Think about how many states are in what is considered New England. That gives them that many more chances to talk about Boston and New York.

Gene Honda Civic Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) Surprisingly, Iowa State is sweeping up the Iowa ones..... Kalapse must be leading a message board charge over there.... No. 1 Iowa vs. No. 2 Mich is one of the best college football games in history (Even a Michigan fan will admit this). It was leading by a substantial margin when I voted yesterday. I can't believe it's losing by the wide margin it is now. Hilton vs. Kinnick vs. Carver is a joke. Hilton has both of them covered, and it's not even close. Kinnick is an institution. Pink visitors lockerroom. The front row is where the bench is at most stadiums, been around forever. Carver Hawkeye is a great place to watch a game, a beautiful facility. Hilton, has gained a raucous crowd lately, but it's anticeptic. For those in the area who haven't been there, it's a slightly larger UIC pavillion. HOW IS DAN GABLE NOT THE BEST ATHLETE???? He did what Sanderson did, but back then people cared about wrestling. He then went to Iowa and built the best wrestling program in the country. It's gone in the crapper since he retired, and now all of the top schools can trace their roots to Gable and Iowa. Jay Berwanger -- Com'on! .2% WTF!!! learn your history you douchebags at least the White Sox have tripled their percentage since I voted yesterday. WOO-HOO 2.1% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
