Lyon County....small population and pretty sure if someone dug into the stats they would find most kids choosing a 4 year ed. head to South Dakota State or the small 4 year colleges in Sioux Falls. Also some "different" religious denominations up there that don't stress post high education.

History has shown that the conquering army breeds with the women to insure that the next generation falls in line. Clearly the Cyclones are following the same strategy. We are just out breeding the eastern brethren.

A couple of things

1) what the hell is up with Lyon county?

2) I think they're confusing majority with plurality on the map legend

I grew up in Lyon County. Until I got to ISU I'd just assumed the whole of rural Iowa was just like most of us - tavern hoks to the bone who'd never been to Iowa City nor knew it was, in fact, an actual university. Tons of farmers up that way that can't resist a jab at ISU when given an opportunity.

Still, strange to see this. Had to have been like 9-8 in favor of EIU, if even that many in total.

No love for LAS at ISU in this thread. :(

Some emphasis on the LA part here.

Would you like fries with that, sir?

When you have a lower level of education quality, you enroll as many kids as possible, then you have something to brag about.
