Nebraska...welcome to the 21st Century: Head-to-head program comparison

[Menace Sockeyes]

Okay, the last Century was almost even if you factor in the 1920's and 1950s Hawkeye national champs, only Osborne's 3 titles his last 4 separate us, BUT lets break down the head-to-head THIS century...

Nebraska - 2000 Alamo Bowl vs. Northwestern
Iowa - 2010 Orange Bowl (BCS), (2004 Citrus vs. LSU, 2003 Outback Bowl vs. Florida both also better)

Sorry I'm as big a hawk fan as anyone. But let's not compare histories.

Sorry I'm as big a hawk fan as anyone. But let's not compare histories.

Let's just compare the history of today for the next 24 hours and then move on to the next game. Only history that matters to me is today's game.

 

[Hans81]

Yep. I'm not a big history guy - it's all about what have you done lately.

Somewhere in a sports bar in America, Bo Pelini is laughing
his A$$ off. He won at least 9 games during his seven
seasons at Nebraska. His replacement Mike Riley wins 5
games and loses 7 in his first year with good players.

We can brag about what we are doing this year, but let's not go history with these guys. They still don't know there is a curtain.
