Big-10 FB teams compared to European countries

[Solar Stud]

I received this as an email and thought I'd share. ;D




ILLINOIS : Greece

Once a powerhouse, now little more than an insignificant clan of people who
talk funny and complain a lot.



INDIANA : Ireland

A very proud people who tend to overlook certain types bad behavior. Using
the f-word repeatedly is acceptable.



IOWA : Ukraine

Detached from the rest of Europe and really should be part of Asia . Covered
with corn fields. Appeared to be emerging as a regional power, but returned
to mediocrity very quickly.



MICHIGAN : Germany

A rich history, tons of talent, but a tendency to employ leaders who are
power-crazed, loud-mouthed lunatics who always seem to louse things up.
Germany 's citizens are always ready to tell you they're superior. When asked

about recent history, they tend to get quiet quickly.



MICHIGAN STATE : Austria

Germany 's slow, loud, self-conscious and far less accomplished neighbor.



MINNESOTA : Sweden

Liberal whack jobs covered in snow.



NORTHWESTERN: Netherlands

Citizens of other European countries (and the world) come here to get stoned

and drunk, ravage the natives, then leave.



OHIO STATE : France

Pound for pound the most insufferable, arrogant pricks on the planet. Weak
leaders who appear to be accomplices in their humiliating defeats. Holding
their own against Germany at the moment, but everyone knows it's only a
matter of time before the tanks are rolling again.



PENN STATE : United Kingdom

Used to run the world. Run by a beloved, geriatric figurehead who simply
refuses to retire.



PURDUE: Norway

The secret to Norway 's marginal success is that it's so boring, no one pays
it any attention.



WISCONSIN : Poland

Filled with hulking pasty-white drunks with "ski" at the end of their last
name. Looks tough, but easily rolled. Lots of jokes are made at their
expense.

Brilliant!!!

This was on HN a few weeks ago. I wrote a much funnier version of it. I will have to look for it.

[GhostMod 5000]

Here is the funny version of the list...

Illinois-Hungary: A complete cultural backwater, except for one city. While they are rarely a significant power, the minds of the people fail to realize this.

Indiana-The Netherlands: Had a period in history when they were dominant, but now seem better for a drunken weekend.

Iowa-Ireland: Small and easy to forget about, however the people are fiercely loyal and scattered all over the United States. For some reason, most people seem to like them.

Michigan-Russia: They used to be really bad ass, but now they talk about what could be and what they used to be. Completely dominated by the other superpower.

Michigan St.-Ukraine: Really big, should be powerful, but still living in the shadow of their big brother.

Minnesota-Iceland: Cold, desolate, yet full of nice blond people. No one can remember anything important they have ever done.

Northwestern-Vatican City: Comparably tiny and located in a large city. Full of smart and rich people who are worried more about books that sports.

Ohio State-The United Kindgom: They seem like the dominat power in their own region, but on a larger scale, they are nothing compared to the real superpowers.

Penn State-Germany: At one point in history, they looked unstoppable, but now they are just another slightly above average power whose name is the most intimidating part of them.

Purdue-France: They usually look impressive on paper, but when you get really physical with them, they buckle like a pilgrim's hat.

Wisconsin-Spain: Seems out of place in their region, as many of the local customs are completely asinine. Good at drinking, pushing people around, and complaining.

I didn't necessarily laugh at any of them but I would say Seth's is more creative and perhaps historically accurate...but what do I know.

[GhostMod 5000]

I can assure you that my list is entirely historically accurate. It is not, however, original.
