The football season is fast approaching, which means most reputable blogs are busy publishing previews of their upcoming opponents, including our SBN blog-buddies enemies, Hammer & Rails. They got around to their Iowa preview last week and SHOTS WERE FIRED, SIRS AND MADAMS:
And so the hatred comes to the fore. Forget Indiana-Purdue, Ohio State-Michigan, or even the new heroes game. Here is a rivalry so bitter that Jim Delaney himself ordered a two-year cooling off period in 2009 and 2010 as he feared it would spill over into an all-out war.

GO IOWA AWESOME.
