It is believed that we can reveal a part of the subconscious by playing a simple game of word association. We can peel back the layers of emotional onion that cover our psyche and reveal a great deal about ourselves. I sent a list of Iowan phrases (mostly people) to Dane and Winfield in order to find out what they really think about Iowa at a subconscious level. Here are the phrases, Winfield's answers in italics, and Dane's answers underlined:
1. Corn -- Field of Dreams -- Boring Drives
2. Robert Gallery -- Lots of hair -- P***y
3. Seneca Wallace -- Seahawks -- Indian
4. Drew Tate -- Who? -- Taint
5. Bob Stoops -- Oklahoma -- LOLklahoma
6. Hawkeye -- WTF? -- Avengers
7. Johnny Carson -- Tonight Show -- Karnak
8. John Wayne -- "Hello Pilgrim" -- Poop
9. Buffalo Bill Cody -- Funny mustache -- Child trader
10. Des Moines -- Boring -- Eddie Bauer
11. Elijah Wood -- Hobbit -- Midget
12. Shawn Johnson -- Jail bait -- CHAMPION
13. Herbert Hoover -- Great Depression -- Failure
I hope you all picked up a strong sports background for Winfield. He obviously grew up out there and has a little respect for the Midwest. Dane has a distaste for the Midwest only matched by his ability to devour ears of corn by the tonne. Give us your thoughts.

Seneca Wallace!
My HERO from freshman year of college. I was a huge Iowa STATE fan (not Iowa) and he took them up to no. 9 in the country, only to flame out the rest of the season…
My second reaction to the first question
was ‘grits’.
My God do I love grits.
And I did my best to give my honest initial reaction. My answers are valid – they could be analyzed by a psychologist; however, delving into my mind is like seeing Cthulhu. I don’t reccomend it – you are pretty much guaranteed to go insane
They have Waffle Houses here in Louisville
but they can’t get the grits right. I had grits at a Waffle House in Richmond, Kentucky, and they were pretty good, but they served them in a BOWL.
Kentuckians may SOUND Southern, but they aren’t.
My years living in Illinois forced me to learn to cook grits and greens and cornbread without sugar and other common, every-day foods that these damned Midwesterns have no clue about. And you’d think, given that about 97% of Illinois and Iowa are covered with corn in the summer that they’d know how to prepare grits and corn bread. But no.
That's a damn shame
Grits belong slathered over toast and eggs with salt and butter. It’s God’s way of eating grits.
At least they didn't want to add milk and sugar to it,
as they suggested at a Quad Cities restaurant. I guess they think because grits look like cream of wheat they should taste like it.
It was the Machine Shed in Davenport, to be specific about which of the Quad Cities, just to keep our new Iowa friends involved.

Ugh
That is foul. It’s like Virginia claiming to be a southern state yet no where do they serve sweet iced tea. When you ask for it, they bring you this cranberry crap that is steaming, a cup of ice, and point you to the Sweet-N-Low. Drives me crazy.

Yeah, Seneca Wallace... ok
My favorite Georgia Tech players of all time are
1. Herschel Walker
2. Champ Bailey
3. Bo Jackson
4. Charlie Whitehurst
5. Tinky Winky the Teletubbie
And that bulldog you guys have on the sidelines is SOOO cool.
Brunettes not fighter jets
you just wish you had this highlight

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
Nah, we normally didn't let highlights like that happen.

Not really.
There’s a joke around these parts that goes somewhat like this:
Q: How many Cyclone fans does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Five. One to spin the bulb and four to talk about how great Seneca Wallace was.
Since, you know, he’s the only ISU player ever to have a highlight.

Your forgetting Todd Blythe

Plus, "The Exorcist" was filmed there.
How fucking sweet is that??!!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't
I happen to know the school where most of the Exorcist was filmed. And it wasn’t in Georgia.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Sure it was!
The famous M Street steps, right there in Marietta!

Silly Bucket,
You’re thinking of M Street for Mercer University in Macon. Don’t worry, happens all the time.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I don't know...
There is an apartment complex near Tech called M Street and it is much scarier than the exorcist.
Oh yeah, Mercer...
Good Jesuit school.

Athens is a very cool campus
in extremely small doses, when you are 18 and armed with a fake ID. Its not as much fun to go downtown when you are 22 years old and realize that you are hitting on women who were born in the 90’s. It’s just strange.
Ain't nuthin wrong with that
Granted, you gotta make sure she was born in the VERY early 90s.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
As 2nd year student born in 1990...
…I see nothing wrong with this.
There isn't.
BUT when you are in a bar, you should never have to wonder, “Man, is this chick actually 18?” It’s a very dangerous yes or no variable that should not have to be considered after drinking.
Remember that if a woman tells you she’s 20 and looks 16 – she’s 12.
hahaha
i am amused
The college football season is so fragile. It's like a glass ball being pushed around from stadium to stadium by a rhinoceros.
