Well, I posted nothing about Iowa and didn’t direct anything at you. So, the fact that you decided to go on a weird tirade says something you don’t wanna admit.

Boiler spent the past 2 or 3 years trying to convince everyone that Purdue is some superior job that Brohm would never leave. Now, after Brohm left, he is back making the same claims about the newest coach.
you represent iowa here. you're an iowa fan.

you read every single post here because (insert reason) and you jumped at the opportunity to tangle with our resident purdue fan.

one can only draw the conclusion that you despise purdue. am I wrong? and is isu your only true dual-sided rivalry?

wisconsin and minn would absolutely say each other are their top rivals. it's been proven here how little Nebraska fans care about our annual friendly.

guess that's it, then. the conclusion of my months-long study is this: iowa's only true rival is iowa state and iowa fans despise many additional fanbases unrequited (Nebraska, wisc, minn, purdue)

iowa fan, go look up the definition of “opinion” and get back to me. His hypothetical situation is fine for the Purdue board, it isn’t appreciated here. It’s similar to all the iowa fan hypotheticals we read and hear about regularly. Are you prepared for my quiz that will out you as an iowa turd??
Dude - you make up false narratives and get all fired up about them. It’s a pattern, fix it.

I’ve mentioned several times about how I view the Hawks. I live in Iowa, have good neighbors who are hawks fans, I work with people who are Iowa fans and Nebraska fans and I have friends who are Iowa fans. Similar to BoilerN I stay up to speed with the Iowa program so I can discuss college football with them.

Would any of the aforementioned people think for one second that I’m an Iowa fan … no. Do they dislike the huskers…absolutely. Are they cool with me when we talk football and Huskers… yes, because they are sensible adults.

If Iowa is playing another team would I root for them? Yes, why not, since I spend time learning about their program and have several friends that are hawk fans. I will also typically root for any conference foe vs a game outside of a conference.

Your simple quiz isn’t needed, I don’t know much about Iowa history and frankly don’t care, I just like sending my friends memes with empty trophy cases and them being the KkK of college football and they make reference that I still live in the 90’s and we only have steroid-raged convicts playing for us.

It’s what makes college football fun and why I can’t wait for the season to start. The world is a better place when college football is in season and especially when our Huskers are competitive.

I believe you simply because you seem affable.

if you were an iowa fan you'd be, um, let's say a little crustier.

not on purpose, but based on months of research it just seems their default setting is to despise other fanbases while ours is general apathy. is it cultural? something in the water? us vs them stuff?

would be interested to hear more from other iowa fans. bolded the least surprising portion of your post.

Lol….. @BoilerN stated he didn’t understand why Nebraska fans wouldn’t want to engage with other fan bases and I simply explained that his opinion that Brohm would leave Nebraska for Louisville would be best kept to himself or the Purdue board. Similarly, iowa fans opinions on Nebraska football and it’s storied history are not needed over here.

Prove to me you’re not an iowa fan by answering this simple question with a yes or no, that’s it, just yes or no.

Do nearly all sources on college football still consider Nebraska football a blueblood???

The west, which I would imagine is soon to be gone when the other schools join, is literally the division where goals and expectations do not exist.

The fans of these teams are like "I just hope we make bowl games 3 out of every 4 years" or "well, we don't play OSU or Michigan or PSU, so looks like we have a shot to get 8 wins if we don't lose to little brother ISU"
Well put.

They come here because people actually post but then when us Husker fans don't talk about how amazing their program/school are, they get mad.

Imagine thinking PU is a destination job for a brand new young HC. That guy started putting feelers out the day he took that job, which is pretty much what all coaches do unless you are at one of the bluest of the blue bloods.

They are just like anyone else, always looking out for a better gig. I teach at an amazing school with great kids and I still look, because you never know what is out there.
You literally named a bunch of lessor or equal programs though. But I come here for the Nebraska stuff.

In an earlier post you equated Purdue and Nebraska football coaching jobs, that opinion will not go over well on this board and you should keep those opinions to yourself or post them on the Purdue board.

Nebraska has been horrible for 6-7 seasons, but don’t get that confused with Nebraska football now equals Purdue. No bigten west team has ever won a game that matters on the national stage. The bigten west is easily one of the worst divisions in P5 football and I’m embarrassed as a Nebraska fan that Nebraska has done so poorly since 2015 against its division opponents especially after how well Nebraska did for the first 4 years, Wisconsin excluded.
I never equated the Purdue and Nebraska jobs. Not sure where I did actually...

oklahoma state, north carolina, houston and colorado are all better jobs (Heisman winners, national titles, top 5 picks, billionaire boosters, desirable locations, etc.)

I agree purdue is better than iowa state. one of 11 B1G programs that can say that (not indiana, nw, rutgers).

Next we are going to hear how PU has more fans in Indiana than ND does.

I agree with all of this, except that I think Purdue and Iowa State are about the same.

