... I'm in Iowa tonight. Can someone please explain what's up with this place? Especially the food. And the people.

Thanks in advance.
 






If you think you are seeing a lot of cows, chances are some of those are just Iowan women.
 


LOL! Now you can finally appreciate a few of the MANY reasons why we HATE Iowa! Get out as soon as you can!
 

You're not in Aggieland anymore. BTW- I was at the UTEP game this past Saturday!
 



You are still ok, Aggie. Iowa is #50 in the list of the top 50 states in the USA.

I wish you would have let me know. I could have gotten you VIP treatment for the weekend.

Sorry the game was so dull. No one really gets too excited about UTEP except for whatever spiders were shooting out webs.
 

I hope you know, once you've visited Iowa, you're a Legit Gopherholer. Your trip to Iowa was actually good in many respects. Here's a short list:

1) Having a Colonoscopy? You can compare that to your trip to Iowa and the Colonoscopy wasn't that bad.
2) You understand why Iowa is considered the biggest party campus (even without Vodka Samm) in the nation. This is how the natives cope with living there.
3) You understand why Iowans drive to the Twin Cities every other year - it is one of the few times they'll see running water and flush toilets.
4) The "Who Hates Iowa?" cheer? You can speak from experience.
5) Food? Ketchup is considered Hot Sauce in Des Moines.

You just endured the ultimate hazing. You deserve a rest. Please let us know how Iowa has changed your perception of life.
 



They consider Casey's a 5 star Resturant. Also, try finding a nice off road rest stop. Seriously!
 








Are you now, or have you ever been a running back? If so get out of there quick. I'd say run, but then they might just get you that much faster.

I know everything is big in Texas. But the women are bigger in Iowa.
 

I lived in Knoxville, IA for 5 years in the 90's. (Home of Gopher Hole regular DL65).

Honestly, smaller cities in IA are not that much different than smaller cities in MN. Outside of a few obnoxious Hawkeye fans, I generally enjoyed my time in IA. Certainly, Des Moines is not in the same league as Mpls/St. Paul when it comes to urban areas. the Twin Cities offer more entertainment and sporting options, including major concerts and pro sports.

My biggest gripe with IA involves roads and driving. In general, MN roads are maintained in better condition. And MN drivers are better than IA drivers. People in IA think turn signals are optional. I'm not kidding!! I lost count of the # of times I would be following a car in IA, and the car would stop in the middle of the street. I knew it was going to turn, but I had no idea if it was turning left or right.
 

As long as you survive your visit to Ioaw, Aggie, you will understand the disdain the Minnesota has for Ioaw. Ioaw is a great place to visit, for as short a visit as possible. Remember, Aggie...A Minnesotan with the lowest ACT score in the state moved to Ioaw and it raised the average IQ of both states.
