The locals are getting back some passion. Their main hate of Iowa is that there are success similarities over the long haul and similar status. But mainly they are still pissed about Pearl and Thomas.

The website is popular. I don't see the hate as much except for Iowa but it is there for others.

The guy put in about everything....good and bad.

There is an insane jealousy locally toward Iowa. Kind of like Hawk fans being obsessed with Nebraska.

El Assico?

Yes. It's a lot of crap but in the end it's a hobby locally to Hate Iowa like no one else but weirdly coupled with a certain amount of jealous respect.

My own opinion but Bruce Weber and KF are similar except KF chews gum rather than yell. They ran him out of town.

You have to admit, the bit with Nebraska....it's the unjustified hubris. Just makes it fun.

Same reason I can't stand OSU. Their justified hubris.
