Farmageddon: The quietest rivalry
Rivalries in college football are unique—some have trophies, many have interesting origin stories, and most feature two fan bases that hate each other.

Farmageddon is ours
It is that time of year again, its Farmageddon week. What started out as a joke on a K-State message board, has turned into the well known nickname for the Kansas State-Iowa State football game. Weirdly I think the name has added some spice to this game. Before 2010, as a K-State fan, I never […]
