Where did the "Farmageddon" name come from?

KSU-ISU seems to be in danger of losing it:  http://espn.go.com/blog/BigTen/post/_/id/15193/my-take-on-big-ten-divisions-schedules

OTHER THOUGHTS
Nebraska has to be pleased with its position. The Huskers get a border rivalry against Iowa that will be huge (Farmageddon, baby), and they renew a regional rivalry with Minnesota.

That's the second time!

Don't worry, SkinnyBenny is on the case and set the score straight in the comments section.   :cool:
However, that's going to get buried in about five minutes, so prolly anyone else here with an ESPN account needs to post something to the same effect.

It's marginally imaginative when we use it, it will be unimaginative when they use it.  The real question is whether Nebraska fans will know that they are being unimaginative, or if they will act like they are being creative.  'Cat and Cyclone fans will know.

Hi, Kevin,

Where did you first hear of the K-State vs. Iowa State game being referred to as 'Farmageddon'?

Thanks in advance,

MadCat

This game could be as simple as most rushing yards wins, barring turnovers, but if Kansas State can get some consistent play from the quarterback position, it could win the game that, with apologies to the upcoming Nebraska-Iowa series, was christened "Farmageddon" by plenty of fans before any realignment talk surfaced.

The best farmaggeddon photoshop was the golden silo trophy. Loved that one.

Search "Farmageddon" in Google Images and this picture is one of the first to pop up.

Did BSAC miss the boat on this one or can we expect a lawsuit to be filed shortly?

I'm glad we already have this stuff made because I don't know if I'd want to start from scratch for this year's farmageddy.

Havs I hope you aren't looking past Iowa towards K-State.  Oh what am I saying, of course Clone Nation is already losing sleep over Farmageddon.
