Iowa definitely ain’t Idaho, coz that corn ain’t Famous. #ANF #AHF #ATF
So, I’m not an Iowa or Iowa State fan. Joining TGS gave me an amazing opportunity to write and publish pretty much whatever I want and work with awesome people, but the universe always finds balance. The amazingness of this group of people is offset by the fact that it has pulled me into one […]

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. In an age of bowl slates with 80 teams and the “BCS Bowls” essentially being reduced to a 4-team playoff, the postseason is becoming less lucrative to many teams and rivalry games are becoming […]

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 […]
