pssst look at the post from Britannica. You win.Willing to oblige your last wish.
You are effectively wikipedia. I gotta defer to Encyclopedia Britannica. Btw you said you would die on this hill. That means no more posts from you.
Came for the 2020 football projections, stayed for the midwest definition debates. Solid thread, 8/10. Would read again.
Yes, being a mid-westerner allows me a perfect combo of pride and humbleness and results in good threads.
For the record, Southern Illinois is everything south of I-80.
I'm an ISU grad and moved to New England 18 years ago from Des Moines.
I fly back for a few games a year, but after that game in Ames against Iowa 4 years ago when we had a chance to win and we did our typical collapse, I said to my HOK buddies that I will not buy season tickets until we change coaches and have a winning season. I was so frustrated with how we had not progressed under what I considered to be a guy who truly wanted to be at Iowa State. BTW, I was at the Texas game when we won, but that Iowa game was the last straw.
I'm now a proud holder of season tickets and happily fly back to Iowa to cheer on ISU and Coach Campbell. We've got a winner and he knows he's got a fan base that no school can surpass.
Does one remember the picture in the DM Register of Rhoads and Campbell standing on the field by themselves after our loss to Toledo? I thought to myself that we should be looking at that Toledo guy as our next coach.
No one can confirm that I said it or even thought it. But it happened and I'm grateful.

I remember this one but can't recall seeing one of Pollard and Campbell talking on the field after the Toledo game.

I didn’t know you were born in the Midwest and then moved to Ohio! Tough break.
I think it's interesting that all of KY is further north than parts of Missouri but no one wants to argue that MO is south. And they are in the SEC (Which I admit, conference naming accuracy does not exist - since we have Big 10 with 14 teams and Big XII with 10.)
