KNebby is going down a path their fans haven’t seen in years. That shoe is now on their foot.
Wow. Nebraska sucks.

Raridon, Farniok, Honas, just some of the players who had it down to Iowa or Nebraska. To those young men: do you like apples?
I don't know what the all-time losing streak is but the Huskers are up to 8.

i get that - the best coaches seem to be guys that struggled and had to put in the EXTRA effort to be just average at the highest levels. Ummm - so how did Frost do in the NFL?
His old team won a Fiesta(or Orange) bowl 2 years before he took over with Blake bortles under center.
No doubt. Purdue had some really bad drops too that would’ve made the final score even worse.
I don't think that's a certainty as Frosty doesn't appear to have a level-headed temperament conducive to such a turnaround.

I agree with your second reply. I assume you feel this way about all coaches who are salary peers?
Their D is worse than their offense.
I'm a history buff so I had to pull a book off the shelf and look it up.
1960-1980, worst Iowa records
0-11, 1973, Frank Lauterbur
1-10, 1971, Frank Lauterbur
1-9, 1965, Jerry Burns
1-8-1, 1967, Ray Nagel
2-9, 1978, Bob Commings
2-8, 1966, Ray Nagel
3-8, 1974, Bob Commings
3-8, 1975, Bob Commings
3-7-1, 1972, Frank Lauterbur
There is a popular misconception that Iowa suffered a streak of losing seasons between Jerry Burns' 5-4 1961 team and Hayden Fry's 8-4 1981 team. Ray Nagel's 1968 and 1969 teams both finished 5-5.
Nebraska 3nd longest losing streak behind UTEP. How much lower could that sham of a football team go
What do they have in common? They aren't 1-10 seasons. Your post was inaccurate
At least one week longer with a loss at Wisconsin, so last 9 and maybe 10 due to traveling to NW the following week.
Might get that first win after NW with Goofs coming to town, followed by Bethune Cookman. But what a mess in Lincoln.
Interesting stat after Nebraska’s loss today. They have now gone 15 seasons in a row with at least 4 losses.
Wrestling is very technical. It is about leverage, positioning, etc. There have been some very storing and athletic guys who never became wrestling superstars as they refused to embrace the technical side. You are not aware of them because they are gone in HS or sooner.
A time of bad clothing, lime green appliances, disco, and not very good Iowa football teams.
When steam power was the shit.
Frost has talent that Kirk didn't have until 2002. Fact.
Maybe, just maybe, if their head coach would wear his hat crooked they’d go on an undefeated streak. I don’t know.
I know it's hard to admit but there is just too much truth in what I said. Look at our bowl record and the results during that time frame. Iowa Football has not been good during this decade.
Too much truth in what I said. We benefit greatly from playing in a crap division. We are not that good of a football program. Just look at our bowl record and results this decade.
You do definitely sound like someone who should use 'we' in referring to Iowa football. I know you are just pushing for them to be better. Your balanced approach is appreciated.
They are worse than last year. How is that even POSSIBLE?!?! They are making their flyover state look BAD.
UN's last win was against Purdue on 10-28-17. They play Bethune-Cookman on October 27th. They have a reasonable possibility of not going a year without a win.
Q. Why is it so much more difficult for Iowa’s defense to play well in Kinnick than when they’re on the road?
A. Because they’re wearing blackshirts.

My team is Iowa. I'm just a realist. Iowa football this decade has been a step back in quality compared to the decade before. I want Iowa football to be heading in a positive direction. We have benefited from playing in a very poor division and weak non conference games. Just look at our bowl record and the blowout losses. The football program isn't as good as it was 10 years ago. Right now we basically have 8 games every year where we are the favored more talented team just because of the poor quality in other West teams and our poor non con schedule. Kirk is set up every year to win 7-8 wins which is good enough for our fanbase even if he goes 2-5 in bowl games this decade with blowout losses. Since 2011 he is 1-5 in bowl games with a terrible record vs Wisconsin our biggest West rival.
You don`t recognize a tear down project when you see one? Frost is in the process and I doubt he cares much what their record will be. He will rebuild with his systems, staff, and recruits. I expected a crash and burn with a new staff. None of the staffs since TO have done a makeover, but Frost will do it his way. I think it is a smart move.
Meanwhile UCF also completely turns over their coaching staff and is on their way to a 12 win season.
UCF was undefeated and beat Auburn last year to end the season. They lost their coach because he was a Neb guy. Neb was a trainwreck. You folks here are sharp
Or maybe with the talent in Florida just about any competent coach can and has won at UCF in that conference. Doesn't mean you can coach in the B1G.
