I was reading an article in the NY Times on Rudy Giuliani kind of bumbling his way through western Iowa (he compared Iowa to Staten Island more than once  ) when I came across this paragraph: The conversation topics included why he was running for president, Iowa and, inevitably enough, sports. Mr. Giuliani was crestfallen to learn, from a table of schoolchildren, that baseball is not as popular in Iowa as it is in New York. He moved on to ask for an explanation of “how does it break down between Iowa and Iowa State,” as he tried to fathom the legendary rivalry between the two university football teams. That was all there was there but I'm not sure I've ever heard the rivalry called "legendary" by anyone outside of Iowa. Anyway, it's kind of an amusing article about a city boy trying to connect to rural voters.

At least he didn't compare western Iowa to Queens...  |

Iowa=Harlem  |
Some People see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not? When I took this job I said why not Iowa State? Why not winning? Why not bowl games? Why not sell outs? Why not national respect? Why not us? Why not here? Why not the cyclone family? | |
