The 70th matchup between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones is this Saturday (September 7), and it is one of the most fun games of the year for fans of both teams.

The 2 biggest and most popular colleges in the state battle it out and fans hope to enjoy bragging rights at the office, on social media, or in their own houses! If a husband is a fan of one school and the wife is a fan of another school, you know they're hoping to bring up their team winning at the family Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner!

Not every state has a football rivalry like this that they can get excited about and it's so much fun to see everyone showing off their school spirit throughout the state. Sure, pretty much every school has some rivalry with a certain team but not every college has a big in-state rival to get excited about.
