Title: K-State V Iowa State

Will be on TV again this year. Is this really becoming a match up that people outside (and inside) the two schools are beginning to anticipate. If so has K-State really fallen that far?

I think some of it is the two years of 'Farmaggeden' played at Arrowhead and this Wiki:

Which I believe was started by our pals at goEMAW...

And think about it, Texas and OU are rivals, KU and MU are rivals, A&M and Tech don't like each other and what does that leave ?  Baylor, OSU and ISU ?

It would be appropriate for 5 football games to be played at neutral sites, with each team in one of the five games.  Last year, Texas and OU played in Dallas (for a long time actually), KU and MU played at Arrowhead as did KSU and ISU.  If you can get those matchups at neutral sites and OSU and Baylor, and A&M and Tech at neutral sites, each team can then play 4 home and 4 away conference games.  You then do 2 or 3 non-conference games and you can fund the Athletic Department (ok, maybe donations as well).

I pick OSU as our rival over ISU if we are going to start trying to manufacture rivalries.
