Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

B1G Social Network - Do we really hate Iowa?


There was a recent article on the off tackle empire that talked about the "big ten social network".  The main point of the article was to find out which big ten teams liked, disliked or didn't care about each other.   I thought this was pretty interesting, but there just weren't enough Purdue people being interviewed to get a good idea of what are true feelings are about other B1G schools.  So, I am posting this in hopes to find out who are OMHR really is, and who our BFF is in the B1G. More after the jump...

Here is the article on the off tackle empire:  http://www.offtackleempire.com/2011/6/6/2196446/the-b1g-social-network-big-ten-conference

Below I am going to attach a few polls (11 to be exact).  Each poll will have a rating for each B1G team.  I am hoping that I will be able to get some more data this way to find out what we all want to know.  If you could, please give your rating to each of the B1G teams.  We will start off with Iowa.

On the subject of this

What do you guys think the new Purdue-Iowa rivalry should be called? My personal suggestions:

1) BoilerHawk
2) The Black and Gold Brawl
3) The Tenderloin Trophy (in reference to http://www.kitchencookingrecipes.com/forum/cooking-forums/89077-iowa-indiana-tenderloin-controversy.html)

It’s just too bad that “Farmageddon” has already been taken.

An interesting question -

They already have the Cy-Hawk trophy with Iowa State which, fittingly, is utterly lame and generic:

I think it should be something pertaining to the fact that both schools have Black and Gold as their colors (although Iowans read “gold” as “urine yellow”).

Maybe a shield, half gold/half black that records the scores? Black I on the gold side for Iowa, Gold P on the black side for Purdue

instead of the shield, gonna have to go with a pie shaped like π

since it’s gonna say P I on it.

To your call once more we rally....
