I dont understand how Matt can honestly think ISU vs Iowa will take a back seat to Fuskers vs Sqwuaks. I mean one of the teams isnt even in the state. This has been a monstrous rivalry for decades, probably as heated and as long as Mich vs tOSU. Some has been program isnt going to supplant us as Iowa's rival.
Uh, no. You had me until there. That game almost always has a say in who wins the Big Ten. Often times the winner does and the loser doesn't. That rivalry probably isn't topped in college football because it is the last week of the year and it usually decides so much. Even last year, Michigan was terrible but it was a game. That rivalry is so intense it's not funny.
