Ahh... Yes, because the invention of basketball obviously has a lot to do with the Iowa State vs Iowa football game. And don't give the lame excuse that the ears of corn are shaped like footballs, as they more than likely just thought that up after everyone was ******** at them about how much their trophy sucked.
Hhahhahah....the explanation just makes it worse. They just keep making this worse. Nothing like the Iowa Corn people insulting the entire state. Nice work guys.
