Title: Why Is Iowa State So Weird?
Post by: steve dave on December 23, 2013, 09:15:04 AM
Their fans are the weirdest. And their teams are the weirdest. And I don't get it.

It's very uncomfortable for anybody who plays them.

I think it is probably due to the high level of butter that they consume in their daily diet.

I've worked with Iowans in a few different jobs.  All of them have such a weird since of humor and are totally awkward.  Its gotten to the point where I can talk to a person for a few minutes and tell that they're from Iowa

The lack of a pig aggie/Coal Aggie thread has really hurt the advertising numbers. Mods are scrambling right now, rumor is they may lose access to their net jet  :frown:

yeah i mean he's not even asking us what he should do about the weird iowa people and then refusing advice and doing his own thing days later. just a simple "they're weird". this is strange indeed, mocat.

Serious answer: Iowa State fans are weird because they're mostly Iowans. They televise high school wrestling, and their entire culture seemingly revolves around wrestling and corn. It's just a very, very weird state. Its neighbors Wisconsin and Minnesota are just as weird. They are easily the top 3 weirdest states in the Union (Utah gets an honorable mention).

I'll take a good bit of the blame for this one. After last year's outrage it was pretty near impossible to bait any of them back this year. One and done, apparently. Also ddoesnt help that most of the WVU boards are pure garbage.

I drive through there on the way to Minnesota a couple times a year.  I try to stop and get gas and make everyone pee before we cross the Missouri/Minnesota lines to avoid stopping there, but sometimes we still have to.

It's a crap shoot on what sort of mumped up thing will occur, but something always happens.

High pressure Girl Scout cookie sales, people having sex in the gas station restroom, animals wandering up and licking cars getting gas, cars with like six American flags hanging off of them, people randomly walking up to you an describing their ailments, etc.

Raw milk, probably.

Also, last time I was driving through Iowa,  gas stations had coffee additive in little cups (like creamer cups) strictly to add caffeine to your coffee. Stuff had warnings to not use more than two in a 24 hr period.  It was everywhere.    Could overabundance of caffeine cause it?

Northern Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota are both wonderful places to have a second home....summer time here is as good as it gets in the United States.

Milwaukee and Minneapolis/St. Paul are fantastic cities.  Great economies, great standard if living for a fair price, vibrant art and restaurant scenes, sports teams, just great place to live....

Southern rural Wisconsin and Minnesota are frozen wastelands akin to Iowa or the Dakotas.  Short spring and fall, long hard winter.  No value added.
