Kid Gleason Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I like Dubuque, so Iowa gets my preference. As for "icky" states? Any that are hot. I don't like the heat at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the heat at all. And I can't stand the cold. I'm longing for Arizona again. 48 degrees in faronheight today (which I know sounds quite pleasant to you Chicago people come Winter Time).

I don't like the heat at all. Dubuque, except for the minute downtown area is kind of a craphole. Went there for a wedding last year... Never been to Nebraska or West of the Amana colonies in Iowa, but Iowa isn't that bad. Hilly, green, and Iowa City is nice. If I had to choose the worst state I have been in...I think it would have to be Oklahoma. If I never step foot in that state again, it would be too soon.

whitesoxin' Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) Personally I would nuke Indiana south of Highway 30, and east of Highway 39, but that is just me. Phew, I'm one mile north of 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) I like both states because the hunting and fishing are great in both but I say Iowa is worse because of the mass Cub fans... ^^ that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) If you've ever driven out to Colorado on I-80, Nebraska just kinda feels like death. It just doesn't end either. Done that drive many times, and I seriously can't tell the difference between Iowa and Nebraska. The only thing that stands out during that drive is the giant Indian memorial overpass they have in Nebraska. Come to think of it, up until you get to the Quad Cities, the drive through Illinois ain't much different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 No offense to you people from Illinois, but I can't stand to drive through that state, especially on Interstate 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not a big Dubuque fan. Kinda off topic, but the coolest city I've driven through was Austin, Texas at night. The rest of the state is blah, but Austin was neat on I-35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Nebraska, at least Iowa is NEAR places that don't suck. I also, though, have a small grudge against Nebraskans. Like what places? Omaha? Omaha is in Nebraska. everything sucks in Iowa. At least Nebraska has a city. Omaha's population is very comparable to plenty US cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) Dated a Nebraskan. His family (mostly mom) hated me, mother would do rosaries anytime she saw me, occassionally throwing me a nasty glance before or after she would dive in. And he was kind of spinless and boring. And he refused to listen to anything but crappy smooth jazz anytime we went for a car ride. And he wore leather gloves while drive Autumn through Spring. :rolly what a good reason to pick Iowa.

rangercal Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 what does Iowa have that is bigger than the College World series? Love them or hate them The nebraska Cornhuskers are one of the winningest/storied programs in Ncaa history. That in itself gives sports fans attractions in Lincoln to stop by and see. They even have decent Gambling out there. Anyone go to Aksarben? The fishing and Hunting are great when you head out to Western Nebraska. Don't just bash Nebraska, People. Get you're facts straight.

I am sure the people of Iowa are just as great as the people of Nebraska. I am sure Notre Dame fans can tell you (when Nebraska visited South Bend) Nebraska fans are classy and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. It reflects on the majority of the state. I had plenty of good times out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
