On Tuesday, Crain & Cone ranked the top-five games for next season in the Big Ten, with an honorable mention being Indiana vs. Nebraska





Which game are you most excited to watch this fall for the 'Huskers?

Indiana. v Nebraska... I think Nebraska's prison wallet will be very loose and fragile by the end of the night.
Well put, or stuck, as the case may be. This game will be yet another loss against a ranked team, so I don't see why it would be a top game. In fact, the game will serve to showcase the enormous chasm that separates Cignetti from the Preacher.

Ferentz makes Rhule look like a HS coach.

Cignetti will make Rhule wish he never became a coach at all.

I don't get this ranking of being a top 5 game. Dude sounds looney picking it. What part of the game will Rhule outperform, surprise, out-coach Cignetti? Where's the rabbit in the hat here? I would love to believe it and still think we can out-perform this season - but THIS game being a top 5?

I think two years ago the NU-Hoosier game was a "big deal", so maybe they are basing it off of that?

With that said, NU is still a huge TV draw and there is a good chance both teams are 5-0 (I think?) so...I could kind of see why it would be a big deal.

Because the Nebraska football program is like a car accident…hard to drive by without looking at it.

Literally the same program as iowa the last 25 years except NU played in a title game. The rest of it has all been super lame football with nothing to show for it.

I hear ya. And yes, our name is still a good national TV draw.

I get some PTSD because I swear we've looked at the schedule and dreamed of a 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, 7-0 start heading into a big game for like 5 years in a row and it never happens.

I've never felt less anticipation for a Nebraska season, but on the whole I'm pretty excited for CFB to be back! Some damn good games to look forward to.

Agreed. And, normally by mid-season when Nebraska is no longer relevant I tend to stop caring much about CFB. This year, however, I am expecting an irrelevant Nebraska by week 6 or 7 and will go back to just enjoying college football for what it is.

Is that another iowa # thing you guys do???

#Cope/BowlEligible

I LOVE IT!

So now you have admitted to #8Wins
and
#7.44Wins

Now this new one? Amazing!

Remember how you said that 8 wins this season would be "a good season"...my god. With the schedule you guys have if you don't win 10 games it is an epic fail.

Somewhat related, just watched "America's Funniest Home Videos, Nebraska football Edition".
Obviously couldn't watch it in one nite. It's a series. Covers the last 10 years of Nebraska football. 6/7 different head coaches.

Great viewing. I give it 5*.😅

6/7 coaches with the same lame results as your 30 year coach?? #7.44

Now, when was the last meaningful game that iowa played in?

When I watch homemade porn it reminds me of iowa football. It is boring...no one looks good...in the end no one is really satisfied but they just stay with each other because they are so afraid of being alone and they fear that they can't do better than that lame "shirts stay on" missionary sex.

I'm just not even thinking about Nebraska. Logically I'd say we should be better than we've been in awhile, but I'm just not willing to go down that road again. Let me see a competent team first. If I see RVP getting run over again I'll know we're in for SSDD.

Have grandpa sit you on his lap and tell you about the good ole days.

When academic standards were lower in Lincoln, the best players had a criminal record, and Tommy had >100 players available.

Huskers are in the Big Boy conference now.

I thought that THIS time you would finally tell us the last meaningful/significant game that iowa played in...maybe it will be in your next post?

Also, why did you capitalize "Big Boy"?

And my grandpa sits on my lap...and it excites me :). Especially when he doesn't have his depends on.

Imagine being a little iowa fan and your grandpa is an iowa fan and you go

"Grandpa can you tell me about the glory days of iowa football"

And grandpa just goes "No"

And you think he is just being a bitter old man...but then as you grow up you realize he couldn't tell you about the glory days of iowa football because there have never actually been any.

They likely have at least 3 Nebraska threads running on their free board, too. They suffer from a great malady of the mind and spirit. They're basically insane football ghouls. It's disgusting.

In all seriousness you seem like a pretty huge dork? I’m going to guess you’re chunky, bald and short? You also live at home and have a model railroad set in the basement as well as collect magic the gathering cards, Pokémon, etc. Am I close?

This Indiana game will shape up as another challenge against a ranked opponent. Maybe this game will be a return to the glory day. Back in '16 when Mike Riley beat #22 Oregon by 3 at home.

That would be sick! I was at that game. Let me take you in the back to that day...

We got to lincoln early to party and tailgate. As we were walking around Lot 11 (I think) I saw this SMOKESHOW girl and told one of my friends something like "My god, that girl is hot"

Fast forward about an hour and I see her again and she comes up to me...turns out she knew me from years before...so we chatted while drinking for the entire game. It was a blast and we got so hammered. Such a great time.

Because I am a gentlemen I will not tell you everything that happened...but I can tell you...that nothing happened because I have zero game.
