Lots of those "all-time wins" were virtually guaranteed year after year after year against ISU, KU, KSU, Okie State and Missouri. From 1960 thru 2010, Nebraska played a total of 250 games against mostly chump teams from those schools. The Huskers' all-time wins hardly are as bona-fide as the all-time wins of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan and USC.

This is such a dumb argument I hear from Nebraska fans. I hope they had more yards than us. They gave us a pick 6 and short field off turnovers throughout the game. Idc if Iowa didn't convert a 3rd down or had less TOS when canzeri is breaking 50 yard runs. Iowa let Nebraska beat themselves and shut down the offense in the fourth quarter because they were in control.
Wow. Nebraska isn't Minnesota, they are basically Iowa State. Who knew?
This.
Iowa hit homerun after homerun & were always 1-2 scores ahead. What else was Iowa suppose to do?
That wasn't a football team, that was Kansas!
That Kansas team was arguably better than any Iowa team ever. One loss and finished in the top 5. Still no excuse to give up 76.
From 1960-1999, you could replace ISU, KSU,KU and Okie State with Northwestern, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin plenty of wins for Michigan and tOSU to feast on that were guaranteed wins year after year. by the way Missouri had a 0.517 winning percentage to Iowa's 0.479 during that time.
When was the last time ( or ever) has Iowa held their opponents to not scoring a point during the season?
Nebraska achieved this in 1902.....
Ironically, in that same season, Nebby only scored 27 points against a high school team. lmao
If that Kan team could do that to you, I'd hate to see what some of Iowa's top teams would've done! 100 points easy with the 85 or 02 Iowa teams. Easily!
You're talking football in 1902 now? At least you talk about more recent football than most of your Neb buddy's. I'll give you that.
And after Fry's Hawkeyes were beaten 42-7 in 1982 Fry's was quoted "we have Nebraska right were we want them off our schedule" We could have named the score in 1983 and 1995 too.
How can anyone have an intelligent conversation with someone that refers to a football team in 1902?
I think that was Tippett's team. And they only gave up like 86 yards per game rushing.
Again history is earned not given programs with no history don't bring it up because they have None..
Not saying Iowa doesn't but very very little that's just a fact.Ya we sucked last year and Iowa had one of their better teams in school history.We also sucked in 2007 and 2004 but Nebraska has won 9 games or more the last 46 out of 53 years. Maybe you should look up how many times Iowa has 9+ winning seasons so you can understand your program's history better.... Good day.
Haven't read all 8 pages but just wanted to say that Debbie is stupid for keeping the guy. Once, sure. Twice, Maybe. Three times? C'mon man. He coaches young men. Some example!
I agree. He is Nebraska's best recruiter - you can't fire him. Just like if one of your players is involved in a felony - you lock the gun in the coaches office, just like if one of your best players rapes ....never mind as there are too many examples to keep listing them.
Pretty clueless and ignorant to think Nebraska would do the right thing.
Clueless and ignorant to fire someone responsible for mentoring young adults for a 3rd OWI. Pot meet kettle with that statement.
Funny Brian Bennett wrote a very good article stating how weak the punishment was and only those in Nebraska think punishment is worthy. Another fine example of this here.
Just like when Adrian Clayborn committed assault. He was Iowa's best player, so naturally he played an entire following season and bowl game before ever facing any sort of punishment.
Just like if one of your players is involved in a rape....just send the team to the scene of the crime and "move in" and try to handle the investigation in house.
The BAC came back at .08. Honestly not sure how that all works, but I believe charges are based on BAC and not what the breath test was.
And I would highly doubt any hospital or 3rd party examiner would falsify a test result.
You are correct Tom Osborne was famous for in house investigations. 30 for 30 will show that to the nation in a few weeks.
That's a pretty long freaking slumber. When does sleep actually become a coma?
I dislike the Huskers as much as anyone, but belittling their football history is just silly. Yes, the Big 8 was no powerhouse for much of the 70s through 90s outside of Nebraska and Oklahoma, but so what. The B1G from the mid 1960s through the early 1980's was pathetic outside of Ohio State and Michigan. Michigan and OSU were dominant, but they were helped by the rest of the league being so weak, just like Nebraska was dominant but helped by relative weakness of much of the league.
It's as silly of an argument being made as the Husker fans talking about "dominating" Iowa in last year's game, even though Iowa never trailed and led by 2 scores for most of the second half.
If we had Nebraska's history, we'd be talking about it too. The good news is history doesn't win you football games in the present.
Blackshirts must be Nebraskan for swiss cheese
Yep, arguably the worst loss in program history. No excuse losing to that team.
I agree with everything thing you said. History is history and you don't win games with it. Iowa deserves all the credit for last season. Like I said earlier most people wanted that staff run out of town only a year earlier. Your quote "If we had Nebraska's history, we'd be talking about it too." is spot on. I hope for years to come that Friday game determines the west.
Raise your hand if you owned a cell phone the last time Nebraska was relevant.
I didn't.
I didn't.
They traded in their black shirts for pink skirts a long time ago.
