Wisky/Fusker game: my brain and heart want different outcomes

[paladinhawk]

While I know we should be rooting against the Badgers I really would kind of like to see Nebraska
get demolished. Oh well, I guess I won't be unhappy whatever the outcome...

Iowa is not going to the Big Ten championship game.

 

[nu2u]

Nebraska's defense looks improved to me. If the Huskers establish a decent ground game running Ozigbo and Wilbon (two RBs recruited by Iowa) instead of heavily relying on Tanner Lee, I see this as a 6-7 point game either way.

Ozigbo is a beast. If he gets rolling Wisky will have their hands full.

Probably not but what a loser mentality.

 

[Underscore2]

I wish Nebby and Wisky could both lose, then burn in hell, then cancel their football programs, then burn in hell some more. If that's not available, Wisky losing always is a good thing to hope for.

 

[Devastating_Demon_Death]

Probably not but what a loser mentality.

I call it realistic. What has captain clueless done to prove otherwise?

Oh yeah, he squatted on the 30 yard line in Columbus with a buck thirty and timeout left.

This. Seriously, f*** Wisconsin. They are our biggest rival, plain and simple. Go Nebraska for many reasons.

 

[scotthawk1964]

I too would love to see them both lose, but since that is not an option tomorrow, I guess I would say that a Nebby win would be better for Iowa. Nebby has a much better chance to lose another game then Bucky, and Iowa would then be in a position to run the table (theoretically speaking) and thus win the West. Odds of us running the table, um, not good, but that is the jist of it.

 

[rufus-hawk]

I dislike Nebraska more than Wisconsin.
+
If Iowa winds up 1 game behind Wisconsin for B1G west champions, my cheering against Nebraska tomorrow won't be the reason why. If only I had that kind of power.
=
Will probably wind up cheering for Bucky.

Iowa & Wis are the biggest rivalry in the West but can never root for lil bro Neb.

2004.

 

[And1Hawk]

Wisconsin wins by 21+

 

[mvhomerj]

2004.

Cool, that was only 13 years ago.

 

[bagdropper]

1) it's a win win for Iowa, these two playing
2) hold my nose and root for Nebby if one would make me choose
3) I have a hard time understanding how Nebby wins this game, but anything is possible

Play turnover free, defense plays great and turn Wisconsin over a couple times, run the ball while Wisconsin doesn't...who knows?

 

[Hawki40]

Although it could potentially help Iowa if Wisconsin loses (in theory), I don't hate Wisconsin on the same level as I do Nebraska. There is no scenario that would have me cheering for Cornhuskers.

2015 BT West Division Title 8-0 BT and 12-2 played in the BT Championship game and was 6" away from going to the CFP. YUP Caption clueless has done nothing, in 2016 Iowa finished in 2nd place in the BT West Division, but please keep those haters glasses on.

Wisconsin wins by 21+

Bless you my son.

Oh no! The dreaded "loser mentality" put down!

2015 BT West Division Title 8-0 BT and 12-2 played in the BT Championship game and was 6" away from going to the CFP. YUP Caption clueless has done nothing, in 2016 Iowa finished tied for 2nd place in the BT West Division, but please keep those haters glasses on.

FIFY, Tied for 2nd in 2016.

FIFY, Tied for 2nd in 2016.

with Nebraska who Iowa beat 40-10, but the point Iowa under KF is doing far better than a certain poster is making it out to be.

 

[jhawkinaz]

probably depends some-what on which side of the state you live on/ grew up on.

I hope Nebby gets throttled.

I’m with this guy. I won’t, can’t cheer for Nebraska...unless they play Iowa State.

It's a downward trajectory. Gets blown out routinely, both during the season and bowl games. If 8-4 and getting smoked in a bowl game is good enough, by all means continue living a very average life.

finishing 2nd in the West is a downward trajectory then you have a serious problem. there are 7 games left to the17 season and consisedering all the FR, RSFR, SO's and RSSO's the future is very bright, except to a blind hater like yourself.

 

[MITCH492]

My brain and heart want the same thing today.

Go Illinois!

But it won't happen.

 

[speed4power]

I'm rooting for Nebby today. Still holding out hope that we can win the west.

 

[Wasnt-drunk-didnt-troll]

I hope wiscy kills them and then I'll pray for Michigan to beat them and we go to Indy with the head to head. We need Nebraska to hit the mat hard and stay on the mat if we are going to get ahead of them in the west long term.

We aren't getting ahead of Wiscy or Nebraska. This team is aweful on both sides of the ball. Might not get out of today with a win.

Yep. Can't stand either team, but Wisconsin is worse. Want them to get beat BAD. Go Neb (puke)

Thanks for posting all over this board today. You missed your calling as a college head football coach. Great work?

 

[millah_22]

If Nebraska wins tonight they have a smooth path to the Big Ten Champ game.

Nebraska still has to play Iowa, OSU and PSU, as much as it pains me Nebraska by beating Wisconsin will only help Iowa.

 

[TheRealHerky]

I'm hoping they play a 10 overtime slug fest that tenderizes both teams for the remainder of the season.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Huh???? Wisconsin, not Nebraska has the smoothest/easiest path. Go Nebraska. Now I need a shower.

You are making quite the impression on this board in the 2 weeks you have been around. Seriously, just stop.

Iowa us already ahead of Nebraska and not that far behind Wisconsin. But keep trying.

I answered his question.
