I've decided I'm a Hawkeye fan

I know what you mean.

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk
Class of '87 in the Free State

But my two favorite pro football teams are the Bears and whoever is playing the Packers. Your rival is your rival. As a person who's attended Iowa, ISU, AND KU, the one that sticks in my craw is Okla St. I don't feel any special grudge towards Minny or Missouri wrestling teams, though. Good teams with good coaches.

While damning the unnamed rest. I'm not the arbiter of class, and I can't use that to rationalize my rivalries.

Oh, and Okla state is a good team with a good coach as well. Always have been. That's why they're always worthy rivals.

If only the classy ones post here, maybe thats why we see so few Hawkeye fans on this site.

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. I have been reading here for a couple weeks, and I figured I might try my hand at this.

I would much rather have the gophers lose to ISU than Iowa. The reasoning is that ISU is in the Big 12, and Iowa is in the Big Ten. ISU can't keep the gophers from winning a conference title, however Iowa can.

Well thank you. I am still getting used to the format of everything. I am sure it'll come to me within a day or 2.
