Hawks gifted him one game after choking a 24-7 lead
This more than anything.
Still an atrocity that they lost that game.
How did Bo Pelini go 3-1 vs Iowa?

Very possible. Schedule is brutal in '18 and couple that with all the things that goes along with a complete coaching transition, the goal should be just get to a bowl game.
But everybody knows NebOnPigLuv that you’re this handle & that handle as well.
I wish you’d just keep it simple/Old school & stick with NebOnPigLuv.
That name best represents you & the late night lovin that happens in your great state of Neb!
TNB!!!
Cause he got fired before he could lose more to us.
They did take away our abusive DL coach though, so thanks to them for that.
Because any decent coach can beat Iowa and Kirk with our talent. You guys had fun while we had Riley but he’s gone now. We have another true HC and one of the most sought after up and coming young coaches Frost. Don’t kid yourself, Huskers are about to flip this back around. Get ready for another 5-1 Huskers in the next 6 years. You Might squeak one out this year in Frosts first year but year two big brother (that’s the Huskers, you can’t claim to be big brother when you have no National Championships at all) completely wakes up and starts stomping you guys with a high octane offense and black shirts defense back to life.
56-14 in Lincoln little brother. Stop kidding yourself.
Punter not kicking the ball out of bounds and Greg Davis.
Wow lot of arrogance and ignorance in this post. One you aren't big brother anymore, you may have been 20-30 years ago but times have changed. If you've been outscored 124-44 last 3 games and gone 0-3 tough to make that claim. I know it's tough to grasp but it's not the 90s anymore. But with your logic Minnesota is your big bro because they have multiple national titles from the 30s and 40s. Second Iowa does techincally have a national title from the 50s. Lastly as for the black shirts I've been listening to the this rejuvenated D crap since Osbourne left and it hasn't happened. Times have changed but yeah you bring in an offensive minded coach who had a porous D at his last stop but I'm sure he'll make your pink shirt D legit....
But thanks for the good laugh the hubris of fans like yourself is amazing. If my team just got humiliated past 3 seasons last thing I'd do is going to the opposing teams board to mouth off. But please get back to us when you do something on the field since it's been a while.
56-14 don't let facts get in the way. 14 straight seasons with 4+ losses, that's another fact that proves Nebraska isn't a blue blood program anymore. Keep living in the past.
Husker fans here are like the guy in High School who is at the bar 20 years later bragging about how great he was back in the day but now he is a nobody and NO ONE cares to listen to him talk about his glory days.
Riley didn't have a chance to succeed because he is a terrible football coach plain and simple. Scott Frost was not the coach in waiting, he would have never gone to NU until he was comfortable there was competent administration and support in place....he never would have worked under the previous inept AD.
Back in late 90s early 00s Iowa wasn't big bro but has regained the status. But over last 5, 10, 15 years winning 2/3rds of games you can make the claim as well as current 3 game win streak.
Iowa and Nebraska haven't played every year for last 40+ years like ISU so your comparison is apples and oranges. Before they joined the Big 10 it had been over 10 years since the 2 schools played which was last time Nebraska was top 10 and Iowa at it's lowest point since before Fry came. Fact Iowa is 4-3 since they started playing on a regular basis.
But to answer your ? Iowa is 4-1 past 5 years
4-3 past 10
4-5 past 15 & 20 years
So actually they don't favor Nebraska more its a tie. Basic math it's a beautiful thing.
If I could erase the GD tenure, including 2015, out of my memory I would.
Your last line is why Iowa and other fans loath and find Husker fans annoying. One the quote makes no sense. Iowa isn't a blue blood is a subjective statement which you won't find many fans say it anyways. Second what they heck does "they don't get a say in the matter" mean. What does that mean they don't get a say in who is elite? So Iowa fans, media, coaches.... who in particular? Again it's an OPINION on who is or isn't. Just like mine and plenty others fan bases don't think Nebraska is anymore. They once were but times are a changing. Lastly how many times does it take for Husker fans to understand we don't care about your history here or on another teams site. Yes you can be proud of your history but when you boast about it in the same time why you are getting destroyed on the field is just a petty defense mechanism.
Actually no genius you said better record over past 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. Iowa has better last 5 and 10. That's 2. Ok you still following. Nebraska better last 15 and 20 which is same time frame. That's 2 as well. Since joining the big 10 Nebraska is 4-3 and to my original statement I said funny how you call someone lil bro but since you've joined same conference you don't even have a winning record and have been outscored by 80pts over last 3 games. Maybe you should hold back on that until you win some more and buck the trend, no?
As for Iowa they have a better record over last 5, 10, 15, 20 etc. Minus a stretch in late 90s early 00s Iowa has won more often head to head and has had far better regular seasons in those years, bowl success and won conference and division titles and years finished ranked. Is it that tough to comprehend???
Last 20 years:

