If you live in LeMars, you can't shake one persistent thought looping through your head, to wit: "how the hell did I end up living in LeMars, Iowa?"
Actually, that is pretty strong Cyclone country up there from Le Mars going east.
Sioux City - now that is a test tube of fan bases of regional teams. It may be ground zero in the Hawkeye vs. Husker border war, strong support for both teams.. ..way too many old timers who grew up watching Jerry Tagge and Johnny Rogers on KCAU in the early 70s then brainwashed their kids and grandkids under Osborn. The dormant Iowa fan base came alive and grew when Hayden Fry was hired, now proudly flying the flag..... a solid minority of ISU grads and fans, and your transplanted Minnesota fans who huddle to talk hockey while watching the Gophers lose another game.
