographics Question

I can't stand Iowa, and don't remember the last time I cheer for them. Maybe if they were playing Notre Dame I would pull for them....maybe.


Iowa State is a meh for me. I don't care if they suck or if they are good. I don't cheer for them, don't really cheer against them

That's funny because it seems like most UNI students will flood to Ames or IC for the weekend. I've partied a lot in all three towns and in order of most fun to least it goes: IC, Ames, CF.
The only fun weekend I had in CF was during the homecoming one year, other than that it was just a few bars next to each other.
IC is always crowded and fun. Expensive with long lines at every bar, and cover.
Ames is usually a good time, especially on game weekends, holidays, and veishea. They rarely charge cover, and if they do its not much, and the lines and bars aren't massively crowded to the point where going to the bathroom and getting a drink are impossible.

Depends on what kind of fun you are looking for.


If you are looking to stand outside of a bar for a half hour waiting to get in, then not being able to move once you get in...then yes Cedar Falls probably sucks to you.


However, if you just want to go out have some drinks with some friends and not be crowded then CF is probably the right place

And that even depends on where you like to go out.

Agreed. I love Peppers and Mulligans as a place to just go sit and enjoy a couple drinks with some of my buddies. However, others don't like either of those places and would rather go somewhere on Main.

Re: Panther Fans Demographics Question

For a situation like this (Iowa and Iowa State both sucking) the state is for the most part rallied around UNI. All three state schools made the women's tournament so not the story there.

Re: Panther Fans Demographics Question

Do Iowa and Iowa St. fans support your program?

Does the whole state rally around UNI? Or are you the red-headed step child of Iowa?

Who are Iowa and Iowa St?

UNI students will go to IC for a weekend yes. However the only time I ever hear of UNI students going to Ames is for Veisha. Ive noticed lately though that the weekends are getting busier and more students are staying in town now than they did in the past. IC is a good time to party not going to lie, thats why they are like the 12th best party school according to Princeton or whatever review puts that stat out
