Fans may not but clearly our players have embraced it. Their players have embraced it from day one. When someone takes great enjoyment in kicking your *** every year it tends to change your thoughts process.

I can tell how Garrett and those guys reacted to getting that trophy last time in Iowa City they they have clearly "embraced the hate*.

Whether we as fans embrace it or not doesn't matter as much.

What I've found is that somehow our fans ( not u necessarily) don't wanna embrace it because they don't view Iowa as our equal historically . They don't wanna give up that feeling of superiority by admitting it means a bit more. I get it.. unfortunately for us in the here and now they have been the better program. I'm finally glad our players embrace it no matter what we do as fans.


I want all the smoke with Iowa...and I can say that and STILL think we are a historically better program than them. The 90s can't save us Friday night. We gotta go earn that ****!!

My hot (not so hot lol) take

Part of it for me is that I live in Colorado and I have family in western NE. About the only time I am in eastern NE is when I am at a game, which has been quite rare over the last decade. So, long story short is that don’t see or interact with Iowa fans hardly at all.

Another reason is that it always felt forced. Here’s the deal, we have decided that you two have be rivals. And here’s a lame *** trophy with no history.

Iowa is the only team we've played every year since joining the B1G in 2010. They are the only B1G team we are guaranteed to play every year. No need to disparage the ugly trophy. We are officially rivals at this point in time.

Agreed, Plenty of people from the other fan base work together and some have friends just as myself and neighbors.

We maybe friends and like one another or neighbors, but we hate each other sports teams some teams more than the other…

I get that. In fact I don't live in Nebraska either and rarely ever encounter Iowa fans here in South Carolina. I felt the same way you did initially about the "rivalry". In fact probably like most Nebraska fans did/do. You are right it was "forced" and coming in we probably felt superior to Iowa. Hell I still feel that way. I go back to 1981 Clemson vs Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. So it's deep rooted and I'm not a youngster lol

I think the fact that no other fan base outside of maybe Colorado in its hey day enjoyed kicking Nebraska's *** more than Iowa does. So even though I understand how most fans feel I want and am glad our team is attacking them with the same vitriol they they attack us with .

Again it's probably an unpopular opinion that I have but let's be real. CU and Nebraska didn't really be one anything until they started kicking out *** 3 outta 4 or 5 years I think.

Iowa has done that in a much higher scale so yeah it bothers me even though I don't hear much from them.

Difference is both Nebraska and Colorado were ranked in the top 10 from 1989-1993 and Colorado shared a national title ( by getting a 5 down).

Since Pelini has left Nebraska been at it’s worse period since the Jennings years so the Clarkeyes have won 8 of the 9 but only have one top 10 to show and the last 6 games being by one score games..

That's very true. I don't discount the significance of that either. I guess for me at some point idc about the circumstances. When I'm getting my *** kicked routinely by someone who truly enjoys my misery it bothers me. I think the players finally feel that way. Whether the fans do or not.

OSU kicks our *** but I don't think it matters to them much. It MATTERS to Iowa from HC on down to the fans. Our team gets that and I'm glad even at our lowest we have finally accepted the challenge and attack them "where you are".

5-7 or 11-1 getting your *** kicked matters. Especially when they are the ones doing it. Again I know I'm in the minority here. It's ok...

Iowa has a slow defense - the main reason they run a ton of zone. Make thier LBs play in space and take a few shots deep. It's really about playing smart and taking what they give you.

I am selling my soul to stop the run and will pat their 3rd string qb on the back if he makes throws to beat us.

Iowas defense isn't slow.

I agree about putting QB on his back but you have to earn that right. Gotta stop Johnson to even get a shot at rushing the QB.

They won’t throw anything over 10-13 yards - not sure we will be able to get back there in time.

Straight drop backs should be quicker passes. Blitzing on Iowa’s right side could lead to a sack on first down after a PA roll out. Maryland got one. I doubt he is going to be rolling out to his left.

Iowa has owned NU large.y because of predictability. The predictability of Iowa playing way more consistently and NU eventually ******* up in big ways. Holgerson represents an unpredictable factor.

They didn’t in the past, but that was before networks were paying the league a billion dollars annually.

That gives the networks substantial leverage to put game times whenever they want.

I live on the north side of Chicago. Already this morning I responded to the managing partner’s holiday email to the firm with an Iowa sucks missive (he’s my age and played there), and I was struck with disdain seeing some chump in the grocery store wearing a Hawkeye logo hat. My neighbor across the street will hang a similarly hideous flag tomorrow.

For me it’s not about the stupid forced trophy with a HyVee logo on it. I encounter Iowa fans all the time and think every time how stupid it is and has always been to be a fan of that historical nothingness. I want N to win the season capper every year. I guess this makes them a rival in my mind.

Brrrrrr……27 for the high with 10-20MPH winds taking low temps to 9 degrees overnight. Who does it favor? Take the under?

Once you start running around in full pads hitting people the temperature in the 20s is is pretty comfortable for football. Problem comes when you’re just standing on the sideline so I hope they’ve got their coats and heaters.

Figured the wind would be a big factor when I posted. It’s supposed to die down right after kickoff.

Only thing that worries me is a big injury or opt out that we don’t know about. It’s down to -3 now but I don’t think one player is worth 2.5 points.

For Iowa, Caleb Johnson is probably worth 10 at least.

If we can’t stop Johnson they won’t throw the ball and it will be a long night. They won’t throw the ball more than 5 times if we don’t make them.

Was talking to my step dad about this yesterday. Teams might relax a bit when Johnson goes out and Moulton takes advantage. See 68 yard TD run last week. He also ran for 74 yards on 9 carries against Wisconsin.

Stratton can run a bit at QB too. Not sure they are going to want to risk it unless Cade or Sullivan are viable options at number 2.
