Every fall the NCAA football teams of the Iowa State Cyclones and the Iowa Hawkeyes play each other in the most important game of any sport in the state of Iowa. We don’t have a NFL football team or any other real professional team in any sport, so this is the biggest game we have to look forward to each year.

It’s a life or death rivalry where you must pick a side whether you like football or not. Friends become enemies, families turn on each other, and the entire state is in utter chaos!

Okay, so I may have exaggerated just a bit above, but really it is pretty close to being like that. Personally, I am a diehard Hawkeye fan, always have been and always will be.

I wrote this post to show all the cyclone fans, who every year try to argue that ISU is better than Iowa, that they are completely crazy!

So, here are some facts for all the Cyclone fans to consider…

* In the most recent game between the two teams (2009) Iowa won 35-3.

* Iowa has more than DOUBLE the wins versus Iowa State in the historical head-to-head series between the two football teams.

* Iowa has made 271 appearances in the AP poll over 35 seasons, including 106 weeks in the top 10, and appeared in 22 bowl games the past 27 seasons. ISU? Not even close!

* The Cyclones are 3–7 in bowl games all time. Iowa has a 13-10-1 record in bowl games. That’s 24 bowls for Iowa, with a winning record, against only 10 for ISU, with a losing record.

* National championships = Iowa 1, ISU 0.

* ISU has only had 90 players ever drafted to the NFL versus 223 NFL players from Iowa.

* Heisman trophy winners = Iowa 1, ISU 0.

* Consensus All-Americans = Iowa 61, ISU 4.

* The Cyclones have over 100 less wins than the Hawks all-time. ISU also has an overall losing record and the Hawks have an overall winning record.

Those are the facts and numbers don’t lie! Nobody can tell me that the Cyclones are better than the Hawkeyes! Still like the ‘clones? Yeah there’s a reason why they call Iowa the “Hawkeye State” folks!

Note: This was last updated on 1/6/10 so depending on when you read it the numbers presented above may have changed a little.

The UFC 101 salaries weren’t as high as they were for UFC 100 but they were still very good. Here are some of the reported UFC 101 payouts as bonuses in addition to the fighters regular salary…

- B.J. Penn earned $60,000 for “submission of the night”

- Forrest Griffin earned $60,000 for “fight of the night”

- Anderson Silva earned $120,000 for “fight of the night” and “knockout of the night”

Not a bad payout if you ask me! I’m sure the UFC 101 salaries for each fighter were quite substantial already and when you add a $60,000+ bonus into the mix it turns into one heck of a payday!

I wonder what internet fighting sensation and newest member of the UFC, Kimbo Slice, will get paid for his fights? He’s more famous than most of the top UFC fighters already, even though he has yet to prove himself as an MMA fighter.

There are a few reasons why you might want to turn beer green. Most of the time it’s for St. Patrick’s Day but you could also do it for a themed party, a sports team, or maybe you just like green beer! Learning how to turn beer green is really easy to do.

Here are two easy ways to turn beer green:

1) If there’s just a few of you hanging out and you want green beer all you have to do is add a few drops of green food coloring to each beer. You can find green food coloring at about any grocery store.

2) For bigger parties with kegs of beer, you should talk to the store where you are a going to buy your kegs a couple of weeks in advance and see if they can either get green beer kegs or if they can just color it for you themselves. Not all stores will accommodate this but some will so if you really want green beer you might have to do some searching.

Something to keep in mind before you buy the beer that you plan to turn green is that the darker the beer the harder it will be to turn it green. If you get too dark of a beer it will be impossible to turn it green. You’re much better off sticking with a lighter colored beer.

That’s pretty much it! Now, the next time you want to know how to turn beer green you will easily be able to do it.

It looks like there are a lot of people who want to know where New Zealand is for some reason. Therefore, I am going to tell you where New Zealand is located because I am a nice guy!

Where is New Zealand?

New Zealand is a country comprising of two main landmasses, the North Island and the South Island, and several smaller islands, and it is located in the south-western Pacific Ocean.

Its geographic isolation is highly notable as it is situated about 1250 miles (2000 km) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea. Its nearest neighbors to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga.

This country is also one of the most recently settled major landmasses in the world.

There, now you know where New Zealand is located and a little about this beautiful country!
