Michigan and Iowa have some good heat in both sports. But our rivalry is more respectful.
You think UM fans would be big time arrogant, but they are some of the nicest fans in person. I think there is a mutual respect among the fanbases

The part about dragonhawk has me actually laughing in my car RollLaughRollLaughRollLaugh
My most hated schools have gone like this:
Early 2000s: Ohio State because that’s what I learned as our biggest rival.
2008: Michigan State when I went to college and met a bunch of MSU fans.
2012: MSU/Indiana when I met Borden, SNU, and Free Radical.
2015: MSU after Free Radical disappeared and I started getting along with Borden and SNU.
2020: Iowa

Delany did a nice job killing off the Wisconsin-MSU rivalry just as it was picking up steam
I think this about sums it up. It depends on who's good and when, and also who you're around. Indiana doesn't think we're a rival because we haven't been good at the same time in the past 20 years. That's fair, and, frankly, I don't consider them one of our rivals either. But there are times where I really hate them.
Illinois' top-3 rivals right now are Mizzou, Iowa, and NW. Some other guys float in and out, and I imagine that our players have different teams that they hate more than who I hate.
In football? CMD's tanking is what killed it.
Not much of a rivalry in basketball lately. You owned us for the past three years.
And he tried to kill the Iowa vs Wisconsin rivalry. We didn't play them for quite a few years when they were in the division with OSU
He was trying to give Iowa and Nebraska some couple therapy time.
Not playing in 2013, 2014, and 2015 when MSU was playing at an elite level killed the rivalry. Especially after the 4 games leading into the hiatus.
Going into EL in 2016 had me worried big time, but by then CMD already had one foot out of the door.
The day MSU football died.
A lot of people point to the Alabama playoff game the previous year...but for me it was the ‘16 Wisconsin game.
Fret not. From my personal experience, Bucky Mel is good at what he does. SmokinSmile Plus, Gilmore is a very good addition.

Hey now, remember after our second game this year, Michigan is a true friend of the Iowa Hawkeyes.......Winking
He's like Hydra. Ban one of his avatars and he'll register nine more.
After tonight, I think the seeding goes to this
1 Maryland
2 MSU/Iowa
3 Illinois
4 Wisconsin
5 PSU
6 MSU/Iowa
...
If I'm not mistaken. Illinois is 2-0 vs Wiscy and PSU. Wiscy is 1-1. PSU is 0-2.
The symptoms of it are scary. You can die from it, and in extreme cases it affects your ability to read or even login. Crazy.
Shame such a talent got marooned at Purdue...woulda been a great Illini
He's gone after this year, right?
Where is he going? Pros? Transfer?Shame such a talent got marooned at Purdue...woulda been a great Illini

Best trade ever: Nojel Eastern for a washing machine.
I wanna go out at the top of my game.....Oh who am I kidding I just got traded for a washing machine.
Nah - it was a specific play. Player did not have control of the ball. It was a loose ball situation, player dove, got possession while sliding. Never travel in that situation.