I think it was put best by a guy on BTN last year when he said Iowa and Nebraska are lot more similar than some want to believe. Iowa has had lately more higher highs and lower lows (until last season) and Nebraska been more above avg and not having really great or bad seasons. Think this post above sums it up pretty well.
That's why I was stating with Husker fan I think neither fan base is big or little bro and ludicrous to state that especially from nebraska side after last few seasons. Both programs are closer to being more equals than anything. Granted 90s yeah I will give it to them but to dismay of some fans programs have been pretty equal last 5, 10 15 years.
To be fair the UCF defense wasn’t really that bad until the last game of the regular season and then the conference championship game both of which were high scoring shootouts. IIRC they played 11 straight games because of the hurricane so they didn’t have a bye week anywhere. Then when they were fresh they had a pretty good showing against Auburn.
Also just from my observation they were by far and away better tacklers than the hideous Nebraska display I watched all year.
I think Nebraska got the right guy for them. What that means in terms of ultimate success, I do not know. But Frost is a good coach and obviously understands the culture of Nebraska and he has the complete backing of the administration and the fan base.
Their schedule is difficult this year, so making it to a bowl game would be a good season in my book. Of course, if they don't many will state it as proof that Frost can't coach when in reality Nebraska could be much better than last year and only win 5 games. It will be fun to see what the Iowa-Nebraska games are like in 2-3 years.
S&P+ ranking, probably the most comprehensive metric for college football defenses, has them as 74th best in the country. So, yeah, they were pretty bad on defense.
One thing you should consider is that Frost’s offense not only puts pressure on the opposing defense, but it puts pressure on his own teams defense as well. They have acknowledged this. When you score a lot and score quickly your defense will inevitably end up being on the field more and for more overall defensive series than other teams.
Every team’s defensive numbers would become poorer if they switched from a slower style, to this style of offense.
As a side note I believe UCF was one of the best teams at forcing turnovers this season and that’s a big point of emphasis for Frost’s defense.
Edit: Also I should mention that I don’t mean this as in UCF had some stellar defense but it was at least good enough for them to beat everyone they played.
One last thing, A blue blood is through out history (149 years to be exact) not the last 5,10,15 or when Fry arrived in Iowa City.
Nebraska is in the top 10 in winning pct and 4th in total wins All Time.
That is what a Blue Blood is.

The difference is Nebraska is on their 5th coach and Iowa has had 1.
1 individual season doesnt mean jack. Congrats on 2015, Nebraska doesnt want a 12-2 season followed by a bunch of 7-8 win seasonsbefore/after. They want to consistently win 10+ games and compete for conferences & national titles titles. Cycling through coaches is the way to do so. Nebraska could have easily kept Bo and been a decent-good team every year, but that is not what we want.
Forst looks like a hit to get to minimum of Bo Pelini level.
First off doesn't matter how many coaches you've had facts are facts and both programs have been pretty equal during this time period. Again I know it pains Husker fans to be on the same level as lowly Iowa but that's where you are and again Iowa until last year had few worse seasons but better ones as well and obtained higher rankings at end of the season. Maybe focus on getting 10 wins first before you worry about maintaining it long term since its been since 12' since you did that. As for cycling through coaches that's really worked wonders with Tennessee and others. Point is there is no right or wrong way you just think the Nebraska way is the way to go because well that's what path your team has taken. You don't think Iowa or any other team in the Big 10 or West division's goals aren't to win conference titles and compete on the national level? Outside the Ohio State's of the world most reasonable fans know they won't be competing for a playoff spot every other or every year.
As for Frost your last line is pure opinion but obviously you or I or anyone has no clue how he will be at Nebraska. Obvioiusly I get your fans are optimistic. However many were claiming here 4 years ago how Riley would and his style would continue to wipe the floor with Iowa or 7 years ago when flocks of fans came here first time saying how Pelini and Nebraska would dominate the conference.
He scored more points in three of the games and didn't in one of them.
This has been my take on it as well. I hope that I'm right.
Serious question then, is Minnesota a blue blood?
Yes but they are 8th all time with 6 national titles. ....
So second question....when does Nebraska cease to be a blue blood (if they havent already)? Is it winning percentage, titles, conference titles, last 40 years?
Criteria has to fit Husker narrative. Ignore the fact they haven't done anything this century. 14 straight seasons with 4+ losses but they are still elite....No matter what you say they will claim to be one though if you listen to any media or football analyst outside of Lincoln majority would disagree with them.
If based off wins teams like Miami will never make it even though one of the most dominant teams last 40 years even though they do nothing pres 1980s however Harvard and Yale still have some of the most wins and have some national titles since late 1800s early 1900s so guess they are too.
Nebraska and fans might as well get used to being similar to Minnesota now they are playing and losing in the B1G.
It’s not the Little 8 where Nebraska was able to pad their stats and wins by playing weak opponents every week. Hell, NW might just be Nebraska’s rival since they beat them on a regular basis. Keep up the delusion Nebraska fans, keep it up.
and a lot of braska fans will have the same IF he doesn't
since we're talking about IFs
Is it really that brutal?
MSU has plenty of issues going on.
Jimmy doesn't seem to have an answer at MI.
Bowl game? You guys keep coming talking about all this great talent and how you need a new coach. You still have all this wonderful talent and god's gift to coaching. Now 6 wins is the goal?
Making excuses already?
My thought has always been that one of the “requirements” for being a blue blood was a .700 win % and Nebraska recently fell below that and sit at .695. So I would say Nebraska is currently on probation. If we continue trending down blue blood status will cease. If Frost is a success, blue blood status will be retained.
i guess top 10 finishes the last 17 years don't matter either......
So we can't use the 3 most recent seasons?
The seasons that have the biggest impact on this year are seasons in the 80s or 90s right?
What amazes me is how we have hovered anywhere from mediocre to total shit for the last 17 years and we still have all-time stats that are blue-blood worthy. Just shows how much cushion we had built up. It’s been a shitty 17 years man...
Will this answer you’re question.At present
687-515-41 0.5619
41 in winning pct of 115 Division 1 teams.
They were a national power up until 1960.
They are below .500 since 1960 58 years.
Nebraska is 20th the last 20 years 0.6602
Dayum, so over 1/3 of d1 teams are blue bloods?
I never would have guessed!
a bunch of your cronies were just saying that overall win % is what makes a blue blood
do you comprehend genius?
