Some people will go to any lengths to get ahead in the Cy-Hawk rivalry. Take, for example, Ann Sampson, retired major in the U.S. Army Reserves and owner of Scott County Animal Hospital. The Cyclone grew up in a family of University of Iowa fans but she finally found a way to make her Hawkeye-loving youngest brother, Joel Sampson, carry a little bit of Cyclone around with him every day for the rest of his life – she donated one of her kidneys to him the week of the big Iowa State/Iowa football game.
