Sydney Sweeney has become a viral sensation through her online presence, drawing massive attention without the need for a movie premiere. Recently, she posted pictures on Instagram wearing a wetsuit during a boat ride.
With a cheeky caption, “I think they call this a thirst trap,” the post quickly gained traction, accumulating over four million likes in just one day.
The photos showcased her fun side and emphasized her physique, leading to a light-hearted comparison on Twitter to the Iowa Hawkeyes football team.
“This is like Iowa getting an offense,” quipped a fan.
Struggles in Offensive Performance
The connection to the Hawkeyes arose from their lackluster offensive display last season, averaging a mere 15.4 points per game.
Despite their offensive challenges, the team achieved a commendable 10-4 record due to their robust defense. The analogy drawn between the buzz from Sweeney’s post and the inconsistent offensive showings of the Hawkeyes added an extra layer of humor to the viral moment.
While some social media users were surprised by the post’s rapid spread, it is evident that Sweeney maintains a strong engagement with her audience.
As the Hawkeyes gear up for the 2024 season opener against Illinois State on August 31, fans are optimistic about a more dynamic offensive performance from the team.
