In Wisconsin I remember there was a place called Cuba City and they were the Cubans. Cuba City Cubans, always thought that was an interesting choice of a name.
Stupid name. Not because of any slaveholder, or because there’s nothing maverick-y about Marion, but because every time I hear the word now I think of...

Marion Monsters. They could do the zombie angle.
It would be funny to see that as a mascot running onto a football field.

My favorite Wisconsin one:
Ironically, Monroe is right across the border from Freeport, Illinois, so you could get a delicious Pretzel-Cheesemakers matchup someday. 😄
Isn't that where Sam Okey was from?In Wisconsin I remember there was a place called Cuba City and they were the Cubans. Cuba City Cubans, always thought that was an interesting choice of a name.
Or was he from Dickeyville or Cassville?
Or did he go to high school at Giant Six-Pack of Old Style High in La Crosse?

Think it was Dickeyville. Very close to Dubuque.
They had a grocery there called Dick’s Market and you could get a “Dick’s Insider” card to get sale prices. I am not making that up - always cracked me up.
Very, very occasionally. I know of one that was shot in SE Iowa about 5-7 years ago, I have actually seen the specimen, which was preserved via taxidermy and I think resides now in a public place in Van Buren County. I would say that one, or very few, pops up in Iowa every year or so.
It is thought that when they do make it here to Iowa that they have traveled here from Wisconsin or Minnesota, where there are places that they are fairly common.
They never had that logo when I was in the Metro area, but of course neither did K-State.Already taken by an adjacent school (with more Cougars) :
If you know, is KSU cool with it?
Apparently. They sure aren’t the U of I then. Hamilton High School in Hamilton, Michigan is the “Hawkeyes” (and black and gold) in honor of Iowa and the U of I came after them hard in the ‘90s for using the Tigerhawk. Apparently only City High gets to use it. Iowa is, of course, famously aggressive in defending its intellectual property (see the Southern Miss issue).
BTW, this is what the Hamilton Hawkeyes decided to change to (notice the Hawk’s head crest is an “H”)
