...by how much you like being in a conference with them.
My rankings:
1. Kansas - Easy win in football, something to aim for in bball. Plus, all my interactions with their fan base have been surprisingly cordial.
2. Kansas State - Our closest counterpart culturally, it's nice having another midwest team that's within driving range.
3. Texas - Austin's cool, plus they add some prestige, even if they've been bad at sports recently.
4. Oklahoma - That CFP $$$
5. Texas Tech - They seem to have a collective chip on their shoulder and it's entertaining.
6. Oklahoma State - Gundy
7. West Virginia - Too far away, Holgerson's ******, Huggy's cool tho.
8. TCU - meh
9. Baylor - sucks

1) Texas - you're too cool
2) OU - Same
3) KU - bb fans are super annoying
4) KSU is wildly lucky with the Snyder hire, otherwise a peer school
5) Okie State - Long live Van Gundy
6) WVU, - They fell some after Holgerdouche's comments, but another blue collar school. Love huggy
7) TCU - They're the weird cousin at the family reunion
8) Tx Tech - think they're UT, but aren't anywhere near as successful
9) **** Baylor - leave now

"Like" is an interesting word in this context. I like being here with them because I loathe their sorry ass or because they're nice dudes? But here's mine:

  1. Ku - love the rivalry, loathe their sorry ass
  2. Texas - B12 credentials
  3. OU - Texas-lite, plus long-time partner
  4. ISU - bros
  5. oSu - ISU in orange
  6. TxT - us'ens with a twang
  7. TCU - everything the right way
  8. WVU - out of place
  9. Baylor - nice stadium/awesome WBB/horrible reputation

West Des Moines
1. Oklahoma - Loved Baker and Buddy Hield. Admire their CBB/FBB
2. OSU - Sympathy for 2011. Fans interactions have been solid.
3. KSU - remind me of us. Respect Snyder.
4. TCU - Underdog in CBB. Admire Gary Patterson
5. Tech - Hated Kingsbury. Still will hold that against them.
6. KU - Like Self, but dirty program. Thankful for the easy CFB win.
7. Baylor - Sexual Assault and stuff. Nobody punches my boy Monty.
8. Texas - Historical success. Ego and recent success of the hoks.
9. WVU - Geno Smith shoving an elderly Wally, the biggest puke of a coaching duo in CFB and CBB. Fans harassing Kane's mother, Monte being punched, thug style of basketball, laser beam gate, and fans overall unbearable.

Not exactly in order, but close.

KSU - looking into the mirror
OSU - almost like looking into the mirror; just throw a little more "cowboy" into the mix
WVU - salt of the earth folks who like to have a good time
UT - some of the better road fans I've met; their presence makes us lots of $
OU - Don't have anything bad to say about their fans, they also help keep us paid
TTU - seems like we have more in common than we'd realize, don't have enough interactions with them
TCU - My interactions with their fans have been solid, but they seem like a blah fanbase overall
KU - fun for football, absolute **** lickers come basketball season
Baylor - Burn in hell for eternity

I imagine ISU would rank pretty low on a list made by fans of the other B12 schools. Especially all Texas schools.
I don't think so, but I would love to see how each school collectively ranked us. I'm guessing that our fans have made a big impression around the country, good or bad. We are becoming successful in EVERY sport, so a bit of respect for the awkward kid that's now growing up. But I'm guessing our fans would dictate the polling, again good or bad.

Way up there
1. K State- always enjoy going to BSFS, fans are a lot like ours
2. Okie Lite- we kind of seem like Okie Lite Lite
3. UT- national recognition
4. OU- ^ + some residual of cheering for them against Tom Osborne
5. Tech- entertaining to watch, decent in most sports but beatable
6.WV- good fans but Holgs....
7.TCU- All of their fans seem like they belong to a country club
8.KU- the basketball equivalent to Husker football fans
9. Baylor- been summed up by every other post

1. Texas: Love or hate it, we don't have them, we're not a top tier conference. Plus always a big deal to beat them.
2. Kansas: Fun road trip/win in football and basketball rivalry.
3. Oklahoma: Hardest win to get in football and they're a national draw.
4. Kansas State: A lot like us. Loyal fan base, tough at home, not a great recruiting footprint.
5. Oklahoma State:
6. West Virginia:
7. Texas Tech
8. TCU
9. Baylor: the only program I would be happy to have gone.

Go read other schools' boards. A lot of other fanbases like our fans a lot, especially people who have come to Ames for a game.

There's a universal distaste for how much we boo at refs, but that's about all anyone has bad to say about ISU.

We don't want to boo so much at the refs, but they leave us no choice!

KSU
Kansas - FB is harmless but BB makes up for it.
OU - Hate the horns down thing - horns down even when not playing Texas - WTF?
Texas - Ego EGO EGO
TCU - Still doesn't seem right to have them.
Tech - Always seem to be ass hats and I've heard their fans are the worst in the Big 12 to visiting teams
WVU - See post #10
Baylor - obvious

How much I miss old Big 8 schools:
Missouri - All Mizzou fans I know left the league kicking and screaming being dragged by their hair.
Colorado - Would have like to go to road games there but never made it.
A&M - Weirdos
Nebraska - Entitlement City, capital of state of Nebraska.

My ratings primarily have to do with how much I like them vs what they "bring to the table" in the BigXII.
1. Ok State - They used to be on the lower end of the scale when I was at ISU (during the Byron Houston years of basketball - dirty, dirty player & we never won there). Nowadays, I generally like them & cheer for them the most - after ISU of course.
2. KU - I may be in the minority here, & I don't deny that they get extremely favorable treatment at the Phog, but my eldest niece attended and graduated from there - so they are ranked higher here.
3. OU - Lon is a class act & the fact that Hawkeye Bobby Stoops is no longer coaching make them my pick here.
4. TCU - Patterson & Dixon are tolerable
5. TTU - I hoped that Kingsbury had stayed (we have a good record against him) & Beard seems to be classy
6. WVU - Can't stand Thuggs & Basketbrawl. Holgy is annoying - but we have beaten him with some regularity (they are moving down my list, however)
7. KSU - They used to be the lowest one on my list. However, we finally beat the Vampire, he has retired, & I also have a nephew & niece who attend school there.
8. UT - The embodiment of arrogance (almost on par with the Hok fan base)
9. FUBU - Should kick them out of the conference!
