Enjoy his yearning for affirmation.

What's wrong with Naperville? (typed, sitting in a home about .5 miles north of the Naperville city limit.)
I’ll try harder-I promiseYou should be more polite when asking for things. Thank-you
Nope-want to keep watching the jihadist wing of fandom here. Quite entertaining.Yeah, you could leave, more than nine years of your crap is sufficient.
Tell it to Head Coach Matt Campbell. He started it!
Team Out East. Team Out East. Team Out East.
According Hlas, the Rose Bowl is the only bowl that matters. Maybe he should start a campaign for the TOE faithful that they turn down any bowl that is not in Pasedena.

Would you prefer they say Elgin? I don’t live in dsm, but I figure it is accurate enough as most don’t know West Des Moines.Honestly, nothing, but it's not Chicago. It's a great place to live.
It's a Chicago specific deal. People use "I'm from Chicago" like it's some kind of street cred or badge of honor. As in the following sentence;Would you prefer they say Elgin? I don’t live in dsm, but I figure it is accurate enough as most don’t know West Des Moines.
I know you weren’t talking to me, but I agree with Lindency. I’m from Des Moines, and when I was in school there were situations where it seemed like people from the suburbs thought they were better than us/we should be thankful they were gracing us with their presence. So I think people should say “I’m from x, a suburb of y” rather than “i’m from y.” It only takes a second more to say, and people living in the suburb chose to live there which is fine, but you can’t now claim to live in the larger city.Would you prefer they say Elgin?

Don't talk to me about crime, I'm from Chicago.
When they're from Naperville or Schaumburg or Hoffman Estates, it rings a little hollow.
Sorry @harimad I doubt you used it in this respect, but there are some who do it.
So how were ticket sales to the Pinstripe Bowl

Same issues that are facing many mid-level P5 teams...huge stadiums with high ticket prices versus every game on TV where one can watch in the comforts of their homes. Maintaining 24 sports (Men and Women) at Iowa is also very expensive especially when the only sources of significant income are football, Men's basketball, and the BIG conference. For reference, ISU has 16 sports, but with a smaller budget.

Schools are beginning to shrink stadiums to add premium experiences (end zone clubs, suites, etc.), and Iowa is also jumping on that train.
