[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129453130, member: 1754664"] Interestingly, ISU just played (and lost to) Northern Iowa in Des Moines. UNI is currently a pretty good team, but what does ISU have to gain from playing UNI on a neutral court?. The game is part of the Big 4, and in alternating years the "big" Iowa schools play either UNI and Drake. This year Iowa played (and beat) Drake (not good this year). Next year the game will flip to ISU-Drake and Iowa-UNI. Do ISU and Iowa fans make the same sort of feeble arguments against playing their lesser in-state opponents? Aren't Iowa or ISU wins no big deal while a UNI win or a Drake win is a much bigger deal? Is it possible people in Iowa who support the major programs just aren't as infantile and insecure as the subset of WVU fans who make up stupid reasons not to play Marshall because they don't have the balls to give the real reason?
