The word Iowa, of Native American origin, actually translates to "Purdue sucks!"
How about comparing Hollywood figures?Iowa has Oscar winners John Wayne,Donna Reed,and Cloris Leachman plus William Frawley.Indiana produced Anne Baxter,Robert Wise,James Dean and Red Skelton.PoliticallyIowa has supported the Democrat nominee for President in five of the last eight elections while Indiana has voted for the Dems in five of the last twenty eight contests.Purdue and Iowa are natural rivals. The states of Indiana and Iowa are virtually the same once you eliminate culture, technology, basketball tradition, pro sports, world famous racing, national conventions, and historical figures.

This is the best you can do? Actors? Anybody remember the last Iowa caucus? AKA the laughing stock of politics and elections!

Yes,that was pretty bad.I have never been to Iowa,but a drive across it cant be any worse than traveling through Kansas.Once you have been there,you know why Dorothy Gale had those exotic dreams of getting out of there.This is the best you can do?

So true! We used to vacation in CO and my Dad thought it was a great idea to take one of the long Dodge vans and drive through Kansas. "I spy an oil well..." and fall asleep. Painfully boring.Yes,that was pretty bad.I have never been to Iowa,but a drive across it cant be any worse than traveling through Kansas.Once you have been there,you know why Dorothy Gale had those exotic dreams of getting out of there.

dangit...I always reserved that for new jerseyI actually looked it up: "Iowa" in Iroquois translates to "Land of Butthole"
If I were forced to choose between living in Iowa, living in New Jersey or death, death would probably win.dangit...I always reserved that for new jersey
We should do a spoof video about ending hate with Iowa and Purdue fans.We should definitely chant IOWA SUCKS after every kickoff
Why? I hate Iowa. Especially the fact that we have t already beaten them this week and have to wait til Saturday.We should do a spoof video about ending hate with Iowa and Purdue fans.
So, now you have zero friends? 😉I had a really good friend in my life until I found out he went to Purdue.
Now I hate that guy.
Nice guy, but get real!
Also dated a girl who went to Purdue. Only tolerated her because she had the wisdom to transfer out.
He's got a sheep, who's sort of a friend, sort of more.......So now you have zero friends? 😉
A lot of teams beat us a lot of times in that stretch. GBHF. God Bless Hayden Fry.You Iowa types just can’t get over that fact that Purdue beat you each and every year from 1960 to 1980. That’s right Hawkeyes!!! Purdue beat you guys 21 straight years in what was and probably still is the longest winning streak against one team in NCAA history. Only Notre Dame beating up on Navy might be a longer streak!
He's no icon of Iowa wrestling. He coached at Iowa State, aka, Clown University.don't know if there is enough hate to go around, I live in Pa. and there fans hate you guys after last week. And it's still a GD shame that one of the icons of Iowa wrestling is their wrestling coach.
Ok now you've gone and done it. Indiana, Indiana, Indiana.Can't we just merge Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska into one boring, annoying state? I mean, they're pretty much the same and have no redeeming qualities in themselves.
We could get a bunch of little Purdue drum replicas and smash them all every time we run out of the locker rooms.We should definitely chant IOWA SUCKS after every kickoff
We could burn corn stalks but that would be disparaging both teams.We could get a bunch of little Purdue drum replicas and smash them all every time we run out of the locker rooms.
I believe a pork tenderloin sandwich has also been suggested as a trophyI still think Iowa and Purdue have missed an opportunity to introduce a traveling trophy into this epic, heated rivalry. I've always suggested a Seething Cauldron of Hate as the item we battle over.
I sometimes wake up in June and just yell “Iowa!!”Why? I hate Iowa. Especially the fact that we have t already beaten them this week and have to wait til Saturday.
Will you be my friend?So, now you have zero friends? 😉
President Kinnick that has a certain ring to itI first learned about Nile Kinnick in this superb article by Ron Fimrite, published in 1987...

Cael is an ISU alum no love lost theredon't know if there is enough hate to go around, I live in Pa. and there fans hate you guys after last week. And it's still a GD shame that one of the icons of Iowa wrestling is their wrestling coach.
Yes, but he is an Iowa State Grad. LOLdon't know if there is enough hate to go around, I live in Pa. and there fans hate you guys after last week. And it's still a GD shame that one of the icons of Iowa wrestling is their wrestling coach.
That article has long been a favorite of mine always brings a tear for all the boys who didn't get to live their life. "When you go home tell them of us we gave our today so you could have your tomorrow " Semper Fi.That was awesome, glad i came across your post. On a related note, the following excerpt made me laugh: But it was his last punt that finally broke the spirit of the previously unbeaten Irish. With two minutes to play, Kinnick punted from his own 34, the ball going out of bounds on the Notre Dame five. When I saw that ball sail over the safety's head, I knew we had beaten Notre Dame," Couppee says. "I have played in 147 football games, college, service and pro, but that was the single most exhilarating moment I've ever experienced in sports."
That deep love for punting as an art form lives on at Iowa. Given a choice between having the best quarterback in the country and the best punter in the world, KF and indeed many iowa fans would actually pick the punter and then bitch (only the fans) rest of the season about the qb.![]()
