Is Iowa Better Than Florida? Yes.

Hey, who wants to talk about basketball? Us neither! So imagine our relief when we saw that Orson was opening back up the Fulmer Cup for this interminable off-season. But then he drops this shitbomb on us unsuspecting readers:

Iowa, a program undoubtedly the most lawless over the brief span of the Fulmer Cup’s existence, has never won the Cup despite having people arrested constantly for little two and three point crimes.

Oh please. Like Iowa has anyone on their roster who has an assault weapons charge. And what a euphemism that is. "Assault weapon." No, fists are assault weapons. AK-47s and other automatic rifles aren't used for assault, they are used for SUPER MURDER. But, as it turns out, the kid's just really good at defensive tackle, so back onto the team you go, la dee da! That is a lawless program, sir.

So that got us to thinking... how else is Iowa better than Florida. The answers were astonishing. So much so that one could reasonably, coherently proclaim that the real national champions were right here in the Corn State, and pretenders wear orange and blue. Let's get right to it.

Star-divide

Point: Florida won the BCS Title game.

Counterpoint: Iowa crushed their bowl opponent so badly that they went from unranked (#26, technically) all the way up to #20, a 6-point move. Meanwhile, Florida's blase-at-best win over the ludicrously overrated Big XII South didn't move them an inch in the polls; they were #1 coming into the contest. As a matter of fact, even with a win in what should have been the title game, many voters were still compelled to vote for someone else. Ergo, Iowa performed better than Florida in the bowl, and it is only reasonable to infer that they would continue to do so over the course of a year--or head-to-head.

Point: But Florida beat Oklahoma, the #2 team in the nation.

Counterpoint: This makes Oklahoma's fifth straight BCS loss. What does Bob Stoops do, gentlemen? Bob Stoops loses BCS games. So what makes you think that'd be any different if Iowa were lining up against the Sooners? It would be no different. I'd say Iowa 38, OU 20. Couple late TDs for the Soo Crew.

Point: Tim Tebow.

Counterpoint: Let's see... intimidating physical advantage, singular drive for success, weird last name that rhymes with "Bevo"... yes, I think we've heard this story before:

Tim-deebo_medium
TIM DEEBO.

And, yes, of course Deebo is coming back for one more season. This isn't the way Deebo's story ends. This is:

Are we saying, then, that Dick Stanzi is exactly like Ice Cube? Yes, sure.

Point: The 2006 Outback Bowl.

Counterpoint: DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE.

Point: Every Day Should Be Saturday.

Counterpoint: "Every day ain't Saturday, dude." - "First in Flight," Blazing Arrow, Blackalicious. You tell me they're wrong.

Conclusion: Florida is ducking Iowa because they know Iowa would throttle them. And Urban Meyer, please get a real fucking name.

Sweet

Now I can totally say that my team lost to the national champions.

Florida has 5 guys named 'Brandon' on their roster

That’s almost 6% of their team.

This is far too many Brandons for them to be taken seriously.

No self-respecting man from Iowa goes anywhere without beer

LOVED THIS! I live in florida and the betty davis eyes sissypants baby jesus tehype shit 24/7 you dont EVEN know how much that turd needs to disappear. I knew that coward would come back for his senior year because the guy is all about ME ME ME and mostly acts like a 3rd grader. doing the chop like a poor sport and then tells us how he is holier than thou. I cant wait until ray lewis plows the living shit out of this sissypants girly girl. but of course thats never going to happen because hes not playing one down in the nfl and he knows it. not even the gaguars who draft gaturds every year would be that stupid this time

being a hawkeye in florida…they may rip the big ten but they shut the fuck up about iowa because they know I will bring up every play of 2004 and mostly every ripoff of 2006. turds! they are all turds. a bunch of turds. turdsville. florida the turd state

Yikes

not sure how you really feel but I think I want to watch a game with you next time we play a sec team.

I prefer to look on the field for my proof.....

OPS will give you his solid statistical and factual breakdown to prove why Iowa is better, and the Mustache Ride will invoke the superfluous Brandon clause, but as for myself, I need to see the proof in the pudding.

Iowa beat South Carolina
South Carolina beat Ole Miss
Ole Miss beat Florida

Ipso facto…Iowa beats Florida.

Fit me for my ring, Bitches!!

In a similar vein

Florida beat Oklahoma
Oklahoma beat Nebraska
Nebraska beat Iowa State
Iowa beat Iowa State
UNLV beat Iowa State
etc. etc. etc. beat Iowa State

Proving once again that Iowa State sucks.

With a gat that's pointed at yo ass

So give it up smooth
Ain’t no tellin when I’m down for a jack move
Here’s a murder rap to keep yo dancin
With a crime record like Charles Manson Plaxico
AK-47 is the tool
Don’t make me act the motherf~*kin fool

this place smells like feet. i’ll bring a can of lysol next week.

by pfac51 on Jan 12, 2009 10:57 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Good Job you!!!

You made your rap lyrics relevant to today’s pop culture!! I identify with Plaxico WAY much more than Charles Manson, especially when Super Murder is part of the discussion. I love n-words with attitude.

THat picture is a big fat phony

I’ve seen the original somewhere.

Plus, 1— Erin Andrews pictures, guys? Seriously? You guys couldn’t hit up Busted Coverage for that shit? Let’s not try to scare off the few female readers we do have.

2—Even if he did pull off the perv grab—and to reiterate, he did not—at least she’s not the one with raging Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and a fucking FANNY PACK.

Holy crap

They think this is SERIOUS. Oh. My. Lord. I try to defend my Cyclone brethren, because I’m a pro-state of Iowa type of guy, but fuckbeans, this makes it hard. Too many ISU fans are 100% fucking stupid. Too often, I find myself using the words “raging fucking dolt” and “ISU fan” in the same sentence. That’s a shame.

by imadirtyoldman on Jan 13, 2009 4:43 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, I was pretty much a "I'll root for them 'cuz they're from Iowa" kind of guy...

…Until I started frequenting CycloneFanatic. Fuck those pathetic jort-wearing dickbags. I hope they lose every game in every sport forever the end.

OPS, did you just reference Dope for one of your counterpoints?

If you did and knew that is who you were referencing I would be impressed

by shada's revenge on Jan 14, 2009 3:36 AM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Answer

Yes I did, no I didn’t except as “that song from the Office Space scene with the copier that encapsulates my feelings about that motherfucking Outback bowl perfectly”
