That their all time best stretch of a period has occurred simultaneously during our worst. So legit!
Iowa is so good...

With how the fans feel about frost, absolutely. If frost gets Nebraska to regular winning 8-9 games he'll be a lifer. Especially if they losses are respectable
5 straight losing seasons. 6/7 years with losing seasons. Whatever, I'll take Iowa's last 20 years over ours any day of the week and twice on sundays
As another poster has stated to you:

You can hide your bitter disappointment in this program all you want and find reasons to make yourself feel better, but it doesn't change the facts above.
Iowa finished #8 in America in final poll 2002, 2003, 2004 and had an Orange Bowl win to top off the 2009 season-- these are encompassed in the last 20 year span of comparing the two programs.
While yes, ofc saying Iowa sucks is the way, lets try to remember that they have been killing us lately. Makes me not wanna talk any trash beyond Iowa Sucks.
Super, still not interested. iowa hasn’t finished in the top 5 in 60 plus years, that’s right even during Iowa’s lone out right conference championship post 1960 in 1985 they didn’t finish in the top 5. All those other “shared” conference titles, no top 5 finishes. Nebraska didn’t maintain its elite status from 1962-2001, but was still playing for conference championships occasionally 2002-2014.
It's Iowa week and I just wanted to trash talk. We can still do that you know, considering the facts listed in my op.
C'mon people. Apathy hasn't set in THAT bad yet has it??

these past 5 seasons have really taken any argument out for who has had the better program the last 20 years. It's Iowa and it's not close. maybe the 2020's will be better but again, off to a rough start.
Nebraska owned the head to head through 2014. You’re getting carried away with the whole 20 year thing. Definitely would take the limited success of iowa 2015 to present over Nebraska current status of zero success.
No you wouldn’t. The difference in fanbases is that at Nebraska, if we were having the “success” that Iowa is having, we would be wanting more. Iowa is content with their current level of success.
One year at a time. iowa currently owns the head to head with nothing else to show for it. Nothing about iowa tells me they’ll be winning 9-10 consistently over the next five years.
Iowa is so good that from 1979 to 2012, in the eight games played against Nebraska, the Hawkeyes won one game (1981) vs. Huskers.
From 2013 to 2020, the Huskers one win came in an OT game in 2014, while the Hawkeyes flipped the script with 7 wins in the last 8 games in the new B1G series.
That's Football now with the new Heroes Trophy Game.
Since 1979, the series is tied 8-8, since Iowa's last win in 2020.

You're the epitome of what's wrong in the fan base here-- you are trapped into a time machine and wanting to re-invent the 70s and 80s. Until you get out, look at the reality of Nebraska football for the past 20 years, and realize much has changed in that time, you'll continue to be dillusional and disappointed all in one.
You mean the results of the last 20 years that pretty much drew even with Iowa’s “success”, right?
You’ll know your program is actually relevant when you don’t feel the need to come over on another team’s board (a 3-8 team, no less) to brag about your legacy of whothehellcares.com bowl appearances. Sorry your fanbase will never get there.
I know it’s beneath you but you should venture to Iowa boards more often. At 9-2, there is ton of dissension within the fan base. After pretty much every game this season, Kirk and Brian get called out.
I would say the era that really matters now, began in 2014, when the College Playoff era replaced the BCS and when the Big Ten split into the West & East.
When it helps sell media, the term Blueblood gets used, but we are in the new CFP era. Only 11 teams have made the Playoffs and only four programs have won, since 2014.
The Sooners have played in the CFP semi-finals, only to miss out on an advance, in a great game in the Rose Bowl against Georgia, back a ways now.
The Bulldogs have bascially been #1 all season after their pedestrian 10-3 win over Clemson, who has finally made it back into the CFP Top 25 Rankings.
The Playoffs should be expanded. We shall see how that plays out.
In my lifetime, the Iowa-Nebraska series is now tied 8-8. Since 2014, the Hawkeyes have been fortunate to win 6 straight in the last 7 games played.
On Friday, the Heroes Trophy Game will be played for the 11th game, since Nebraska joined the Big Ten.
Ohio State is the lone Big Ten program to win the CFP, win a game in the CFP among the two B1G teams that have made the CFP, and have won every game in the Big Ten, since 2019.
Friday's game should be a good, likely competitive one. Iowa is seeking an opportunity to play in Indianapolis. They need help though.
Ohio State looks like the top candidate to make it eight straight seasons East over West in the Big Ten.
Both programs have work ahead.

There’s one constant, Nebraska fans will continue to concentrate on Nebraska football on the husker board and iowa fans will continue to concentrate on Nebraska football on the iowa board…..I’d take iowa level success 2015-present. Nothing about iowa football prior to 2015 interests me.
Lucky for Ioway they only played Nebraska 6 times between 1979-2010..
Ioway would have won a couple between 83- 89. Nebraska would have won the rest and in the 90’s Ioway might have won one or two in that decade.. 21-12 by now if they played every year since 1979..
LOL, and had Nebraska played Minnesota in the 1940s youd have lost 10 of 10 or played ND when Rockne was coach lost every time. Your point is silly and isn't speculation a wonder. In modern history, Iowa has dominated Nebraska. Those are simply the facts.
Actually, Nebraska played Notre Dame when Rockne was coach two years in a row and beat them both times.
Ioway only dominated the past 6 years..
When has modern football start?
answer the question and I’ll give you the true answer..

In fact the only team to beat the 4 horsemen twice was Nebraska..
Always said Herky’s don’t know any college football history besides Nile Kinnick..
if we dig deep enough in ancestry.com i bet it was a relative of Clester Johnson who steered ole Nile away from the huskers to Iowa
