Not sure what the AD is thinking. They actually want OSU to put more emphasis into the Nebraska game? So, what, 80+ points? 90+ points?

I've been playing "what-if" scenarios in my head lately ... and 2 particular ones that come to mind are:
- How would the 2009 Hawks have fared had Shonn Greene stayed for his SR year?
- How would the 2015 Hawks have fared had Drew Ott been healthy for his full SR year?
I totally agree ... the margin for error can be slim indeed!
I agree whole heartedly here. At the same time his defense at UCF was horrible as well.
I think Urban has a few other things to worry about like... finding a QB to lead this team this year...so maybe we will punt a few times against Nebraska this year.
Probably because Iowa and Nebraska share a border. In the border area, over the last several decades, there has been a cold war raging. Since Nebraska entered the BIG it has been lit and the war is getting larger and larger. You wouldn't understand if you live in Decorah or Maquoketa, but if you are from Shenandoah or LeMars you know the war is real.
I always wonder why there are so many posters who come on this board and have to ask why there are Nebraska threads. Do you not understand it yet? They are a huge rival to a lot of Iowa fans.
Tshirt Hell, they hung a banner in their stadium this week, and made national champions rings for all their players. Absolutely hilarious to think any team would think they could just annoint themselves. I'm sure the school heirarchy is so proud.....
I wish ISU would have hired Moos. I mean come on, how awesome would it be if ISU's AD had the last name Moos.
After the way Iowa humiliated the Buckeyes and the way Michigan collapsed against South Carolina, its a reasonable statement.
Right wejun. All Hawk fans think just like a few idiot posters on a message board do.
I hope they keep talking about michigan being scared. Get some attention for that game.......would love to see frosts first b1g game in primetime!
I don't have a problem.
I just don't get why Nebraska is discussed obsessively from one week to the next on an Iowa message board in April. Apparently you do. Kudos to you.
...and very intelligent of you to believe that will continue...enjoy it wihile it lasts because it won't fo long

I grew up in central Iowa and now live in Texas. My formative years were the eighties and nineties and I am acutely aware of how obnoxious Nebraska fans can be and that there are many of them in western Iowa. Furthermore, I do understand how proximity can create natural rivalries and recall when Illinois vs. Iowa used to be worth discussing. A distant memory now.
The point I was making was rhetorical. The same Iowa fans who go to extraordinary lengths to talk about how irrelevant Nebraska football is and how their greatness is relegated to the past (which it of course is) are the same fans always bringing up Nebraska in the present. Kind of ironic, wouldn't you say?
But, yes, thank you, I do understand how rivalries work. Just don't get why a fan base who believes a program is inferior to their own feels compelled to bring them up all the time. Seems pretty Cyclonish to me. But hey, cool, I get it. Some of you guys need them. I will just skip over these threads from now on when I do visit HR forums and those who need to dote affection on the Huskers can go about their merry way.
2015- CCG against Mich St, Canzeri stays in that game and at least 85-90° Hawks win that game. Ott on D helps immensely.
1. He never said he believes it will continue for all of eternity. He just pointed out the Black Skirts have given up a lot of points in recent memory. Yeah, it's a pretty safe bet their defense might improve from yielding an average of 60 points/game. Bold prediction on your part.
2. Why do so many Nebraska fans who disgrace this board have a difficult time spelling or posting responses that seem at least halfway literate? I get typos, but so many of you seem to have problems with basic grammar and spelling. I point this out because many of you like to sound off about the intelligence of Iowa fans. I don't know, I guess if it was me, and I was going to another fan base's board to talk shit, I would make sure I didn't sound illiterate before posting about someone else's intelligence. Yet, so many of you Husker fans do. Might want to work on that.
Simple answer why there are Nebraska thread here: It's fun to kick them while they are down.
I’d love to see Oh St line up & punt on the first play of the game just to mock Nebbers.
I'm going to go way out on a limb and predict Scooter is out of Nebby in 4-5 years. This year he will fight to make a bowl next year will be the high point of 8ish wins. 2020 and 2021 are brutal and eventually he will get tired of the spoiled fanbase, they will 7 or 8 games and his wife will remember what 70 degrees in January is like. The fanbase is already up in arms about a statement he made this week and let's not forget his comments in the first interview about leaving his family alone. They just dont know how to stay out of thier own way.
Hahahaha. Dude, I didnt even think of that. I might piss myself laughing if they did. Bravo sir.
I think the main reason I open some of these threads is to see firsthand just how defensive and illiterate a lot of these Nebraska fans are. I'm embarrassed for them.
Scott Flop will be a flop.
You're probably right about Frost being out, but I'm guessing the way it'll work is he will jump to a higher profile job in a warmer climate first chance he gets.
It's not easy winning in the B1G Ten and unless he goes undefeated by Year 3 (which won't happen) the Nebraska fan base will be grumbling.
If you live in LeMars, you can't shake one persistent thought looping through your head, to wit: "how the hell did I end up living in LeMars, Iowa?"
Actually, that is pretty strong Cyclone country up there from Le Mars going east.
Sioux City - now that is a test tube of fan bases of regional teams. It may be ground zero in the Hawkeye vs. Husker border war, strong support for both teams.. ..way too many old timers who grew up watching Jerry Tagge and Johnny Rogers on KCAU in the early 70s then brainwashed their kids and grandkids under Osborn. The dormant Iowa fan base came alive and grew when Hayden Fry was hired, now proudly flying the flag..... a solid minority of ISU grads and fans, and your transplanted Minnesota fans who huddle to talk hockey while watching the Gophers lose another game.
Hey Husker friend, I don't think it will last forever and no doubt Mr. Frost will have the Big Red Machine rollin in Ol' Lincoln again, but those are the three games that backs up my post.
Tell your AD to stop running his mouth and stop writing checks that Mr. Frost may not be able to cash..Good Luck to your Huskers....Keep this in mind......OSU didn't punt......at all.....that only happens on Xbox...
Why did you have to remind me of 2010, the year of what could have been. Average loss was 3.6 points. 7,1,4,3,3. The team lost it's mojo after throttling #5 Michigan St and didn't regain it until the Insight Bowl and beat #14 Missouri.
I check in here because I know that some Hawkeye fan will start a thread about Nebraska every other day. For some reason. I just read them most of the time. I argue in them sometimes, but I lurk because I know that I'll get some Nebraska nuggets over here.
Micah returned a pick in both the MSU and Missouri game.. but he only picked one of them off
That's what I thought, I knew he won the bowl game with that pic 6. Picked off that stud Blaine Gabbert.
