Nebby's Asst Coach

[5Fan5]

Iowa's regular season record since Nebraska joined the B1G: 38-27, 0-4 in bowl games. (4 bowl game played!)
Nebraska's regular season record since joining the B1G: 43-23, 2-3 in bowl games. Joined in 2011)
Iowa's regular season win percentage = .585
Nebraska's regular season win percentage = .652
Neither team can brag much. I'd say considering the changes made at Nebraska they have been the dominate team. So that means Iowa is the "little bro".

Mitch, you really should know when to leave well enough alone....

Since the 2011 season when UN came into the Big Ten (to show them how "real" football is played), the difference between them and Iowa is almost less than negligible.UN holds all of a one game margin in conference wins. The Corndogs were ranked (some might say over-rated) in 22 of the 41 weeks in which they opposed Big Ten competition, yet never finished even top twenty despite facing the slow, methodical and very predictable league teams. In reality, UN was only 4-7 when facing ranked conference opponents losing 48-17 in the inaugural game against Wisconsin, 17-45 to lesser ranked Michigan and 38-63 to #12 Ohio State. In the lone appearance in the conference championship match up, a ranked UN team was embarrassed by unranked Wisconsin by a score of 31-70!

Lowly Iowa, in comparison has somehow managed to win 23 Big Ten games over the very same period of time, but has only been considered worthy of a top twenty-five rating in 8 of its entire slate of conference games during those five years. Yes, Iowa is just 3-8 versus ranked conference foes but the very worst of those defeats scoring wise was by a 17-42 margin in Ann Arbor near the end of Iowa's 4-8 campaign of 2012. The Hawks faced Michigan State last December in the CCG and lost by all of three points.

Head-to-head, UN does lead Iowa 3 games to 2 in Big Ten play; the scoring delta favors Iowa 114 to 107.

At least you got the part right about neither team being able to brag much. But, you should have left it at that because UN certainly has not dominated Iowa in the time they have each competed in Big Ten play.

Edit to correct: UN holds a 25 total win to 23 total win difference in Big Ten games. My bad.

 

[RogerKint]

Iowa has 5 top 10 finishes in the past 15 years. How many do the Runzas have?

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Last 15 years, yeah Neb definitely lil bro. You'll get no argument from me otherwise.

 

[terrehawk]

You had barely 100 yards of offense before Gerry went out, if even that. It took a freshman coming in and missing a read on both plays for you to score, but hey, you won, so props. But, it will be a little more difficult when we are actually working with some depth.

So the key to the Nebraska defense is a free safety making tackles 20 to 30 yds down field......sounds like a great plan..

No wonder you guys haven't been relevant in ANY way whatsoever in over 15 years......Basically your lifetime

Yes this is the level of fooball knowledge Husker Duh has. I was a kicker and understand more about college football than that genius.

 

[Hans81]

Yes this is the level of fooball knowledge Husker Duh has. I was a kicker and understand more about college football than that genius.

Yeah, and for Husker Duh to claim that the fuskers "will always have more talent than Iowa" is a bit pre-mature. Historically, at the skill positions Nebby perhaps has had an edge on Iowa, but in the trenches (where games are won) Iowa doesn't have to take a back seat to the anyone.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

You sir are correct. Iowa has played in 4 bowl games in the last 5 years. Lost all of them. Thanks for assisting me with my point. I have corrected my original post.
But Iowa is still considered Nebraska's "little bro". 14-29-3 vs the Huskers.

Must be pretty embarrassing when you lose to us like last year then. Or keeping a coach around with 3 OWIs. Or losing 7 games doesn't sound like you were big bro to anyone of late. Typical husker fan talk about the past cause that's all you got going for you, so original. Rinse wash repeat...

 

[terrehawk]

So UN players vote team captains for this week. Their starting senior QB isn't voted as Captain by his teammates.

Their starting safety ( you know the guy I mentioned above that's single-handedly lost the Iowa game last year for them) WAS voted a team captain......

Only one problem....that safety was suspended for the first game.

BAU for UN

 

[cidhawkeye]

That is nothing more than an outright lie from you. At the time of those posts, UN was a member of the big xii and more specifically, the big xii north which had gained a reputation as nothing more than a glorified 'pillow fight'. You, in all your pompous grandeur, where here telling us how Nebraska would have no trouble at all succeeding in the Big Ten. According to you, the slow, plodding, predictability would make the Big Ten easy pickings for the well oiled, precision team from Lincoln. Then, 2011 happens and we find out that Nebraska holds no superiority over the Big Ten or even over lowly Iowa.

Think about this... in the three wins for UN in this conference series against Iowa, the collective point margin favoring mighty UN totals just 22 points. In two of those games, your ever-so-powerful program could not even match or better the measly 8 point victory that Iowa achieved last November. What happened?

What you will always do is find an excuse for why UN is not living up to the measure of two, three decades ago if not longer. And, you will forever be here spewing your revisionist account of what it was you were so absolutely certain of before reality set in when UN became just another average team in the Big Ten.

Quit selling him short, he is adept at ignoring questions, spinning his answer and defending a team that always brings more talent and yet continues to underachieve while virtually ignoring discipline and lacking character.

 

[BigRedFlood]

I must say, UNL is very fortunate.

