The way I've read this is, some Iowa random shows up and posts "yay Hawkeyes" and is IMMEDIATELY pounced on by homers from Texas, USC, Oregon, and other places with "you don't really think your team has a chance, do you? DO YOU? lololololol, I just hope they make the NC game because they will get DESTROYED." This is before the person ever has a chance to respond with "yeah I know we've been getting lucky as hell - even our coach says we're not that good. We just want to root for our team is all." It's mostly bitter homers of one-loss teams and of course the real problem is the BCS and the lack of a playoff system, which in turn is projecting as hate towards luckbox homers.
I can remember maybe one Hawkeye homer trying to defend their ranking. Other than that it's 100% normal for people to come out of the woodwork when their team is doing well, regardless of sport.
EDIT: also, kkcountry is awesome for the most part imo. I like Arctic Knight a lot but don't know where he's coming from here.
