Can you even find Iowa City on a map?

EDIT: Do you even know what a map is?

Nice defelction. But I'd try to avoid insulting the intelligence of Iowa fans, when in fact Iowa is a more prestigious school than ISU.

You have academics, we have athletics. Fair enough

Correction; you have basketball.

And you have academics. Got it

True about the university, but not true about the fans. Most Hok fans in Iowa have never stepped foot on campus... Most ISU fans have actually attended ISU.

Well that's not true in my case as a UI alum. But that's the case at a lot of places. Most people in Iowa grow up de facto Iowa fans unless they have parents or ties to ISU but not everyone can or will go to school there.

Lot of butthurt hawk fans in thus thread. You lost. Get over it. You have a bowl game tomorrow. You should be chatting with Tennessee fans.

No it isn't. Bunch of Illinois rejects majoring in English or hippie studies.

Great things about living in California:
1. Perfect weather
2. Lack of ******* Iowa fans

With the occasional lawyer sprinkled in here and there.

Besides, ISU is just a bunch of pig-petting farming students majoring in 'Combining'.

Neither school really contributes much to society in general. Might as well just shut everything down with exception to the Cy-Hawk series.

Maybe to attend the renowned Iowa Writers Workshop... Illinois is more prestigious than Iowa, but yes, Iowa is more prestigious than Iowa State. You realize there are rankings for this right? It's not my opinion or hearsay, it's a matter of fact.

Rankings are a matter of fact?

Kind of like the best city to live in or the best basketball team?

Or do they just push the truth button when it comes to something important like college rankings?

Wait, Wait, I get it - it becomes matter of fact when they post it on the interweb?

...you may want to use these inter-webs pages to look up sarcasm.

To my knowledge, Splitidentity is a Hawk fan. A respectable and respectful one at that. **Of course, a filthy, rotten, no good Hawkeye fan, but still respectable/respectful.

**this is an example of sarcasm.

This is another example of NOT understanding sarcasm. Not trying to be condescending--this is all to help out a bit.

Much appreciated. Sarcasm is hard to convey and/or pick up on here sometimes.

Care to do a program by program comparison? Otherwise, prestige readings are pointless since admission standards are identical.

Prove it

In September, two marginal to bad football teams squared off in a fairly forgettable football game in Kinnick Stadium. The result was the measuring stick for the strength of the rest of their conference's teams, including the teams that haven't even been in their conference for 5 years.

What more proof do you need?
