He is going as a guest of the Iowa State President.
sigh, well now my football Saturday turns into a campaign trail.

Trump going to cy-hawk game

Maybe this is more common than I realize but I hate mucking up college football with political agendas
Five or seven years ago, I was walking from my parking spot near the Wig & Pen. When I got to the parking lot on the hill before you get to Carver, my path intersected that of Senator Grassley. I was toting my case of beer to a friend's tailgate. We had a nice little conversation, but I avoided anything that political. The Senator was not in either school's colors, which I offered my ISU hat to help him out. He quickly responded that he was a Panther fan. I supposed he had used that one a hundred times at CyHawk events. Anyway, he immediately started complimenting the Iowa State volleyball team and with a little more knowledge than one would have thought. UNI had a great volleyball team that often made the NCAA tournament. ISU had caught up to them and must have beat them that year. It gave a little more credibility to his fandom, unless he just happened to have been there when they played.
But despite that story, I hate seeing out of state politicians trying to capitalize on these events.
Newton's Fifth Law: Clowns attract each other.
I'll be wearing my Make America Great Again trucker hat. Yes.
I really hope this isn't enough to ruin a game for you. It's not like he's going to your tailgate, he's not taking your seat dude, you don't have to buy him a beer. Cheer up folks
If he actually wanted to secure the most votes, he should probably be wearing black and gold, basically the only ISU fans on the planet are in central/western Iowa. Although a majority of ISU fans are already republican I would imagine, mainly rural/conservative fan base compared with Iowa
Trump is great, I cannot wait to see what he says.
Cool. Don't like any of the democrats, and Carson is the only other one from the pubs that I like. I'm interested in what he has to say.
of course it doesn't ruin the game for me. I never said it did. Just because I'm not a fan of it doesn't mean it "ruins" something for me. And if I see one of them I'll be sure to give them a beer
OVER THE LINE!!!
Sorry, was compelled to respond....... I really don't care. Hey why is this on the football board anyways? Isn't everyone getting their fill on the Off-Topic board?
Tackling and blocking dummies during pre-game drills? Seems like a perfect way to strut their stuff...last one standing type of debate
This bodes well for the Hawks. Every time ISU gets the "big stage" they seem to pee down their legs.

Taking my 9 year old who hasn't been there since 2017 so he doesn't really remember it. Like going to the circus.
You're interested in hearing what Trump has to say? You haven't heard enough bullshit?
Hope you guys have a great time. Nothing sounds better than taking your kid to a game.
Bingo. Kirk saw that question coming a mile away. Great answer.
He is looking forward to it.
He might have been 8 years ago when he posted that…
Grassley is at many UNI events throughout the years, but generally just acts as any other UNI fan while at the games. The governors of Nebraska and Iowa are often at the Heros Game, but generally it's about the ceremony at halftime.
I really hate the forced interjection of politics in sports here in Iowa. We get enough of it otherwise, just let us enjoy sports in non-partisan peace.

Nothing beats Carly Fiorina saying she was rooting for the Hawks vs her alma mater Stanford, trying to pander to Iowans before the caucuses. She was mocked so much she had to come up with a bullshit excuse. Politicians trying to talk sports will always be funny.
hope that means we go 12-O again
How the hell do you guys manage to find these ancient threads? And why do you decide to revive them?
Iowa is America's team after all, so it makes sense.
