Why are Nebbers douchey??

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I just saw that video of Rhule walking through Iowa’s side of the field trying to be a “tough” guy elf.

Why in the hell did he think he had to do that stupid shit?

It does kill their fan base to lose their Super Bowl to Iowa every year.

It’s hard not to love watching them lose to big bro year after year!

 

[QChawks]

it's the same reason short guys love to drive big pickups

 

[bagdropper]

I just think this year after year malaise they're in, combined with every one of their fans knowing their not long ago history...is wearing very very thin on their fandom psyche.

Losing to Iowa constantly simply brings that anger out.

 

[Nagarunja]

Rhule just looks like a nervous Nellie. It's no wonder they constantly choke. Probably pretty hard to keep your shit together when you look over at your coach and he's got an elf in the headlights look to him.

Contrast that with Ferentz's steely-eyed composure.

 

[ShonnDeereGreene]

Like most drunk, has-beens, they’re just angry at the world. And btw, their entire world is Nebraska. I don’t think most in that state have ever actually ventured outside of the state unless it was to a road football game and back and then right back home…because it’s scary out there!!

And it hurts extra bad when you see the state next door always remind them they are inferior. Even Iowa State has passed them up. Colorado gets all the splash. Kansas and K-State both have more recent success. The Dakotas both have better football programs in their divisions. Everywhere they look they are reminded about their shit program.

Is there an actual video of it? Someone posted something on a Nebraska page but that couldn’t have been it. If so, it’s a bunch of nothing. Now the no handshake and tough guy act is a completely different story. That’s bush league and I think real Nebraska fans will tell you that too.

He looks like Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Yep, when ever they get on that bridge to cross the Mighty Mo they immediately turtle up.

It's bush league for an opposing coach to walk through a team's warm up. He knows it, you know it, everyone knows it.

Yup. Their last mythical national championship was 27 years ago. Their players weren't even born yet.

Well not what I saw. If it’s him walking around a mostly empty field and then nodding at Gill as he fiddled with his gloves. That’s absolutely positively nothing. Again the handshake stuff is completely different. Have you even watched the video?!?

 

[AEG82]

Personally, I think the Matt Rhule portion of this being egregious is a bit far fetched. The hand shake thing, I get though. Also, the vitriol that Nebby players have had the last few games against us pisses me off a lot more.

There is video of the douche walking through a half dozen or more Hawks in our warm-up area, who just ignored him. Not a big deal just kind of stupid. Nebby warm up area was the other end of the field.

The "prayer" bullshit was exactly that. No need to "pray" on the Hawkeye logo. Just plain disrespect. The cops were there because they know it would have started a brawl.

All the drama enhances the hate between the teams... I love that.

I was in Lincoln a few months back. Was crossing the street and Rhule was at the stoplight driving a massive jacked up jeep with massive tires waving to people like he was in a parade. I laughed and thought this very thing.

Yea. The fake outrage like you couldn’t do it on the endzone or 40 yard line or anywhere else is pretty funny.

To people that are 5'14"...yes!😉

 

[MitchLL]

Speaking of the handshake drama...one of the Nebby players involved is in the portal.
You just know the order came from Rhule.

Yeah, like looking around the neighborhood and realizing you have the crappiest house around, even though you paid the most for it.

Is he good?

I kid, I kid

Do the fuskers pray at midfield at their home games? 🤔

High character guy!!!!

I kid, I kid.
They don't exist in Lincoln.

 

[IChawkeye45]

I think that’s kind of the point. They can literally pray anywhere. It doesn’t need to be on the 50 yard line on the logo.

 

[grosie#2]

The Nebraska the home where losing coaches go.

 

[libbity bibbity]

Yup. Their last mythical national championship was 27 years ago. Their players weren't even born yet.

When was Iowas last mythical championship?

 

[pistachio1999]

Nope.

Maybe they just wanted to read some books to kids at midfield.

 

[pistachio1999]

Those areas are clearly labeled as no prayer zones. There is only one spot on the field that God recognizes as a proper prayer location and that is on the Tiger Hawk at midfield. I think it states such in the Bible.

Found some footage after he took a wrong turn and ended up in the ped mall...

I always viewed him as the nervous dork kid who may have crapped his pants on the bus. Then will go off on his own and try to set booby traps on other kids to show them what’s up.

Douchy is as douchy does. I can’t begin to say how satisfying this win was after the pre game douchery. Who is this Ruhl d-bag and the Nebbercan’tevers anyway?

 

[Bow.to.the.Narrative]

You sure didn't hear Gopher fans jabbering about their 1960 MNC in 1987. Nebraska is the red-headed stepchild of Al Bundy and Uncle Rico.

 

[HawkOptimist]

Yep. As my dad asked Sunday, why can’t they pray in the locker room or on the sideline or in the tunnel leading to the field? I told him, “Cuz they’re attention whores who are more interested in the attention they get for praying on the 50 than actually praying.”

And I’m not wrong.

 

[hawkcub]

Remember when Husker fans tried to pretend this was just a run of a mill game for them? Those days seemed to have disappeared.

 

[WaterTower]

Nubby fans have finally come to the realization that coming into the Big was a huge error and a championship will never happen. Bitter people live in Lincoln and across Nubbyland.

 

[WEH8ST8HAWK]

Please always remember these two things when thinking about our friends to the west. Nebraska fans eat corn the long way and that it is always windy in Iowa because Nebraska blows. Go Hawks!

To be fair, the B10 officiating has been out to get them for years!!!

Add the fact that they simply give games away every year. Their special teams are horrible and Rhule hasn't fixed it.

Always take the opportunity to yell "Go Hawks". It destroys their soul.

 

[HawkeyeinOmaha]

Inferiority complex.

And the people in the scheduling office.