Ya I like it as well. Something to do this time of year. Don't understand why people get hurt by someone who lives in state getting upset about me being here. Lol
Simple, because you come here with the false premise that you want to talk Nebraska football. You don’t, you want to attempt to educate us on Purdue football. I don’t care about Purdue football except when they fire a poor coach, or the coach that has brought them a modicum of success leaves from a better gig. Also the week Nebraska plays Purdue. That’s it. Same with Iowa minus the coaching changes.

I read all the time. Comes from living in Nebraska. Brohm is the only coach to leave willingly in a long long time and it had nothing to do with Purdue. He would have left anywhere for Purdue. He got Purdue back to where they should be though. Thankful for that!

Iowa state isn't a better job... Oklahoma state is the only clear upgrade actually. He can win as much at Purdue as any of those other places. Fortunately for Purdue, not every coach is trying to get to their alma mater. But keep telling me Purdue is a bad job...
Your posts absolutely reek of insecurity and Napoleon syndrome.

The only time Purdue was worth a **** in football was in the late 60's with Leroy Keyes.

Other than that, what have they done?

I think the dislike of the Huskers has more to do with them seeing the Huskers have so much success for so long on a national stage and even though, geographically speaking, there aren’t a ton of reasons why we should have been so dominate and them … so not.

What I have gathered is they believe we got there the wrong way, with low character (something they still mention now) guys and a lot of steroids. Whereas they look at Iowa as squeaky clean and that is one of the reasons they are fine with a middling team year in and year out. You can have high character and success as we showed for so long.

I also think Scott Frost quotes rubbed a lot of people the wrong way when he made reference to surprise that Iowa was out-hitting us. Ultimately saying they were weak back in the day and should still be. I wouldn’t be surprised if his quotes were painted to the practice facility walls.

Also I think they believe they should be better than what they are … but Ferentz football is going to get you what you got and it ain’t changing until he does … which has many frustrated.

All I know - it would be nice to start mopping the floor with the west this year and making it 2 in a row vs Iowa.

Make or break year for Schiano? That's stupid if it's true. If you're Rutgers and you've hired a good football coach, just keep him. Don't make changes just for the sake of making changes. Same goes for Indiana and Tom Allen.

Damn right Purdue is a good job.

I had no idea Minnesota has had 14 players drafted since 2020.

Patience, patience with the Big Red. Dead on, 100% correct.

Off the record? Some might do that.
Off the record they can't wait to talk ****...and sometimes they might even do it as a joke.

Anyone would...at any job in any field. Especially if it is "off the record"

Then "on the record" they all just say great things about each other because it is a total fraternity and they all look out for each other.

I would think that the sources they use are sources they know and trust. Last year's coaching view on Scott Frost was spot on and, if anything, a little too positive. All in all, I think the coaches they use pretty much stick to rule #1 in coaching and that is- don't talk bad about other coaches.

Ok. Better tell those that brought Purdue up as well. Because I didn't start the Purdue conversation
I look at it like this. If I and a few of my buddies are sitting around my backyard, drinking beer and talking **** about people I probably don’t want the people I’m talking **** about to show up in my backyard.

You see the people on this board are like my buddies. You are like the dude we’re talking **** about. I really don’t want to talk **** about you to you, and I definitely don’t want to listen to you tell us how cool you are.

It still amazes me how much B1G fanbases care about Nebraska. They are constantly on this board. I can't imagine ever carrying about teams like Purdue, Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, nw, Michigan State, and the other slaps I'm forgetting.

At least be somewhat accurate when you talk ****... as mentioned, I come here to read up on Nebraska. Since I live in the state and go to a game or two a year, I like to know what I'm watching. Seeing you be clueless on Purdue is a bonus.

If you didn't post anything about Purdue, and just "read up on Nebraska" it would be different. But you come to a Nebraska board and want to tell us all about your middle of the road program and quite frankly, IF I wanted to know anything more about your middle of the road program, I would research it for myself.

Since this is a Nebraska board, you will typically find Nebraska fans discussing all things Nebraska, which would include opponents. As a Nebraska fan, I will look at Purdue in a different light than you do. Again, if I want accuracy, I wouldn't ask a Purdue fan, because they will give me their version of accurate which is going to be slanted toward Purdue being a better program than they really are.

Similarly, if I were a Purdue fan, getting info on Nebraska from a bunch of dudes that love Nebraska, probably isn't going to be the most unbiased and down the middle analysis. So it appears that you are wasting your time. Any info you will get on here is going to be opinions at best.

I live in Texas, you know what message boards I never visit? Every school in the state of Texas. When I lived in Oklahoma, did I visit the OU and OSU message boards? Nope.

I am left to believe that Purdue, doesn't have a very active online community. So you come on here so you can talk about your team to people who you believe to be interested in your team. Outside of a couple who have responded they like it, the rest of the responses have been that we don't care about your squad.
