How so?

As far as similarities, we are both land-grant universities. There is a lot more we have in common but this is a biggie. We are both public universities similar in size. Another thing we have in common is both schools are members of the Association of American Universities (AAU).

As far as the skunk/hogeye comparison, mostly a joke but we both have enemies we love to hate ;-)

Swoopes is a head of Tyrone

You mean Tyrone Swoopes, your quarterback? How can he be ahead of himself on the depth chart? How do you not know your backup quarterback's name?

Oh, wait...
