Revel in the Rivalry: Submit Your Best Iowa/Iowa State Comments

It's Iowa versus Iowa State week. Submit your best thoughts -- if you have any -- about your school rival.

The Hawkeyes and Cyclones football teams are set for their yearly battle this Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium, and that means Iowans are engaging in the time-honored activity of dissing each other's teams, schools and universities.

Whether from Ames, Iowa City, Ankeny, Waukee, Urbandale or points further afar, this is a week when, if football fans don't have something nice to say about somebody, they say it anyway.

Yes, the trash talk has begun in full force, and we want some of your best digs at the other side. Keep it clean, but otherwise there are no rules in love and rivalry games. Here are a few fine examples from Twitter to get you started. Submit your trashtalk in the comments below.
