I know this is a sports thing, but I would honestly never know if Iowa got nuked off the map.

Can you imagine being a grown adult that bases their entire identity on sports teams.

Well, I can guarantee this dude is rocking white New Balance shoes. All Minnesotan adults born before 72 do. I’ll bet he can drink a dozen Nordeast pounders in a single sitting( possibly a sitting that he just rose from). He’s got a pellet smoker at home, probably in the garage next to his street glide Harley and his Lund mr. pike. His wife knits and plays cribbage. His identity is basic, but Gopher football is only a glimpse into this man’s life.

The Numa Numa guy grew older and apparently lives in Iowa now...

At first I thought it was like a rhetorical question. Like who has strong feelings about iowa? Seems like such an innocuous place.

Friendly reminder that MN last conference championship was a split with Indiana in 1967. 7 consecutive Ls to Iowa.

I need context.

Those are Minnesota fans at a game vs Purdue, which is in Indiana, not Iowa.

What am I missing?

Haha I rode out most of the pandemic in rural iowa…

I live in rural NC like my backyard is 10 acres mostly leased out to a company that grows sod atm. However, at least my town has a couple of gas stations, a grocery store, and a dollar general…

Fucking go to a rural town in Iowa, there is a post office, gas station is 30 minutes away, have to walk to the end of the road to get cell service….

Jesus I spent 6 months working in Gnome Alaska and somehow Iowa was worse

I traveled Iowa for a bit as a power line auditor before I knew what I wanted to do. I was starting to get into the wide stretches of nothingness, and rolled up on a town about 20 minutes from Carroll. The motel they had me staying at advertised dial out phones and color tv. I decided, right then, that I would hate Iowa until the day I die.

Also, my dad is from there and he’s a bastard. But I mostly blame the motel.

How ridiculous to even be celebrating hatred over a football game. This speaks to the division that is treating the 🇺🇸 USA apart. These extreme positions have been normalised. There is nothing funny about him and his stupid t shirt

If you’re like 65 and your entire personality still revolves around the college you went to 40+ years ago, you need to get a better fucking personality

To continue then, Iowa has won 10+ games in 7 of the past 20 seasons and has finished ranked in the top 10 in 5 of those. That is 1/4 seasons. Also did so multiple times in the 80s-90s. Minnesota has achieved 2 seasons of that quality in the same period, and has finished top 10 a single time since 1960 (exactly 10th in 2019).

No idea why either. People have asked me before what the deal is with Nebraska. I always just say that I have absolutely no idea why Nebraska is so obsessed with the Hawkeyes, because nobody in Iowa gives any shits towards Nebraska lol. It's just kinda weird

How long does that trust last? It's funny how governments immediately make certain taxes and make sure it's possible to avoid them, but only with a weird hoop jumping ritual. It's like it's a favour to lawyers and the people who can afford them
