The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[wally]

BYU fans have a built-in dislike for Iowa State as some of their students campaigned to keep us out during an earlier round of expansion.

Sounds like they don't fully appreciate how much fun an entire stadium singing "Popcorn popping" can be!

Ha- Iowa State is such a nobody school that I don't think BYU fans at large will have any recollection at all of this happening. I only vaguely remember it as I'm reading your post...

I definitely remember it. F*ckin' cyclone pieces of sh!t. Those assholes probably all voted for Trump.

You are just trying to make us like Iowa state. Too late!

I wouldn't dream of insulting Iowa State like that.

I attended the Iowa State Fair yesterday. “Iowa Nice” is a real thing. But based on my observations of tshirts, signs, and truck flags, your probably right about their voting preference.

Nice! Did you see the butter cow? Corn dog? Funnel cake? Any good bands at the free stage?

We saw the Butter Cow and Butter Caitlyn Clark. No corn dog, but had dill fried cheese curds, a pickle dog, and pork chop in a stick. We didn’t stick around for any bands. It was Christian rock night.

Although there was a lot of Trump and F Biden stuff, no one was in our face about it, other than wearing it proudly.

Awesome. I miss the fair and all that entails. Well, except for when it would be 95F degrees with 85% relative humidity. Hopefully, you caught some more moderate weather.

We would go see the has-beens at the free stage back in high school. Steppenwolf put on a fun show back in the early 90s.

Ha! As most here have figured out, I struggle with reading. I read that to say, "Awesome. I miss the fair and all the entrails." I had to read that a second time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the livestock areas met that description. Those pork chops on a stick don’t make themselves!

There was a sow giving birth as we walked past the display for baby animals. I very nearly lost my deep fried lunch a couple of times in that building. Us city boys aren’t used to that intense of a fecal smell. Then add in the visual of pig fetuses being ejected and I very nearly

Ha ha. It’s raw nature in there sometimes.

One can smell the stink of a pig farm on a hot, summer day from miles away. I remember a friend of mine said he was riding with an old farmer when they were passing a pig farm. My friend tried covering his nose with his shirt. The farmer chuckled and told him, “That’s the smell of money, son.”
