Omaha News - Nebraska's Bowl Game

- Start date
Iowa HAS "known success" since the Fry era. You need to get out of fuskerland a bit more.
So now you’re back to going back 30 plus years, man you are all over the place. If 1 B1G title and 2 shared titles in 30 plus years is your idea of success, I can understand why KF is paid 4 mil plus and keeps getting extended.
Yes, the Big 10 is certainly a highly competitive, strong conference as Nebraska is finding out. I wouldn't expect you to know much about B10 history, but Iowa initially broke the Ohio State and Michigan strangle hold on the conference. Iowa has had a consistent winning record, several top 10 finishes, a perennial bowl team, all without academic scandals, cutting corners, etc. So, yes I would characterize that as a "successful" program. Have a good Thanksgiving.
Please explain why the UNL “blue blood” program has not won the Big Ten the last 7 years? That should be automatic after all UNL was good in the 2990’s. I’ll wait. Just hanging with UNL fans now in Omaha that are laughing at you.
You either don’t read or choose to ignore all the posts where I have stated my respect for the Iowa program and my respect for how they often beat the teams at the top. You choose to focus on perceived, not actual, slights to Iowa football. It is true I despise a certain type of Iowa fan, but those who want a respectful, honest, factual discussion get one from me. I’m tired of the “the B1G is hard” argument. Nebraska struggling has nothing to do with the move to the B1G. We don’t agree on what it means to be successful and that’s ok, there is no reason to make it personal. Have a wonderful thanksgiving day.
Guess I missed your "respect" for Iowa in this, and other threads, where I have seen you post. I also "despise a certain type of Nebraska fan", that is, those that can't simply admit that Iowa has recently had a stronger/more well balanced team than Nebraska. I'm not saying that you are that type of fan. I'm certainly willing to acknowledge that Nebraska has a much stronger history then Iowa. You're also not the first Nebraska fan that gets tired of "the B10 is hard argument". However, just stepping back and looking at the overall strength of the conference, it appears that Nebraska football is quite a bit behind from consistently competing with O$U, PSU, Wisky, and Michigan and is fighting to stay up with programs like MSU, N'Western, and Iowa. Just my two cents.
This is what perplexes me, Iowa has had more coaching continuity, but Nebraska has averaged a higher divisional finish then Iowa since 2011, so I don’t see the stronger team argument. At any rate, hope you get to have a nice day with family and friends, as Americans we have a lot to be thankful for.
I'm basing my "stronger team" comment on head-to-head match-ups between Iowa and Nebraska, rather than divisional finishes.
Sounds good, in that case they are even since 2011 and after that I go to divisional finish. Enjoy the game tomorrow, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised or maybe not if you’re one of the Iowa fans that is confident in an Iowa win.
Not sure what to think about tomorrow's game. I could actually see a big win by EITHER team. I would feel better about Iowa's chances if if was going to be worse weather, which would hurt Nebby's passing game more. I'm still looking at 3 out of last the 4 games went Iowa's way, which is a better indicator of current program strengths rather than going back to 2011.
I respect your opinion, but surely you can see how that is convenient to say in 2017 after 2 wins in a row by Iowa, I doubt an Iowa fan would’ve been quick to tout recent history in 2012 when it was 2-0 Nebraska since joining the B1G and 4 -0 Nebraska over KF. I would respect the recent history line more from Iowa fan if it just pertained to the last season and that if Iowa lost the narrative stayed the same.
Iowa has always been & always will be Neb’s Super Bowl. Both fan bases know it whether they want to admit it or not.
It doesn’t matter if Neb is 11-0 or 0-11 coming into this game, Iowa is the big bro/king & Neb will always, ALWAYS play this game as their Super Bowl.

2 ints of Turnover Tanner. Pick 6 by Jackson, and another pick inside Nebraska's 20 that leads to a 3 and out followed by a fg.
I suspect you are wrong. Huskers suck even more than usual this season.
The players in tomorrow's game only know the past 5 years or less. They weren't playing during nebby's glory years. Many were still in diapers and many weren't even born when KF took over..
I agree, this is the first year in quite awhile that the huskers appear to suck more than the hawks, including 2015.
The whole recent history argument has been beat like a dead horse. You can have your all too convenient recent history.
The players only know the recent history. BTW- you are firing Riley because of nebby's recent history. The last 3 years to be exact.
The dead horse is literally nebby's glory days. That horse died a long time ago.
name calling - the first resort of a nebby fan.
Not name calling, but I’ve said enough, everyone gets it, but you. Enjoy your Thanksgiving evening.
Looks like name calling to me.
You said: "You are literally too dumb to insult"
BTW... I DO get it. Clearly you don't.
Happy turkey day. Here's hoping for an injury free game tomorrow and a hawkeye victory.
There’s a post, probably more than one, on here where I’m called a DBag and a DB, that is name calling. Questioning someone’s intelligence is not. Are you a millennial?

I understand your point Nebraska holds all time series lead and all just like I understand Iowa has won the last couple , its no different than Wisconsin fans selectively forgetting Iowa beat them like 20 years in a row and they only got good by poaching Iowa's coaching . Which side of the coin is shiny syndrome
You said “at the top”, playing in the game isn’t “at the top”. As with most things involving your life, you lose again.
I would argue the opposite. I don't think it's either team. They don't respect us at all. We don't respect them.
The last two weeks have been dis-heartening to be sure, but its also easy to see that there is much reason for hope going forward.
