milehiiu Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Neighbor across the street. Who once played for UK. Put up a UK flag today. He's actually a pretty good guy. Still shoots hoops in his driveway, most every day. So........ I just ordered an IU flag to put up in my drive way. Should be here by the end of the week. Keep in mind. We both live in Colorado. HSN.... any other flag wars out there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 They no longer live there, but I once had a Michigan / Ohio State couple across the street from me. They hung both flags, which I always found funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely would not want to be in the house after a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Not a flag war but a good friend and neighbor is a Huge Alabama fan, he knows I’m a mild ND football fan. IU all the way during basketball season!! Anyway when the two teams met 3-4 years ago he invited me to watch the game. Knew it was a mismatch but I went anyway for a free meal! Turned out the entertainment value was better than the meal! All game long it was WE did this, WE are controlling this! It was if he thought he was playing! And to think he never went to Alabama, just as bad as the KU basketball fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason, why I only invite IU fans over to watch IU games. LOL. No seriously. Thanks also for being a great Hoosier Sports Nation member. And continue to stay safe.

Seeking6 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 My neighbor flies his ND flag out now on purpose because he found out I'm a Hurricanes fan. I'm not a flag guy but something is going to happen this fall. That's if ND proceeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After me. Even the UK guy. However.... when I saw his UK flag replacing his American flag today..... I just had to get an IU flag. Again he' a good guy. But something I felt I had to do. I will be flying my IU flag on and off. But nothing will ever get me from flying my most favorite flag most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I work with a Mexican American guy and his younger brother asked him about flying the Mexican flag solo. He told him it wasnt a good idea. He told me he couldn't really explain why very well so I explained flag etiquette and the reasons why it would offend people. Heck, it would offend me. American flag at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told him after all, without immigration, I wouldn't have a taqueria close by and he would have never had dirt pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as it is NEVER flown above our great AMERICAN flag. Suggest if he wants to fly a Mexican flag. Do It. So long as it below the great American flag. And this would hold true for any other person who would want to fly a flag in our great country... from a country they are from. Italy comes to mind.

IUFLA Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 If I flew an IU flag down here in Texas, they'd mistake it for OU and burn my house down... Invariably every time I wear my IU hat (like today) out someone says, "OU?!?" I've said before, "I know Is and Os are both vowels, but they look nothing alike." "Whud he say?"
