I need context.

Those are Minnesota fans at a game vs Purdue, which is in Indiana, not Iowa.

What am I missing?

It doesn’t matter who they’re playing. They still hate Iowa.

So it's like an LSU v UGA game where everyone has a "fk Bama" flag. I get that.

Geaux Tigers!

Yep, Minnesota and Iowa are two vertices on the Quadrangle of Hate. (The other two are Wisconsin and Nebraska, but everyone has their own anti-preferences)

Gophers fan here. The “Who hates Iowa? WE hate Iowa!” chant gets used anytime, anywhere. We just really hate Iowa (but not more than we hate Wisconsin).

I can confirm. In fact at the end someone usually goes "and God hates Wisconsin".

I’m guessing it’s because Iowa has beaten Minnesota every year since 2015 (I think?) and they’re salty about it.

Nah, it’s a running joke in the Great Plains/Midwest to hate Iowa.

Nah, we chanted it at every game back when I was in school there in 2013

Really? That's hilarious (Hawkeye here). We never had issues with Minnesota I think, but Illinois on the other hand. . .

I guess the guy thought Purdue was in Iowa? I'm also confused.

Iowa is one of their rivals they play every year.
