I would rather keep the Black Friday game with Nebraska, over playing Wisconsin

Eastern Iowa, and I hate Wisconsin, like no other. But the smart bet is Nebraska. The heat has always been there, and its getting real. Plus I have a lot of friends from there.

I knew we had one of the best teams, probably top 10, the last 15 years, top 3 in the BT, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see so many hawks fans sporting hawk gear at the SB.
I live in London and can’t turn around without seeing a tourist in hawk gear. Our brand is definitely top 5 in all of CFB.

I have walked through many airports and heard, Go Hawks or On Iowa, because I had my gear on. I do it too. Love this state. And love to run into a Hawkeye on the road. Loud and proud baby!!!

It is crazy how much bigger the Iowa fan base is when compared to Nebber’s!

Don’t let NebOnPigLuv fool you. He’s a Nebber, missing teeth & all.
 
Man I love Iowa as a state and school. So proud. We have top 10 team over last 15 years, top 3 brand in BT, we routinely route bucknuts and nebbers. Our message board is definitely Top 2-3. Our players in the NFL try harder and play better. I’d put the hawks up against any team in the nation, make it a night game at kinnick and we win 9 out of 10 against Bama.
 
As long as we play that Friday. In all honesty we should all end the season wifh Minny, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska and just rotate with a home and home every two years

I’d like to keep it Nebraska-Iowa as well. I know Nebraska hasn’t been competitive the last couple years, but I like the rivalry building between the two schools. Been a rough couple years, but Nebraska won’t be down forever.

Friday game should be against Nebraska. Iowa needs the game for national attention. Nebraska is a bigger draw than Wisc. Always will be. Add in Frost against KF and it's a no brainer.

People aren't going to tune in to watch us demolish them again. They want to tune in to a good game.

Wisconsin provides that.
Nebraska doesn't.

Nebraska provides a better draw maybe for the over 49 demographic.
 
I'm from NW Iowa and I would definitely rather have Iowa end the regular season with Nebraska than Wisconsin. I see Nebraska more as our rival, plus now that they have Frost as their coach they'll be more competitive than they have been in the last 5 years or so.

Wisconsin is Iowa's real rival. Like it or not they are. So when we play them at the end it will be glorious. Maybe it will be brutal cold and snow to make it real.
 
Whether we like it or not, Iowa - along with Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin - are all joined at the hip in this conference. These 4 should all play each other as the last 3 games on each's schedule.

Then, give the west a showcase day for the conference. Three games at 11, 3 and 630 (Illinois/NW being the 3rd west game). Then give the rest of the conference the following Saturday.

By say week 10 - they'll know whom to flex into what time slot to maximize TV sets.

Have Purdue and Indiana be the 7th game to even things out where all 14 are playing Saturday. UM/OSU of course, MSU/PSU, and Maryland/Rutgers.

If it can't be Iowa vs Nebraska every Black Friday then I like this idea. The West plays on Friday and flex the games to maximize the schedule and the East plays on Saturday.

The West will come down to Iowa v Wisconsin for literally the next 10 years, so making it the BFG makes sense. Other than Wisconsin, we are playing at a much higher level than any other team in the West, not really even close.
 
I would kind of like the Nebraska game as the first game of the year, as to enjoy tailgating at both locations to its fullest.

This right here should get post of the year!!!!! Loud and proud Rocky, loud and proud. I’ve read a few of these threads and you own those nasty nebbers in every one of them. I especially like the “hang a 100” line! Words that come to mind, witty and creative. You sir are top notch. Goooooooooooooo Hawkssssssssss and keep putting those nebbers in their place Rocky!!!!!!
NebOnPigLuv=Circa2002Hawk

Wow, I can’t decide if it’s more pathetic that a Nebber has 2 handles on a Hawk site or more pathetic that he likes his own posts with the other handle?!

Lol, you can’t let me get in your head like I have. You just can’t.
