You know, up until a few years ago, if anyone had ever told me that I
would
be rooting for Oklahoma in any sport, I would have actively tried to
have
them committed. Now that I've been outed as a former Iowan, you
understand
why.--REC

Royce,

Once an Iowan, always an Iowan. The Hawkeyes are not that bad either.
the were contenders and I thought they were going to the Rose Bowl
last year.

Yeah, the one year we don't play OSU, they gotta beat Michigan! LOL

I had second thoughts about saying 'former' Iowan after I hit the 'send'
button. Of course I still consider myself an Iowan, even though I haven't
lived there for a couple decades (I left in '89). Harder now that folks are
gone.

It's funny though. When I was in Las Vegas, I considered myself a 'Nevada
Resident.' Here, I consider myself a 'Tulsan,' 'cause there's no way I'm an
OKie (that seems a birthright, like Iowan). But I did actually find myself
rooting for OU over ISU, although I wanted ISU to do well. Must be that
Iowa/Iowa State mentality, eh?

The wife went to OU, so I gotta be careful. LOL! But I can still root
against OSU (Oklahoma State) without pause or recriminations.
