Never forget: We still, and always will, hate Iowa.
This is the seventh season since Jim Delaney made us permanent bitter rivals, and fourth since we were placed in the same division as the hated Hawkeyes. They will always be Our Most Hated Rivals, and it burns that they have won 6 of the last 7 meetings and 8 of the last 10.
We do owe them a thank you, however. Last season they were the coach killer. They came to West Lafayette and a completely dominant first half is what ended up sealing the fate of one Darrell Hazell a week after he had saved himself with a win at Illinois.
