Thinking the same thing. But when you think about it, it kind of makes sense. In some of the smaller towns in Iowa, the only place you can buy Iowa merchandise is at Walmart. Probably the same for Nebraska.

edit: Iowa is 13th in the number of Walmarts per capita.

So Okie and Bama should also be embarrassed? Walmart is the largest retailer in the USA and world.

I bet the UI athletic dept loves the revenue from those licensed product sales.

Time to extend the contracts and give all the coaches a raise. We're top 10 baby!

That and Walmart is probably biggest in the midwest from Arkansas north. I don't believe that they have as big a presence on the coasts.

Proud to say I have never bought Hawkeye merchandise at a Walmart. Kohl's is a different story, albeit, about as cheap and bad.

Easy big fella...I did add the winky face...I do occasionally hit em up if I'm going after large amounts of anything that's not meat or produce...(But yes I'd be embarrassed if somebody asked me where I got my Iowa gear and I had to reply with walmart).....just me I guess.

Penn State would be in there if it wasn't for the Sandusky scandal. A lot of stores took Penn State merchandise out because of that.

If we factor in that we have to share the state with ISU, could be be #1? Could Barta be the best AD on the planet?

There are no dentists so they have money to spend on more important stuff.
