    Indiana/Iowa: Who do we want to win?

    Good luck to Rutgers. I hope you get in -- and I hope IU fans get crushed again tomorrow by being left out.

    Holy freakin' Hawkeyes!

    Sorry, I forgot how butthurt you guys are now that you suck.

    Holy freakin' Hawkeyes!

    Pelini went 3-1 during the second-worst four season stretch of Iowa football since 1979. Don't get too proud of your former mediocre coach (who was better than your current bad coach).

    Penn State behind Iowa at the half

    Not entirely fair. In fact, I think Jewell is probably a mid-round NFL draft pick. Barkley? He might be the best NFL running back right now, let alone next year. Even Ezekiel Elliott has never looked THAT good. Barkley's bigger and faster than Elliott to boot. It's insane how good he is.

    We're back baby!

    Watch the second half of Nebraska/Rutgers and then immediately watch the second half of Iowa/Penn State. I think you'll see the difference in the quality of play and be shocked by it.

    Upset alert

    That was a really solid post overall. There is one more HUGE reason to give Riley another year: Fire him this quickly and what hot, new flavor-of-the-year coach is going to choose Nebraska over other worthy Power 5 teams looking for a new coach? You're in a no-win situation right now. You either...

    Targetting!!!

    You know what's worse--the stupid replays. Yes, some are good and necessary. But how many damn times do I have to see a replay of a 6 yard catch that may or may not have been a catch because of a sliver of an inch of a shoe was in or out of bounds? It completely wrecks the flow of the game. I...

    There's nothing more that can be said

    Even as an Iowa fan, I think this is a reasonable outlook. It's Riley's second year, too little to know how good/bad he'll be. Recruiting is pretty good from what I've seen and he's been using guys who were not his choices because he's had to (as every new coach does). Iowa is playing better...

    Just embarrassing

    Oh, please. Iowa was favored to win the West in the preseason and for good reason. They had everyone important coming back. They had injuries and somehow had poor chemistry early in the year (probably believed their own hype and thought they didn't have to go out and actually perform on game...

    Just embarrassing

    History? He hasn't even been the coach for two full seasons! LOL

    There's nothing more that can be said

    Relax. Everyone said that about Wisconsin this year, too, and they've been playing with a RS FR QB. Not saying Nebraska will be all-world or even win the division, but the team is only 2 years into Riley's tenure and made noticeable strides. Iowa played lights out and are probably playing better...

    My thoughts on NU and the B1G

    Did Texas tank because Nebraska left? Because Texas sucks and they used to be very good or at least solid. Was TCU even a B8/B12 team before Nebraska left the conference? Texas Tech used to be so bad before the 2000s I didn't even know they existed. Okie State used to be mediocre at best...

    I'll throw you a bone or two

    What team do want to see NU matched with in our bowl game?

    A PAC-12 or B12 team would be perfect for you, in that case.

    I think we are 1 smart pro style qb away

    If he had put some air under it that would have been a completion. A short gain, but at least not a turnover. Compare with Beatherd's pass on the TE screen, lobbed it high over a defender's outstretched arms and resulted in a 20 yard gain inside the red zone. However ... I think another...
