How about Iowa?
 
Err ... we talked about Ohio on the other day, and just curious about Iowa :) I think Iowa is more remote than Ohio.

We have more hogs than human, and more corn fields than houses ;)

What about Iowa?

I think Iowa brings down the prestige of Nebraska, plus the drivers are bad in Iowa!

queequek 05-15-2002 08:05 PM

Iowa ... there is nothing in Iowa but corn fields and hogs. You know, we don't really have urban setting cities (Des Moines and Iowa City are not enough), like Omaha for Nebraska, St. Louis and Kansas City for Missouri, Chicago for Illinois, Minneapolis for Minnesota ...
I am bored!

Although Omaha isnt that hoppin either! I have been looking for something to do in Omaha and Lincoln all 4 years I was there!!:)

What about Wyoming? Thats a pretty remote and isolated place as far as people lol

queequek 05-15-2002 11:58 PM

Wyoming ....
 
Well, at least people would go to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone NP. Iowa doesn't have any tourism place/National Park like other states do.

Dude, it's no wonder you say that - you go to Iowa A&T . . . head on down to Cy's Roost, grab a beer, and calm down. While you're there, reminisce about the largest loss in Hilton history, just last season! (sorry man, had to get in a dig)

Nothing wrong with the state of Iowa - and Chopper, I don't know what Nebraska has to bring down. Other than West Council Bluffs (which isn't a whole lot different from Des Moines), it's exactly the same as Iowa.

Thanks Rob.. couldn't have said it better myself. So I don't know who Chuck Long is :cool: and I'm really from a "suburb" of Chicago - I love this state.

LOL ... most people would think we grow potato ...
Well, eventhough it's a boring state, I love this state and consider it as my home :)
Especially Ames, bc it's a college town, every summer is pretty much dead, because people go home to work. Since I work up here in Ames, I have to stay here to experience the emptiness of Ames.
Stop whining .. Iowa State has a good school program and athletic (we always beat up Hawkeye, ;) Go CYCLONES)

Let's change "always" to "rarely" . . . sure, ISU won the football game the last 4 years, but remember when the hawks won 15 in a row before that? (I'll take a .750 winning percentage over the last 20 years, any day)

Remember when U of I came in and delivered a 25-pt whooping on your home floor this season?

hahaha - yeah, the 'clones rock. What's up with the Redbird, anyway? What's that have to do with a cyclone?

(just playing, man - a bunch of my friends go to ISU, but I grew up a hawk fan)

Thrillhouse 05-16-2002 03:25 PM

Hey rob, Iowa really reached their potential in basketball this year didn't they?;) Nice top 10 preseason ranking.

SigmaChiCard 05-16-2002 03:50 PM

I mean




Kentucky




home of foothills and little else......

Iowa State Cyclones
 
Hahaha ...
I just give IowaHawkeye a hard time here :D Sure both of us are good.
Hey, we also have Cael Sanderson, and he will be working for ISU athlete recruitment ... bet so many good athletes will join ISU next year!

Nebraska!
 
Man oh man....I've lived my entire life in Omaha, NE.....so I've never been too big of an Iowa fan....we only went there when we were 16 to get our tounges pierced...(not me, but my friends) and to meet scary guys. That was in CB and the only other places I've been in Iowa are Ames and Iowa City....hmmm.....Omaha is better!!! Though now living in Missouri, I think Missouri wins overall! ;)
