I posted that Iowa was a rival to the Huskers. Many of you booed me and called me an idiot. You were right.

I have been watching bad football for 20 years, hence red scowl. I know Iowa is a garbage program, but the Huskers have been too.

The difference is the Huskers have been injured and damaged. The hawkeyes have never been and never will. They are the kid that smells like piss, and has flies circling their butt.

I will speak of Riley no more. I was wrong and I apologize. They are just another victim.

Iowa made out big time when Riley was hired. He was/is Iowa’s best weapon when we played them. When Bo was here, he was handling Iowa pretty well (minus one season and I don’t even know what happened then). With good coach Iowa will never beat us down again. There will be the tough/hard fought games that go down to the wire. But the games of Iowa owning us, ends now. Iowa prays and hopes Frost struggles and doesn’t pan out but their prayers won’t be answered. We have the talent, S&C, the nutrition, facilities to make the top tier players and now we have the elite coaching staff to go with it. Truly sucks to be Iowa SuckEyes.

Rivalries grow organically; they aren't created. We all saw that when the Big XII ended Nebraska's annual game with Oklahoma, and drew Colorado out of a hat to be Nebraska's new rival. The B1G did the same thing with Nebraska-Iowa. I mean, who doesn't get excited about the HyVee Heroes Trophy?

The conference just needs to let it play out over time. Allow some big games to be played, some history to be formed. It can't/won't happen overnight. Let's say (for argument's sake) that Nebraska doesn't suck forever, and has some huge games against Wisconsin (for argument's sake) where the conference championship appearance is on the line. Or a series of appearances against Penn State (for argument's sake) in the championship, where the highly competitive games go down to the wire, with each team winning about the same number. Then you might start to see a rivalry form. Of course, Nebraska has to actually start winning some of these games, which until recently seemed like an impossibility.

A rivalry requires respect. We don't respect Iowa. Even tho they've beaten us four of the past five years, we don't respect them because we don't believe that we are nearly what we should be.

If we get to where we believe that we should be, if Iowa keeps beating us, then MAYBE some respect will grow. But even then it will take a while.

Pelini was indeed 3-1 against Ferentz but I feel I have to straighten out this “handling Iowa pretty well” notion. The first year I can agree with as I believe it was 20-0 before Iowa even scored to make it 20-7.

The following year was his best team and Iowa’s worst in 13 years. The score was 13-7. That was the most frustrating game as Kirk tried absolutely nothing to win that game.

The following year Iowa did what it wanted in a 38-17 route.

2014 Iowa was up 24-7 before Kirk decided to go full retard and punt to DPE TWICE!!!

Anyways, the point is that I guess I don’t call that “owning” Kirk like I see portrayed on here a lot.

As an Iowa fan I can completely understand this notion.

Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Penn St have FAR and away more rival ability than the low likes of Iowa.

I’ll believe you. 2012 had more wins but they were closer to a conference title. My point still stands overall.

Both the 2009 and 2010 team were within one play of winnin the big 12 title and were much better teams than the 2012 team. And for the record bo’s teams all finished with 9 or 10 wins, so many more wins does not really fit either

Sorry, when I looked at “FBSschedules.com”, it had 2012 listed as 11-3. But when you count the schedule, it’s only 10 wins.

Just look at how many freaking Iowa posts are on this board and tell me they're not a rival. We want to say Wisconsin is our rival but I doubt they think so right now. They've kicked our asses since we joined this conference. Some of you need to get over Oklahoma, that's long gone and never coming back.

It's no longer 1980. Colorado was our main rival in the Big 12 and Iowa is now in the Big 10. I agree you can't manufacture a rivalry and when we joined the Big 10 and people said Iowa was our rival before we even played them, it kind of pissed me off. But over the last 6 or 7 years, the record against them is about even, the hatred is there, there's been some good games and it truly is turning into a rivalry game.

I think part of this is most teams don't have a free board to post on. Iowa and Nebraska both have a healthy free board.

In fairness, Nebraska is behind Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa State and virtually all other B1G teams for Iowa. It will take decades before we dent anyone's rivalry list in the B1G. Penn State still doesn't really have one and they've been in the conference since 1991. By virtue of the last game status and proximity...Iowa is the best hope for those pining for one....for a long, long time.

The bolded text is why I absolutely cannot stand Iowa fan. 2013, Iowa beat a third string walk on QB. There will come a time when an Iowa starting QB won’t play for whatever reason and they will get beat and Iowa fan will make the same argument.

Iowa fans ignore stats and facts and I have yet to meet one that can back up their opinion with data. Message board Iowa fan is a loathsome group.

Iowa fans must be very busy on message boards then. Considering the amount of time they spend on this one. If we are in last place on their list I’d hate to how many of them are on the Wisconsin or Minnesota boards.

I literally, literally, literally just backed my opinion of Pelini not “handling Iowa pretty well” with facts and stats. Literally!

In your opinion, how should we count the games where Nebraska QBs didn’t play? Should we count the score 18-17? Does that change anything in the way of the point of my post? Should we change it to a 16-17 Nebraska win? Would that still constitute Pelini “handling Iowa”?

No need to respond as I’m not gonna respond to what you say.

You literally did nothing of the sort. It’s your opinion that “handling” means blowing out. My opinion is that “handling” means winning 3 outta 4. I’ll simplify for you, when I say I’m handling my business at work, it means I’m taking care of my responsibilities and getting my work done, if I say I’m killing it at work that means I’m going above and beyond. Pelini definitely handled Iowa winning 3 outta 4.

Iowa fan (I use singular tense because they are all the same) absolutely hates it that their current HC has a losing record to Nebraska and that TO, FS and BP have a .750 or better win percent against Iowa.

You don't need to straighten out ****. This is a Nebraska board, a place Husker fans can talk about and say whatever they want, whenever they want, about whoever they want, especially dogshit iowa. If you don't like it, leave.

More Iowa bs, you didn't back up anything, just more excuses. It was the shoes, it was the meds, foot injury, blah, blah, blah. You don't know a damn thing about Bo's best teams, or Nebraska football period. I also don't give a flyin'ratsass about your "worst team in 13 years" bs, boofnhoo, more excuses.

Hell, let me try the Ioway on this mighty 38-17 route. In my opinion this game is meaningless as Pelini was in full melt-down mode due to the fact he thought he'd be fired the next day. Between the dumbass fake punt call and the fact that he nearly hit a ref it was pretty easy to see. So, I can make excuses too, they don't mean ****. It's also pretty pathetic that Iowa couldn't score more than 38 points while Bo was going full-blown nutcase, real teams like Whisky racked up 60 or 70.
