Omaha News - Nebraska's Bowl Game

The only reason Nebraska fans want to win this weekend is so we can say we have fired 2 coaches after beating Iowa.
 
Iowa wins on Friday, it was obviously their “super bowl”. Nebraska wins on Friday, It’s just a W to cap a crappy season. Additionally, if Nebraska wins they finish ahead of Iowa in the B1G standings yet again.
Iowa - 45
Nebraska - 28
With a Iowa win:
KF - 3-0 against MR and 4 out of 9 against Nebraska overall.
 
Yeah, not a lot of excitement involved in this game this weekend for obvious reasons. Think Iowa is trending up though even after the last two weeks. We have a lot of young players in big positions. I had us at 7 wins before the year with the talent, youth, and schedule into consideration.

Nebraska is in a tough spot. If they take Frost and it doesn't go well, where do they go from there? They have already set a bad precedent in the coaching circle by having a super quick hook; makes the job even more unattractive.

Interesting times

Iowa Trending Up? You can’t be serious after the last two debacles.

It will always mean more to Iowa until either Iowa takes over the series lead or Nebraska has 5 seasons in a row like this one. It’s not worth arguing about, all the statistics are on my side.

Okay? You see how that comes off as arrogant, right? It's also hard to argue when so many of your fans are always on our board. Maybe ours are over on yours, I don't know.

Honestly, I'm assuming our fans are more concerned with Ohio St., Penn St., and Wisconsin. Maybe it's just me. I'm sure you were worried about others as well. Our team, as clearly instructed by KF, takes every game one week at a time. Super bowl, not close. Especially now that we know we don't have an offense and you don't have a defense. Just two mediocre teams this year.

One team is trying to get back to the top and one team is trying to get there for the first time. Everyone likes to beat up on a team that is or was a blue blood and is going through a down cycle. Nebraska may never get back and Iowa may never make it, but until something changes the series is lopsided in Nebraska’s favor. Simple as that and arrogance has nothing to do with it.

Which team is trying to get back to the top? UNL the last two decades? “Restore the Order” again?
 
They can't help it, they think they are entitled to platinum status the rest of their lives due to steroids, prop 8, 100 schollies, a very good walk on program, and a weak Big 8 conference that came down to them or OU then late to the table at the end, Colorado.

Any fan base that holds up a sign during a game with Colorado that says "Sal who?" with an administration that allows it to be held up during the game deserves what they are currently going through and I hope the losing continues until you are viewed as nothing more than bottom dweller in the B1G. Karma. You reap what you sow.
 
Some of you bring it in yourselves. I come here with stats and facts and get name calling and crazy obsessed Iowa fan. When you reply like most of the above, you prove my point for me, so thanks. One team has been to the top in modern football era - Nebraska-fact. One team has not-Iowa- fact. One team is\was a blue blood - fact. You look and act like little bros by arguing.

You’ll notice I only reply to threads or posts that concern Nebraska football, so there is an easy solution for those who start the ridiculous threads or posts, so easy even an Iowa grad could figure it out.

Iowa has won 3 out of the last 4 vs. Nebby (that's a fact), and about to make it 4 out of 5. I'm much more concerned about RECENT history vs opponents. 40 - 10 in Iowa's favor vs. Nebby in the most RECENT game...that's another fact for you.

“Recent history” is classic Iowa fan retort.
 
What did Debbie win in 2002?
Relevance is playing in the NC game, you can argue you it all you want. I don’t expect Iowa fan to understand. Do you really take offense to the statement “Iowa is trying to reach the top”? Way too sensitive if you do.

Easy with the facts. They only matter 20 years ago. Restore the Order again.
 
Iowa fan loves recent history until it doesn’t suit their narrative. Purdue? At home? On senior night?
I realize and accept that Nebraska has been bad under MR.
Iowa just being Iowa this season.
 
May want to check your grammar if you’re going to mock another fan base. Iowa resident know English grammar?
Whoops, inadvertently left off the "s", thanks for noticing. My question still stands, do Nebraskans wear shoes?

Why would I care which team won 10, 20, 30 years ago? I live in the here & now. Comparing Iowa and Nebraska rosters, it looks like the Hawks have a good chance to win this series in the foreseeable future.

How is playing in a national championship game 20 years ago relevant to the Nebraska program of today? It doesn't appear to have had any positive impact(s) as Nebraska is apparently once again looking for a new head coach, after another below average season.

Oh I know you do, all fans of teams who’ve only known success in the “here and now” say that, until it no longer works. Typical Iowa fan hypocrisy.

15 years ago, man you’re just not that bright.

Hold it...I thought we were talking Iowa vs Nebraska? I'll admit that Purdue had a nice game plan and took it to the Hawks last Sat.

huskers 31
hawkeyes 10

hope I am wrong
