I for one am okay with this rivalry to get set on fire by both sides
Ya know the Purdue rivalry that Delaney tried to create was fake news. (btw he has been the big dog since 1989, he must be doing one hell of a job to have that kind of longevity)
And when the Heroes games was announced and set for the Thanksgiving viewing audience - I saw some fans claim it was a forced rivalry.
Well if this thread and the 10,000 others like it prove anything, they prove this rivalry is real and has been turned up to 11 on the furnace since it was conceived. And I for one think this makes college football and hawkeye football a hell of a lot of fun. I look forward to this game more than I look forward to playing Iowa State, that's for sure.
