Look, you're one of the better Iowa fans that posts on this site, but the above statement is just as true. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I guess if the cause of all the BIG obsession is because of Iowa, isn't that a round-about way of obsessing over Iowa? Afterall, why aren't there as many SEC, Pac12, Big East, ACC hate threads? In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the number of BIG related threads outnumber the total topics of all the other BCS conferences combined.

His point is that all but Nebby, ISU and Minnesota don't give a **** about Iowa anymore than they do about any other team.

Big 10 is doing well in the bowl games again, 2-6 and counting down.

You might want to check the definition of ***-kicking. Losing by one score with the chance to tie/win because you have last possession is the antithesis of such a statement.

B1G is closer?

PLEASE stop using "B1G"... another annoying thing about the conference

I think most of the Big 10 hate has nothing to do with Iowa. I hate the SEC, but couldn't care about a single school in the league.

Look around the country. Most people outside of Big 10 country hate the Big 10. The reason is that the Big 10 has a collective arrogance about its on-field performance that is completely contradicted by what actually happens on the field.

The Big 10 is treated is an elite league when in reality it often comes in anywhere between 4-6 amongst the BCS leagues. However, due to having several giant universities in high population areas, it gets a ton of exposure and media love.

It really has very little to do with Iowa.

Hawk fan that lives on CF discussing said site's obsession with Hawks? Did I get this straight?

**UNIGuy4Cy** · 01-02-2012, 08:01 PM

One thing I continue to realize is that the Big 10 and the Pac 12 may have their own networks but their product sucks *** at football.

Have they done that this year? MSU beat the loser of the SEC championship. UW gave Oregon everything they want with so much less speed. Their junk teams lost but we got beat by Rutgers so I don't see the difference there.

Wouldnt be an 'obsession over iowa' (but there you go with another 'iowa state fans are obsessed with iowa' BS), but their fans spouting the same "big10 is so awesome" crap certainly has to contribute to them being more hated around here.

I hate the media's obsession with the SEC too, but at least the SEC mostly backs up their arrogance.
