I like all the paneling in the Hawkeye video. Really gives that "lodge" or "Sears" feel to the facilities.
Nebraska Jr. Day

I've been to Lincoln. It's very comparable to Waterloo/Cedar Falls, but at a Des Moines scale. There's the school side of the city that is nice (the Cedar Falls portion) then there's the rest of the city which can be quite grim (Waterloo portion).
"So Nebraska and Iowa were McQuitty’s final two. McQuitty said Iowa felt more like a “small town,” whereas NU felt bigger and the fans were more supportive."
Will someone please provide a list of things Iowa City has that is better than what Lincoln has to help me understand McQuitty's mistaken decision.
A little off topic, but with Iowa Basketball beating Temple today they have done more than Nebraska Basketball has done....EVER
LMAO! Lincoln doesn't compare to Iowa City as a college town??? Iowa City is small potatoes vs Lincoln. They are on 2 completely different levels. One is a small town, with a downtown that has a small town feel. And one is 300,000 people, with great music venues and restaurants.
Well, I guess it's probably a 'goofy' seating arrangement that puts 18K more people in the stadium than Kinnick. A lot more revenue.
It's also why Keyshawn Johnson Jr. just picked Nebraska over Alabama, USC, Ohio St., Florida State, and Clemson.
Hard to tell with recruits...some may come from big cities and think Iowa City is too small, others may like the slower pace of campus life. Every University has something different to offer. Ohio State is in the middle of a town of 1 million and has nightclubs, restaurants, pro hockey, and tons of things to do. Some might prefer be in Lincoln or Iowa City, but then there is the benefit of playing football at Ohio State. That's what makes the recruiting interesting to watch!
Because Nebraska was his only committable offer....all of those other schools have bigger fish to fry
Lol typical Nebby fan, the delusion is strong with y'all. Go to those team's boards and ask their writers if his offers were committable to those schools. You won't like what you'll find.
Memorial Stadium (in Lincoln) was first built back in 1920's where it was JUST the side lines. That's it. Over the years they expanded it, but recently the sidelines got some more seats but emphasis was placed on club seating not just individual seats.
Well Iowa City is annually in list of top COLLEGE towns and as for fun Iowa City along with Madison are usually top 10 party towns annually. Just because Lincoln is bigger doesn't make it a better town. Cause with your logic DePaul, St Johns and USC would all be the best college towns in America then. As for players for bragging about recruiting why did Djimon Colbert pick Iowa over Nebraska? See how it works both way. But I guess after an awesome 6-7 season guess you got to brag about winning something when you get a recruit.
Translation: If I get arrested in Lincoln for rape or something there is a high percentage chance I walk away from that with zero issues. There fans (cops) are supportive.
That's how I read it anyway.
That sounds like a very good thing. I see you guys post regularly about the too-vigilant, and sometimes underhanded, tactics the Iowa City cops use. Especially against athletes, with all those underage drinking charges and any other criminal activity.
"Well, if it wasn't Iowa City, they'd be okay. Never see this sort of thing in Tuscaloosa, Lincoln, Gainesville, and so on" . . .
I think having a police force that understands "innocent until proved guilty" would be better than the jackboot methods your board talks about in Iowa City.
Keyshawn Johnson Jr to Nebraska, good for them. My opinion is that he will probably be a prima donna like his dad. I could be wrong though. With that said, Riley is putting together some nice pieces for the next coach after him in 2-3 years after he gets fired.
Lawrence Phillips says hi. He was always innocent until proven guilty. Well innocent cuz dr. Tom intimidated witnesses. Innocent is Innocent am I right?
If you really want facts about The Husker stadium and facilities then you posted on the wrong site. After filtering threw the retarded bashing mess Iowa fans tried to lay on, i just skipped to the end so i could post. If you really want the info, Stop by the Husker board and ask or go to another teams board like Oklahoma or someone like that. You will get genuine answers with out all the twist and BS to try and make Iowa look and sound better. Only to an Iowa fan is Iowa's football stadium and facilities better then the Huskers. And live it up Iowa fans, next season is approaching.
Yes the season where Iowa sends Nebby home with another L. Too bad it's Tommy Turnover's final year, I could enjoy about 7 more years of him.
Sigh... thats the worst thing abiut it spbc7. It doesnt matter what we do in the field. Nebraska's most prolific turnover machine will find a way as he has always done before
