No, that's my case in point exactly. We have arguably the most stable program in the country. We have a top 25 fanbase, we make top 25 money, we play in the 2nd largest conference ( and I think we make more money than the 1st).

We are not a "football school" that would take that and push all in every now and then to get to a point of actually competing for a championship. Get out 9 wins, keep people happy, bowl game after Christmas, no duis, don't risk much won't lose much. Shit man Brad has/had to fight thr university to even help get the Swarm started.

We are not a die hard football school.

Don't look now bud but that's our team. Lol

Are Lachey, Brown, and Anderson out?

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

Are Lachey, Brown, and Anderson out?

Yes.

And those are likely our 3 best playmakers..... who combine for 450 yards and 2 TDs in there collective careers.

100% wrong. If you are a top 25 football school over a century. You are a football school. 108 other schools would kill to be in our position.

It’s not just administration though. Our fans aren’t obsessed enough to fund the kind of NIL war chest needed to be at the next level.

Agreed. While recent past performance doesn't display this it will inevitably be seen at nebraska.

Football is a fun thing for Iowan's to do on a Saturday and we win enough for it to be a good excuse for a vacation in late December.


In Nebraska, the game dictates your week. It's iowa vs iowa state every week.


Which is why it kills them we beat them.

How long are they out?

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

How long are they out?

Brown is just the UI right, all else good?


Look man, if you are full on "go hawks" because that's the normal place to be, more power to you, I'll book my tickets for thr outback bowl sometime in October.
