Favorite Iowa wins over Nebraska (Ferentz years)
- Thread starter HawkNorth
- Start date
Your first poll choice has the wrong year. The hawks beat nebby in 2013 at Nebby and but in 2014 the hawks blew two 17 point leads to lose in OT.
I loved all those wins for various reasons. Some were total beatdowns and some were last second rip their hearts our winners. But 2015, when nebby fans were frothing for them to end our unbeaten season the hawks just pounded them with big plays, smart sound football, etc etc.
Have to include last year.
Our pathetic QB throws a pick to put them into last-drive win position on their home field. Yet somehow they manage to hand it back to us, give up a 25 yard run and our backup kicker beats them on a walk-off.

Watching Iowa beat Nebraska is about as exciting as a win over Minnesota.
Meh.
Meh.
You realize these are both trophy games that are about as important as it gets to the members of Iowa's team, correct?
I guess I don't understand what you're saying. Are the wins less exciting to you because Iowa beats those teams nearly every year? If dominance in trophy games isn't exciting, I guess I don't know what you're looking for.
You are a Hawkeye fan, correct? Maybe just having a down day?
Yes, I am a Hawkeye fan.
Was just throwing some shade at Nebraska to reiterate how irrelevant they are. 😝
any game that ends with a kiss has to rank pretty high.
It's hard to beat 2015. Not because of the game itself but because of that high we all felt after going 12-0.
What a season that was. It just kept getting better and better and better, all the way up to the amazing moment that the Beathard to Smith bomb in Big Ten title game was (only play in sports history I've gotten goosebumps from live), right before the bottom fell out and the rest of the season literally could not have been any more torturous.

Nothing makes me happier than a little Debbie beat down.
Ahh, well that makes sense.
But remember how good they were in the 70's and 90's?🤣
Look no further than HawkeyeFanCFPdelusion for your reason. What kind of loser is he? Pretty sad.
He's basically a typical Husker fan. That kind of loser.
Marshall Meeder kicking a 33 yard field goal 34 yards to beat debbie last season was hilarious.
I'd like to see one again, for a change. It's been several years.
Love their “well, those wins were against the worst teams in the history of the program so enjoy it while you can.”
Boy, they sure do have a lot of worst teams in the history of the program year after year. They just can’t face their existence as a power house has come and gone. And they sure love to look down their noses at all the teams in the B1G minus Michigan and tOSU, even though they are at the bottom of the standings always looking up at everyone else, minus one year in 14 seasons.

I dunno. It was pretty fun dashing their bowl hopes and extending the drought last year. It doesn't get much better than that.
I'm referring to anytime they lose. Not just when we beat them.
Oh, I'm definitely on board with that.
Can't recall if it was 2016 or 17, but it was at Nebraska, I was with a gal who grew up in Nebraska and who's family is from Nebraska and all big Husker fans, so when we went to Nebraska for Thanksgiving, I took her to her first game. All the Husker fans on the west side of the stadium were leaving via that walking bridge after just a few min into the 4th quarter. It was a glorious sight.
Had to be 2017 for the 56-14 beatdown - it was great . Noah fant doing pylon dives and football spins in the endzone. Being from omaha I'm sure he rubbed all those husker fans remaining in the stands the wrong way. Hilarious
2023 was a nice win. It was a quintessential Iowa performance resulting in a last minute win.
I like the earlier ones where we had weapons on offense and had teams that could compete with top teams
You are right. I want to change my vote to 2023.
I’m pretty sure Nebraska won the offseason again, so laugh while you can, cause they’re back for real this time.
They are on to county fairs, show pigs and funnel cakes for a few months now.
I attended the 2017 game as well. It was my first visit to their stadium. I was concerned at halftime when the score was 14-14. The remaining 42 points scored in the game were by the Hawkeyes and great was the departure of the loyal Nebby fans.
Yeah it was rather enjoyable. The exodus is what amazed me. Idk, I grew up in a small town and back then everyone showed up for games, if they had kids or not, the whole town showed up. If you won or lost, everyone stayed until the end and usually applauded no matter what the score was. Kind of Mayberry I guess. I went with my brother one time to Kinnick (he got us some nice seats in the South end zone from someone he knows) because I thought we had turned the corner that year and we would beat Wisconsin. This is back when Wisconsin was rolling pretty good, maybe a few years after the the Nebraska trip. SO maybe 2019?? The Hawks just could not get it done, but never not once did my brother or I think about leaving before the game was over. So yeah that mass exodus in Nebraska was a sight to see, from "real fans". But we thumped them pretty goof too. Lol
