Those Crazy Iowans

The rivalry between Iowa and Iowa State has moved from the football field to the scenic highways of Iowa. Iowa State has placed a billboard on the highway near the Iowa campus that declares the state of Iowa a "Cyclone Sate," and shows a picture of last year's Iowa State football team after its victory over Iowa. Iowa plans on getting back at their rivals by leaving a flaming bag of poop at the entrance to their student center.

Texas A&M is once again angry over the unauthorized use of their trademark "12th man." This time it's Yahoo!, which has an interactive section of it's World Cup coverage designed to get fans more involved called the "12th man" Five months ago A&M disputed the use of "12th man" by the Seattle Seahawks, but an agreement was later reached that allowed the Seahawks to use the term in its own region. Yahoo! defended its use of the term saying that nobody reads their World Cup coverage so it doesn't matter.