In Iowa City, this coach would have been taken out behind the Water Tower and tortured for a confession. If he had not confessed, he would have been tossed to the hogs to gnaw on for a bit. That surely would have done it. If not, they would have hauled Lois Feldman out of her long deserved (and well-earned, I might add) retirement to torture the man further. Nothing like a SERIOUS Hawk fan to lay down the law.

In Iowa city, we would be fortunate if Mr. Williams survived.

Thank goodness we live in the civilized world, where good corn abounds.

(In case it needs to be said): This is all in jest. I love the Hawks as much as anyone, until Thanksgiving Friday. We are all really quite the same, and I hope you and your family are doing well. Let's amp up the game, but not the hate. Flood

Gerry? The guy that blew the coverage on our first TD. Ya he was amazing.

All I get out of this thread lately from the natives is: Bla Bla, Bla bla bla ....

I wish the season would start already. We all need it.

What's your take on the fact that Armstrong was not voted a captain by his teammates and gerry was despite suspension?

 

[RogerKint]

If that floats your boat, feel free to roll with it.

Don't forget last year Alex Lewis was also a team Captain. Guy only spent 45 days in jail from an assault charge few years earlier.

FIFY!

However; I do believe Iowa will have a good season this year. Good, but not great.

2 points here.

Eventual Big 10 Champion MSU QB was not elected captain last year.. And neither was Tommie Frazier and Scott Frost both won National titles.

 

[milehighhawkeye24]

Wow, this got a bit out of hand. Lets wrap this up objectively.
1) Nebraska was really really good 20+ years ago.......they are not as good anymore
2) Since the 21st century Iowa and Nebraska are pretty equal in results on the football season
3) Nebby is not Iowa's lil brother
4) Iowa is Not nebbie's lil brother
5) It has quickly become a great rivalry
6) Iowa has had higher highs, nebby has been consistently above average
7) Outside of Nebbyland, the handling of retaining a coach who just got 3rd OWI just looks really bad
8) We live in a "what have you done for me lately" society. Iowa has 365 days to brag, deal with it

 

[hawkeyebob62]

Q: How many Nebraska coaches does it take to get a third chance?















A: One and one-fifth...

 

[terrehawk]

Absolutely not true. Nebraska has a good amount of regular season win totals but that doesn't amount to equal results as iowa.

 

[milehighhawkeye24]

Absolutely not true. Nebraska has a good amount of regular season win totals but that doesn't amount to equal results as iowa.

Objectively speaking, yes yes it does. Iowa has more top 10's, bigger bowls, better results with player development. However, are 0-4 in bowl games, have less wins, and are 2-3 against Nebby. Iowa and Nebby are about as equal as any two programs in the past 15+ years

 

[scarletred]

Since you brought it up since 2000-2015 which you Hawks bring up

Top10-2 times 7th and 8th.( 2000- 2001)
Top 25-7 times.

9 out of the last 15 years.
The years we weren't ranked
2002- Solich
2004- Callahan
2006-Callahan
2007-Callahan
2008- Pelini ( beat Clemson finished 9-4)
2014-Pelini
2015- Riley

Still, not true. The programs are far from being on equal ground.

Especially when UN constantly tries to measure everything in terms of winning THINGS and status.

Nebraska has the third-longest conference title drought among the 14 Big Ten schools. (Indiana and Minnesota)

The difference between the programs is Nebraska has been fairly consistent with their mediocrity, whereas Iowa has had some very high HIGHS but a few lows and some average seasons all sprinkled in.

That does not equate UN to Iowa's success in the last 15 years. That makes Iowa superior. They have actually won things. Earned rankings and notoriety during that period.

Great.....some of your current players were just being weaned off of their mommas tit and transitioning out of diapers in 2000-2001

Sooooo proud.

You are framing your criteria to fit your agenda and are displaying confirmation bias at its finest. I hate Nebby more than anything, but can not OBJECTIVELY say that one program is above the other in terms of the last 15 years. The only thing I can say is that Iowa is trending upward while Nebby downward

LOL. That is stupid. Again, Nebraska hasn't won ANYTHING. Hasn't even finished high in the rankings in 15 years! 15!

That by definition means Iowa "is above UN".

If your reference is this century, make that once. The century began in 2001. When you count to ten what number do you begin with, zero or one? When your neighbor who went to Creighton helps you count to 20 what number does he begin with, zero or one? Google it.

kNowledge College - not surprised they were booted from the AAU. I just wonder how they ever got in.

Did I say century? No I didn't Mr Einstein... Matter of fact I should use 1999-2015 since that is when Ferentz
Became your Head Coach.

Geez ooh mighty.

You are seriously going to try and compare 2015 MSU to UN and the human slot machine?

Not even going to discuss 20 and 30 year old teams.

No I didn't... Only pointing out that their QB was not voted Team Captain.

Comprehension is the problem here.

 

[Bob Sanders Biceps]

So UN players vote team captains for this week. Their starting senior QB isn't voted as Captain by his teammates.

Their starting safety ( you know the guy I mentioned above that's single-handedly lost the Iowa game last year for them) WAS voted a team captain......

Only one problem....that safety was suspended for the first game.

BAU for UN

Gerry is just not a good player. I hear all this hype, but every time I see him play, he is the definition of mediocrity, with a ration of reckless stupidity. Both of his ejection hits were IQ 60 level hits and he makes a lot of mistakes in coverage.
