Honestly why do people care about UNI or Drake at this point? We don’t play them, UNI especially is almost a non entity in the metro, etc. I think the way UNI plays basketball is an assault on the eyeballs but it seems basically moot. I don’t care if any Iowa kid goes to either school at this point.
Edit: UNI is also really struggling to get any good noncon games. The chance I actually watch UNI at any point in the foreseeable future is low. I guess maybe in 2021 I might watch an NCAA game according to some posters but that’s 18 months away.
We all know the flame war threads on here -- Clones versus Hawks, anything with the other instate rivals, stuff with Nebraska, KU, KSU, Democrats and Republicans, Trump versus whoever -- get far more traffic and comment than anything else. With it self-evident that people do care and invest more energy into that stuff than anything else, what do we conclude?
Why do we care? Because hating things is fun.
