Brief question here people: As you know, football season starts today (!!!!!), and my cubicle is devoid of any sort of Iowa paraphrenalia. I've just never been a "decorator" type. But there are people, multiple, with "Beat Iowa" things in those Cylcone McDonalds colors. Iowa is underrepresented as the dominant team in the state. This aggression will not stand, man.
I can't get a team poster by tomorrow, I don't think, and buttons are, uh, not how I roll. Anybody have any good Iowa-themed office decorations they use, or recommendations? What's the weirdest team-specific cubicle candy you've ever seen, either in a store or in person? Lemme know.
Also, long feverdream article coming this afternoon.

I printed out the alumin association
Chicago Hawkeye mini-posters from last year and laminated them. They make me happy.

For my money
you can’t do better than white pants and leaf billed-hat of the “Hayden Herky” ornament. I find it the perfect combination of subtle and ridiculous.

I planted a block of seed corn in my cubicle
Looks nice – almsot elephant’s eye height. It was a bitch to detassle though.
Also, I have a small Iowa FB schedule I made in Excel tacked to my cubicle wall. That’s all I have goin’ on right now.

Simple is usually better
I have a tigerhawk background on my computer, and my screensaver is a slideshow of great Iowa moments from the past.
Although going with a F#CK STATE banner might work as well, if you’re not into the whole subtlety thing.

I have Jim Walden
in my cube as a man Friday / personal slave. He wears a Chuck Long jersey, coaches shorts (unfortunately), and sings a medley of the 1. Iowa Fight Song 2. IHTINB 3. a lenghty apology for offending Hayden, to the tune of “The Pretender” by the FF. When not refilling my coffee mug or washing my car, he serves as a footstool. Comes with mute function. I think I saw the Jim Criner model on sale at the Hawk Shop.

Go one step further
Instead of just having the usual pro-hawk football piece of flare, why not act as if you’re so into it by putting up something on the new RESPECT initiative. They’ll be blown away by how much of a fan you are: http://respect.uiowa.edu/downloads/football_program.pdf

My take
By the way, the new RESPECT thing is not only gay, but a sad try at appearing sorry for the whole investigation thingy.

You know what brings respect?
Not stinking up the field with the 109th ranked offense in the NCAA while filling up the IC police blotter. Might I suggest that this goes both ways. Me, I feel perfectly justified drinking past my limit and swearing at small children. That’s the amount of respect they gave us, I’m just passing it along.

You should get some of that "Hawkeye Gold" soda they used to sell.
Drink that shit all day man. Display your can proudly. Sure it (1) no doubt tastes like battery acid, (2) will destroy your teeth and make you look like a meth addict, and (3) will make you fatter than Jared Lorenzen, but, everyone will know where you stand. Plus, you’ll stay adequately caffeinated to get through your day.
Seriously, anyone else remember that stuff? I think the last time I saw it was probably 1982.
