here's the problem with iowa, and why they defend their football so much; especially when talking to a cornhusker. iowa is famous for corn and beef, that's what is good about the state. unfortunately, when it comes to corn and beef, they do not have anything on nebraska. they want to be at least equal to nebraska, i mean, we both have the corn and beef thing going for ourselves. however, other than that, iowa is just a loose confederation of mid-size, trash towns solely funded by the riverboat degenerate crowd. omaha's waste created council bluffs. they do have adventureland, but come on. the greatest thing about i-80 in iowa is that it gets you out of the state and into nebraska.
football is important to them, and they want to claim the same history as nu, so we do not pull too far ahead of them.
i will give iowa credit though, they have an insanely disproportionate amount of influence in politics when is comes to primary season. and they some how convinced that they should matter because they are 'decent, honest americans.' i know iowans, most of my extended family is from iowa, they are not decent or honest.
(this was just sarcasm, i really have nothing against iowans, although i do find their compulsion to compare football traditions with huskers a bit odd.)
