Hunting for Hawkeyes with the Natives Part III
For our third installment of Hunting Hawkeyes with the Natives, we go on the trail with Rodger Sherman of Sippin' on Purple, a Northwestern blog. Click here are Parts I and II. After talking to Rodger it seems that Northwestern fans don't hate Iowa, rather they are grateful for Iowa: A few...
Corns Of the Big 12: Texas
Et tu, Mack? I've lived in Texas. Spent my summers there in my teenage and early college years. Worked mostly in Dallas with a couple summers spent in College Station working on the stadium expansion at Kyle Field in the early 80's. During that time I came to understand Texas pride....
Corns Of the Big 12: Oklahoma State
Waiter, there's something in my mush! Oklahoma State Cowboy football. In the annals of college he mere mention of the name conjures up next to nothing. Oklahoma State has won a total of 48 national titles, 34 in wrestling, ten in golf, two in basketball and one in baseball. Football to...
Corns of the Big 12: Nebraska
Harvest. It's all about reaping what you sow. If you know much at all about corn, you can see this one coming. Nebraska is sweet corn. I'm sure this doesn't mean much to someone who lives in a highly urbanized area and doesn't have access to fresh vegetables, but trust me, there is...
Corns of the Big 12: Mizzou
Missouri, picked by the Big 12 media to win the North division. Missouri, winner of the first Husker game I attended in 1978 when they scored on a 98-yard pass play. Missouri, last winner of a conference title in 1969 when they won the Big Eight during another down year for Nebraska.2007 sees the...
Corns of the Big 12: Kansas State
Most college fans around the nation see Colorado as Nebraska's greatest rival these days, but I'm not so sure it's not Kansas State. There's something irritating about the Wildcats. Maybe it was that non-call on the facemask that nearly ripped Eric Crouch's head off. Maybe it was that Bill Snyder...
Corns Of the Big 12: Kansas
Kansas, the Land of Oz, the Sunflower State, and a great progressive rock band in the '70's (you know you loved "Carry On Wayward Son").People who travel through Nebraska travel down I-80 and the Platte River Valley see probably the flattest stretch of land in the US and some of the most boring. At...
Corns Of the Big 12: Iowa State
For years Iowa State has been living off football players who weren't asked to play for the University of Nebraska. It's one of the reasons why Nebraska has a huge home advantage when playing in Lincoln but why Iowa State plays us very well when the game is in Ames. They play with a chip on their...
Corns of the Big 12: Colorado
Finding these in your field means nothing but trouble. Ah, Colorado. A beautiful state. The Rocky Mountains. The splendor. But underneath it all exists something truly horrific. Something that'll eat away at the the root of a corn stalk, weakening the entire system. The Colorado Buffaloes...
