Iowa

The joke in Iowa is the Iowa fans buy their t-shirts from Walmart and Iowa State fans buy their t-shirts from the Iowa State bookstore

Who the hell has the courage to go in public wearing an Iowa State t-shirt? Does the ISU bookstore even sell them?

On the way home from the Twins game yesterday I spotted a license plate going south on i-35 that said ISUffer.

Didn't realize there's more reading involved in parks, rec, and leisure than engineering and biology....

Jerry, you wanna hear something? Your cousin, Jeffrey, is switching parks. They’re transferring him to Riverside — so he’ll completely revamp that operation, you understand? He’ll do in Riverside what he did in Central Park. It’s more money. So, that’s your cousin.

Iowa State University: Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services (19%), Engineering (19%), and Biological and Biomedical Sciences (5%)

Actually, The University of Iowa has figured out that an undergraduate degree really doesn't get you very far anymore, so they place a lot more emphasis on graduate and research programs such as medicine, law, business and fine arts. Can't blame them for being forward thinking. Iowa is also considered a Public Ivy institution (which ISU is not) and is a member of the AAU (which ISU is as well).

Clearly Iowa is the Harvard of the Midwest....

Would you mind explaining how prestige this is to the ND State Board of Higher Education, and of course, our F'Hawkin neighbors to the North?

"How prestige this"?

Even an Ivy League education won't help you figure that out. And I should know. I went to an Ivy League school.
