Yes, you can tell them that Northwestern isn't in the same league too! That's awesome that no other program has anyone on staff that has played or coached in the NFL or that puts players in the NFL. I have been racking my brain and cannot think of one program in the general area of Nebraska that can offer that. I've can't seem to find any other campus within a few hours drive of Lincoln that has a Heisman, Remington, Outland, Jim Thorpe, Lou Groza, Doak Walker, Maxwell Award, John Mackey Award, National Coach of the year.
If anyone suggests that Nebraska and Iowa aren't on a similar plane right now, then disregard them. Neither team is playoff material right now. I'm hopeful we can eventually get there, but we will have to improve a lot compared to where we are right now.
I'm not sure. Yours is a straw man argument. It was Nebraska fan that started the "not in the same league" comment. Lets try and stay focused.
Did a nebraska fan bang your girl or what because you seem quite salty. To answer your question we have as many top 10 finishes as IA does wins against FCS teams this year
No straw man at all...based on your parameters one could easily conclude that Iowa St and Iowa = same league since 2000.
I'm pretty sure this HAS been your suggestion the whole time you've been on this board, you've certainly inferred it in this thread alone. It's nice to see you can be somewhat civil, I don't think I've seen any name calling in your last couple of threads anyway.
That was not the question. C'mon, you can do it... where are all the dominating displays of talent from Lincoln that we heard so much about prior to UN joining the Big Ten?
I noticed you left out 8 or 9 BIG trophies and a couple additional Heismans, and multiple additional Outlands and Rimingtons. We have all those others as well, and we recruited better in Riley's first year than Iowa did in Ferentz's 17th. And things are only getting better.
The point is, we have much more history and tradition to sell to recruits, and if you think it doesn't matter, think again.
Likewise...all we heard from Iowa fans was that they were the "bullies of the big ten." Hasn't really turned out that way
My parameter to what? The fact that a NEBRASKA fan stated Northwestern was not in the same league. Those parameters? You throwing Iowa vs. Iowa State has nothing to do with Husker fan being arrogant. Throwing a topic out there to be defended that has nothing to do with the original discussion IS a straw man argument.
Well, well, well.... someone has sure toned down the rhetoric from before. Pre-Big Ten membership and UN would have no trouble at all versus the slow, plodding, methodical teams such as Iowa. A relatively short five years later, Iowa has (in your estimation) reached the level of mighty Nebraska. How nice.
You are all over the place. This was just a couple of posts ago.
"If anyone suggests that Nebraska and Iowa aren't on a similar plane right now, then disregard them."
That was you, right? I'll be taking your advice now.
Exactly!!!! Good grief, take the Cats to at least cover!
Nope. All Iowa has to show for it is an 8-0 regular season and losing a championship game by three points on a last second score.
How about Nebraska.... they accomplished anything like that since joining the league?
Congrats on regular season rings? we too have won the west, inb4 wisconsin booty blasted the nubs because stanford did the same thing a game later
Wrong. The only thing I can go by is our record against Iowa, and that we have a much better history than Iowa. I have said that if our 90s teams were playing in the B1G in the 90s, we would have cleaned up in the hardware department. And even though Iowa has improved their facilities, I think most would still say that we still have better facilities.
I've said on multiple occasions that I thought despite Bo Pelini's record against Ferentz, I thought that Iowa had the better coaching staff vs Pelini's staff. Vs Riley's staff, I don't know. Still too early to determine.
Honest question, would you rather get blown out in the BIG championship game or lose to an FCS school?
Hmmm. Yeah about that. I think you forgot how epic that Wisconsin beat down was, no not the same. How many times in Iowa's entire history have they given up over 65 points? How many times has Nebraska in the last fifteen or so years? I'll wait for your reply.
On behalf of sensible Nebraskans - if there are many of us - I do apologize.
I used to partake in pissing contests such as this until I realized they get you nowhere. Best of luck to you guys the rest of the season and a good game come November 25th.
And I'll take Iowa minus the points.

So youd take losing to an FCS school? A game that will get brought up everytime an FCS school is within a TD of an FBS program..
To be honest, third game of the season, not many watching the game real time or being a complete dumpster fire in front of the whole country (multiple times I won't bother listing all the scores), I'll take the FCS loss with the chance to redeem the season.
husker Duh is back spouting off his lack of football knowledge once again.
Amazing how it is always the once mighties screwing the pooch and that the other team had absolutely no impact whatsoever.
Those VHS tapes from the 90's sure do impress recruits now don't they?
Did Wisconsin just score again on the once mighties or was it Purdue? No maybe it was Ohio State. So confusing.
Are you going to live vicariously through NDSU? I guess that alone tells us just how far the once mighties has fallen.
More please.
I guess it took and FCS team to do something to a team on the road that a certain team in Lincoln couldn't do at home...a couple of times now. Using Nebraska transitive thinking, I'll go ahead and assume NDST is the better team. Same coaching staffs, right?
But...the argument has been for this entire thread "is Northwestern's team in the same league as Nebraska's this year?" And yet for some reason you guys think that throwing out scores from previous coaches in some way offers up a valid comparison. Like I said, use your head.
But Husker Duh couldn't figure out how Iowa ran the same exact play two plays in a row against the skirts s last year with the same result. Long runs untouched for TD's.
In his all knowing, massive football knowledge stuffed brain, this is proof Iowa didn't do squat against the once mighties. Then again he can't figure out why nebby isn't in the AAU anymore.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Nobody said a thing about THIS year until you were called out and started back peddling.
Use my head? I'm getting a little sick and tired of your little passive/aggressive way of calling people stupid on this board
Once herkyfan starts posting please consider the thread dead. Herkyfan should change moniker to Threadkiller.
There it is again. The skirts s have fallen so far they are left with living vicariously through NDSU.
More please.
I did too don't get pissy about it. Now go back to living vicariously through NDSU.
Certain and select history always impresses recruits. Just ask fans of the once mighties.
You truly are 'challenged.' You can't even remember what was discussed an hour or two ago on this very board??? Let me remind you. I said Northwestern's team isn't in the same league as a team as Nebraska. Starting to remember yet?
And for some reason you thought scores from the previous regime and the first year of a coaching staff were applicable. Then I contrasted last year's 82 yards vs this year's 310 yards on the ground. Any of this sinking in yet?
Why would my contention be about games that we lost to Northwestern??? Because I wasn't comparing the two programs since we joined the B1G. I said Northwestern's team is not in our league this year. And they aren't.
I have never once suggested that we have been a better program than Northwestern since we joined the B1G. Although we have won 4 of the 6 games, I believe. What I have suggested is that we are a much better team than Northwestern this year. And we are.

This is rich knowing that very recent... Stanford and McCaffery absolutely owned Iowa in the Rose Bowl.
All you need to do is look at Riley's first recruiting class vs Ferentz's 16th or 17th, and there's your answer. If you sell to your strengths, kids listen.
Time for you to go back to the children's table. When you're done playing Go Fish and learn how to play pitch, then you can come back.
