It seems some Iowa fans could be a little embarrassed to cheer for the Hawkeyes today, as they are going undercover in Ames. With FOX Big Noon Kickoff at the game, their social media team went into the thick of it with the fans and found some Iowa fans in Cyclones clothing.
Big Noon was able to find three Iowa fans wearing Iowa State gear in the crowd. The first guy shown seems like he is wearing the Cyclone gear for his girlfriend. The second Iowa fan said he lost a bet and, unfortunately, had to wear the Cyclone gear. Lastly, the final Iowa fan was completely upfront in saying his girlfriend told him to wear the Iowa State gear.
Enemy colors on game day??

Sure, everyone has worn the other team's gear every now and then, but typically not when that team is playing the team we cheer for. It is very interesting that these Iowa fans are wearing this gear during such a big rivalry game, the biggest rivalry for both of these teams.
This is the Cy-Hawk rivalry we are talking about, one that has a state trophy on the line. Iowa State is favored in this game, but there is history on the line here. With a win today, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz has the opportunity to be the winningest head coach in Big Ten history.
Ferentz has been coaching since 1979, and now in 2025, he is still doing it at a high level, and hopefully, those disguised Iowa fans can walk away proud in their gear after the Hawkeyes bring home and win over the ranked Cyclones.
