FSU to the B1G

So when someone says FSU wouldn't go undefeated this year, you hear FSU would be middle of the pack?
If one thing this CFP pageantry escapade has taught me, it's that it doesn't do anyone any good to speculate. If FSU was in the B1G this past year we may have gone undefeated or maybe we'd have gone .500. Iowa's defensive success gives me a strong gut feeling we'd have at least had a strong winning record. That's about as far as I'll take it. Time will tell going forward when the games playout on the field.
 
I am taking notes and everyone of you blasphemous ****ers comparing us to Nebby is NOT getting an invite to the tailgate at Doak.
Write this down fella. You will never be as good as Nebraska once was. If you don’t believe me, just visit the football board.
 
To be fair, just a year ago we had to listen to ALL of you tell us that our program was dead and that you'd love to kick our asses.
We have a little bit of ptsd over insults to the program.
I guess I would need to see the posts, and who "you" means in "you'd". I think almost every Iowa fan would agree, if they were being serious, FSU would beat Iowa more times than not, except for a couple of seasons where you hit rock bottom. Now, if "you" means the Big Ten in general, I could see some posters saying that some ass kicking would be dispensed, from time to time, by OSU and Michigan.

True...FSU would have been no worse than 3rd in the BIG this year

He said "it doesn't do anyone any good to speculate" and that "Iowa's defensive success gives me a strong gut feeling we'd have at least had a strong winning record. That's about as far as I'll take it." Your response was "True...FSU would have been no worse than 3rd in the BIG this year." That is exactly the opposite of the point he made.

Oh, I'm too lazy to search but there was a LOT of "Iowa would kick your ass" going on about a year and a half ago until the end of last season. Pretty sure Torbee led the charge but my memory is shitty.

Yep, remember it vividly

I don't have to visit their message board, I lived in Omaha for three years...including 1997 when they won that co Natty with Michigan with a very average team that played nobody. I know all about the Husker Cult.

I would think almost all of that was tongue in cheek, or in reference to the seasons spanning from 2017 through 2021. During that same time period, Iowa had some pretty good teams that were really physical, and some of those games would likely have resulted in wins for Iowa. But taking the 30-year long view, it would be silly to argue that Iowa would dispense asskickings to FSU on a regular basis.

It was just good fun - kicking us while we were down. Hell, many FSU fans agreed. But none of us forgot. :D

I meant our football board. There are plenty of trolls who love to bring up their past successes. Sorry you had to live in Omaha.

People seem to exaggerate a lot. For example, I constantly see posters say we kick Nebraska's ass/beat the sh*t out of them/etc. every year, when in reality it's usually a pretty close game.

2023: W, 13-10
2022: L, 24-17
2021: W, 28-21
2020: W, 26-20
2019: W, 27-24
2018: W, 31-28
2017: W, 56-14 🤌
2016: W, 40-10 🤌
2015: W, 28-20
2014: L, 37-34
2013: W, 38-17 👍
2012: L, 13-7
Etc.

There were a couple of good beatings but overall very close games. I find it stupid when I see fellow Hawk fans saying we always kick their ass (but am of course always happy for a win).

And give up a damn near sure win? No way…
Dad did this to me once, too. I was bitching non-stop about Nebber being in the B1G, and he just stopped me. He said “name just one B1G team you think would be an easier win, year in and year out.” He was BEGGING me to say Indiana, because he knew he had me. I knew he had me, too. I just shook my head and laughed.
 
Someone mentioned it earlier here, but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm not knocking it, it's just there's a LOT of pieces of the puzzle to put together to make it happen.

Secondly, FSU needs a dance partner (or 3 or 5) to make this happen.

Unless there's some sort of mathematical gymnastics that makes 19 being an easier football schedule for all, I just don't see them doing this alone. They're not going to want to go without having a partner as far as some sort of in-conference "familiar face". Someone they can look across the sidelines and say "hey, I know YOUUUUUUU...I KNOW YOU!"

FSU: We would like to join your conference.

B1G: Go get Notre Dame to come with. Give us a call when you make that happen.

Uh yeah we’re still waiting for an ass kicking from either one of those guys.
OSU HAS NEVER BEATEN US
MICHIGAN HAS NEVER KICKED OUR ASS EITHER…
But we HAVE kicked theirs. 😉😈

This movie was a prognostication of what will happen when ESU, errr, FSU ever crosses paths with the Hawkeyes. Everyone knows that team in the movie was based on FSU.

Why did you skip 2017? That one was the most fun in my opinion
 
You realize FSU has a winning record against the B1G, right?

2-1 vs Michigan
3-0 vs OSU
1-1 vs Penn State
21-2 vs Maryland
6-2 vs Nebraska
2-0 vs Mich St
1-0 vs Wisconsin
1-0 vs Indiana

35-6 FSU vs B1G

*Teams not listed, we haven't played
This is disingenuous, and you all know it.

Better throw in the disclaimer; yes, FSU is better than Iowa.
