College football just got messy. In the wake of Iowa State’s 24-21 win over Kansas State in Dublin, the Big 12 Conference and both athletic departments have come under fire for pushing away from the iconic “Farmageddon” name. What started as one of the coolest rivalry monikers in college football is suddenly being silenced — and fans are furious. In this episode, we break down: ✅ Why the Big 12 and ADs Jamie Pollard (Iowa State) & Gene Taylor (K-State) are distancing from Farmageddon ✅ The history of the rivalry dating back to 1917 and why it MUST be protected ✅ Reaction to Kansas State’s statement claiming they “never officially adopted” the Farmageddon name (despite old social posts proving otherwise) ✅ Whether this push is coming more from Iowa State or Kansas State leadership — and what it means for the future ✅ How marketing, tradition, and fan culture are being ignored in favor of “corporate branding” Plus, we dive into the on-field fallout from Dublin — Avery Johnson’s play, Dylan Edwards’ injury impact, and what both programs need to do to stay in the Big 12 title hunt. 👀 This isn’t just about a nickname. It’s about history, passion, and respect for one of the longest-running rivalries in college football. 📢 Sound off in the comments: Should the Big 12 BAN Farmageddon? Or is this one of the dumbest moves in conference history? #Farmageddon #KState #IowaState #Big12 #CollegeFootball We have an important request. Locked On wants to hear from you.
