Lincoln is awful. Iowa boasts the world's largest truck stop (Walcott), but Lincoln is the world's largest truck stop. What a shit town for its population. You'd think, with that many people, that something worthwhile would happen once in a while. Apart from the Huskers. We should violently annex Omaha and let the rest of that shit state become a Dakota.
Nebraska needs to leave the Big 10

I am out there 6-8 times a year on business not sure what town you are talking about but it sure as hell isn't Lincoln.
It's not called "Stinkin Lincoln" for nothing. 
I somewhat kid as both Omaha and Lincoln are decent cities; however, as someone mentioned earlier, west of Lincoln it's a wasteland. Therefore, in comparing Nebraska to Iowa in totality, it's really no comparison.

And CR is called the city of 5 smells so you'll have that.

Kind of like everything north of Des Moines. Mason City is definitely a cultural mecca. And then to the east you have the dump of Waterloo and Council Tucky to the west. You do have the Amish though.
Here's something for you to chew on.. Of the 25 worst defensive game performances in the 115+ years of Nebraska football, Blo Pelini's defenses are the owners of 13 of those 25 worst performances. Now I know that offenses have evolved over the years, but I also know they didn't evolve so significantly over the Blo Pelini years that he would own 13 of the top 25 worst performances of our program's history.
You are completely lost. Des Moines is absolute boredom. I used to stay there frequently for my job. God, having to stay in that town for a few days in a row was sheer drudgery. There is a lot more going on in Lincoln than Des Moines.
I think Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines and Iowa City are incredible places. People moving to these cities from the coast seem to agree as well.
I want to stand up for the western 2/3s of Nebraska though. The sandhills, the buttes, the wildcat hills, chadron hills, toadstool and pine ridge hills (includes fort robinson) has some of the most breathtaking scenery. Nebraska also has the most river miles of any US state. Western Iowa has the Loess hills which are gorgeous along I29.
I really like both states and the cities in them. I really feel that we do each other a gross injustice when we sling mud where it doesnt belong.

Agree with ehenningsen! Both Iowa and Nebraska are large on natural beauty, largely unspoiled--at least compared to where I am in Florida. We have beaches and the water but those things are overrun with tourists and development and garbage in too many areas.
If I want to be totally alone, I fly into Denver and head out to my parents house in Western Nebraska. Nothing like it anywhere near me.
Sorry to interrupt the grouch-fest.

Good thing you fired him. Guy only won 9 to 10 games every year at Nebraska. Then you went out and hired a genius coach that managed four 9 win seasons and just as many losing seasons in 12 years at Oregon State.
Ya ya ya, all he needs is better players. Bo didn't.
Don't forget to donate your money to the Lincoln PD. Gotta keeps those kids eligible.
Your post shows a true lack of knowledge of college football. Riley was offered both the USC and Alabama head jobs for good reason. He knows the game.
What you fail to understand is that he has never had a head job where he has had the talent to compete on a consistent basis. Even in the pros he was given Ryan Leaf to deal with.
Oregon St. has always been known as the armpit of the PAC-10. They have the worst facilities of that conference, and they have a heavily funded Nike team just down the street from them. Despite that, Riley put together a winning record there. Look at what Gary Anderson did there last year for some perspective. 1-11.
LOL! I love that Husker fans trot out this line. He was also offered by the Patriots, the Yankees, and IBM.
He stunk at OrSU. He stunk in the NFL. He did have a good run in Canada in the late 1980s.
Also, I love when people in one rural, Midwestern/Great Plains state acts like their state is a lot different than the one next door.
Sure, he stunk as compared to other major programs records while at Oregon State. But no one but Riley has won at Oregon St. Hadn't heard about the Patriots, Yankees, and IBM. Who knew Riley was such a techie..
Ya see, this is where you are wrong though. Lawrence, KS' campus and downtown are dramatically different than Manhattan, KS campus and downtown. And they are located in the same state. And as I had agreed with, Iowa's campus buildings are overall more impressive than Nebraska's. Part of it has to do with the fact that the Nebraska Medical Center is located in Omaha. Not having that campus within itself on the Nebraska campus takes away from Lincoln's campus.
And equally dissimilar are the downtowns of both Lincoln and Iowa City. Iowa has smaller buildings and a more quaint feel to it, whereas Lincoln has more of a city feel, with more and better bars and restaurants, and most certainly better music venues.
That describes most of Minnesota sans the TCs. Mason City/Clear Lake is just that but with milder weather.
6-7 with a team Pelini would have gotten to 10 wins. That's what you fail to accept.
Im still betting you are over here on Iowa's board talking about how great he is while going to the Husker Douche site and complaining about how Nebraska deserves better than Riley.
