Let's focus on the part where he says "Everybody talks about going to Iowa State"...
Why do you suppose that is Paul? He didn't say "Everybody talks about going to Kansas, or Kansas State, or Baylor". He apparently has been hearing others give glowing remarks about Iowa State is how I'll take that statement. People who actually have been here and experienced our GameDay atmosphere.
The point I'm trying to make is, our University's GameDay experience is fun and exciting for us. Tailgating is a blast. The stadium is full. The football team is competitive with whomever comes in there now. We love our team just as much as anyone else loves their own teams.Whether it's from the SEC, B1G, ACC, PAC 12 or anywhere else. Excitement is excitement for each individual...wherever they choose to experience it. It's why college football is so much fun on any given Saturday throughout the country. So, whether or not he just randomly threw out Iowa State's name or not...he subconsciously thought about Iowa State. And we must be doing something right if he chose to say "Everyone" talks about going to Iowa State...
...maybe come see why someday Paul.
I'm sure it is.
