Ah, the age-old question that plagues college sports fans: where in the world am I supposed to watch this epic Iowa vs. Illinois throwdown? Fear not, my friend, for I am here to shed light on this most perplexing of mysteries.
First things first, is this a football or basketball battle we're talking about? Because depending on the season, these two heartland heroes throw down on different battlegrounds (metaphorically speaking, of course. We don't condone actual throwing down... unless it's a celebratory high five after a win).
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
