Did anyone else notice that Michigan fan with the "0:01" shirt? He should make himself a 0:02 shirt to go with it now!
It would be like Michigan to rub people’s nose in their cheating. I saw that shirt and was instantly pissed … their season is already going to be crap and I can’t wait for all of it.

Each time you retards start an Iowa thread we fall more to the little brother end of the pendulum.

No kidding. I was happily cheering for Iowa. Because I dislike Michigan farrrrrrrrr more than Iowa. You know, Michigan, a fellow blue blood who, like us, has National Championships in the modern football era. I don't really think about Iowa at all.

I swear, some of our sheep fans are so desperate for the fake Iowa rivalry forced on us by our dumbass administration to become a reality. It's pretty pathetic.

No, actually the Big 10 conference force this as a rivalry by putting the game at the end of the year with a fake trophy and on our black Friday.

Our admin submitted Iowa as our only protected rival. Either way, it was fabricated, we went along with it, and it's always been meaningless.

If you say so, did they ask for a trophy game too?
Being the closet neighbors in conference play and since it’s the holiday is another reason.

Nebraska has more history with Minnesota but the longest standing rivalry in college football is Minnesota/Wisconsin.

Always should have been Penn St. Other than the border state factor, much much much more of a natural rivalry. For obvious reasons.

Agreed. This "rivalry" always seemed very contrived but here we are.

I think most Iowa fans would prefer scheduling a higher caliber or historic opponent on black Friday. Oregon, Wisconsin etc. This series has been pretty one sided and predictable.

But it’s the further away for each team to travel when everyone else play closer to home on Black Friday only except would be Rutgers and MSU and neither had a choice with last stick in the draw.

Not saying we‘d wouldn’t have a better rivalry with Penn St because of history. But it made more sense.

Man some of you clarkeyes are absolutely stupid.

Oregon and Washington are huge rivals and Wisconsin/ Minnesota a bigger rivalry game than clarkeyes/ Wisky.

Minnesota is a rival to Iowa as well and has been since the 1930's playing for the Floyd of Rosedale. You can have more than one rival.

Not sure that computes for you however the main point remains.

It does

OU, CU and mizzou are our bitter rivals

Iowa and NU are like divorce attorneys who belong to the same country club

we know your biggest rival by far is Minn followed by iowast

Never said they weren’t did I?

The longest standing rivalry in FBS college football is Minnesota/Wisconsin despite they hate you Clarkeyes more than we do.

Since 198o it’s iowa 12 Nebraska 8. Is that pretty one sided to you or are you new to viewing college football or just bad at math?

Since the heroes trophy thing started, Iowa leads 11-4. Iowa has won 10 out of the last 11.

I'm just saying it's a dumb rivalry and I'm sure Iowa would like to play a historic rival or more competitive team in November.

How many of the games weren’t competitive besides last year? When Iowa state won several games in a row did they start saying it would be nice to have another instate rival like northern Iowa or Iowa western. OU beat us for a lot of years straight and we turned the tide. Same will happen with you numbnuts one of these days . Neither of us will win the conference nor a playoff game this year so what’s it matter what bowl game you go to ?

They have two losses, even if only one officially. Their win against SEC is looking less impressive. Maybe their fans will turn on Kyle.

Can’t you comprehend your other two big rivals are Wisconsin and Minnesota and their rivalry stands over year two in comparison.

ISU won 5 straight starting in 1998. That's their longest win streak. Iowa's is 15 straight.

We can't get out of that rivalry game because the state government actually said it has to continue.

I'm talking about the black Friday game though. Every damn year for about a decade now Iowa will win 90 percent of the time.

It does nothing for viewership or strength of schedule and I'm sure you guys are sick of it for your own reasons aren't ya? Wouldn't you rather be playing someone else?

You mean waving at the hospital kids?

No that's something we don't have to practice.

Granted it's not as cool as the Red Balloon thing but it is what it is.

Isn't crazy that Iowa has won 10 of the last 11 yet Nebraska travels better, has better home attendance, makes much more money and the media is always wondering when Nebraska will be back. Never heard that said about Iowa. Nebraska has been the bottom of the barrel but still has a much better chance to be nationally relevant at some point because of the money, fan base, history.
