Well, our fan bases used to simply loathe each other. Then, NU started to win games against them and they developed a modicum of respect for our program. Losing to them the past two seasons has seemingly softened relations and the back and forth winning has, IMO, established mutual respect between us.
Three, actually, but who's counting...:mad:

I'm happy that Iowa and not Ohio State is in the Rose Bowl. It's been 25 long years for the Hawkeye fans, their team had a great season, and now they get another chance to experience "the Granddaddy of Them All". It's their time to enjoy it.

You fellers sure do write lovely sentences - excellent grammar - we call that 'Harbracing the language' after some lady that wrote a book on it.

We do have an opening for a proof reading editor on the old Vol Board here.

I would say that opening is as wide as the Mississippi Delta.

On the play it took the refs like 10 min to announce what the penalty was. I seriously think they had to get the rule book out.
This happened right in front of me. They played the replay over, and over, and over, and over on those 2 ginormous jumbotrons during the referee discussion. Hilarious. That place was just electric that day.

Tennessee fans suffer from something known as "Husker Delusion Syndrome", which is caused by an onset of college football irrelevance that goes untreated for approximately 20 years.

Iowa was a mess by the end of last year, with a defense running around like headless chickens and a quarterback who did not adapt to new OC Greg Davis' system. We were a mediocre team beaten by an average (at best) team.

Prediction: You are far superior to us last year and will beat them as bad as your SAT scores already do. The mood will be so bad in Tennessee that the rate of copulating cousins in America will plummet on the night of January 1st.

Heh, this is a fair and reasoned assessment. And I'm looking for someone in Amerika to handle my mllions of moneys, with the benefit of a small $1,000,000 handler's fee to you, of course. Just please send me your informations. :)

Tennessee has indeed been through the Dark Ages over the past seven years. Our 10-4 season with a bowl win over #18 Wisconsin in 2007 (in the Outback Bowl, of all places) was our last good year before we really hit the skids. So change "20" to "7" and you might not have given away your slant quite as early.

As for whether we are condemned to the fate of the Cornhuskers (for which there are some fascinating demographic and sociological underpinnings, it's really an incredible case study...but I digress), let's allow our teams' play on the field put that assertion to the test.

I expect this bowl game to be a hard-fought contest. Both teams have a lot to be excited about. And copulating cousins is not part of it, on either side.

But thanks for contributing well to the discussion, Sockeyes!

Just wanted to stop by and wish you guys, your team, and staff, good luck on your bowl game against the Vols. Time to put away conference rivalries and begin conference loyalties. Pulling for you to beat Tennessee and give a black eye to the SEC. Go Cats! Beat the Vols!
Thanks. The B1G Championship was well played by both teams. It was by far the best championship game played this year. Well done and good luck against the Cardinal.

. Ok. First off, I will refrain from correcting your grammar, or lack there of. Second, yes I was pointing out that by the 'other guy ' admitting he did not root for other SEC teams in bowls made me realize what makes your fans base tick. Get it ? Another piece of the puzzle falls into place. That is not a 'shot' exactly, just an observation. Go Cats !

Wow. I had to register just to laugh at you. Where to begin?

. Ok. First off

You started a sentence with a period, Einstein.

I think you meant 'thereof', genius. It's one word.

You need to remove the word 'by'. Your sentence structure is atrocious. Grammar is not your strong point and neither is punctuation. We've already established that you can't spell.

We can use proper grammar and kick your butts on the football field. .

You can barely conjugate. You need to refrain from correcting anything that anyone else writes.

Penalty? For what, unsurpassed idiocy?

My theory is the guy thought he was on punt coverage. Maybe too much partying the night before.

Btw, did anyone see the play the Niners guy made vs. the Bears? He caught a punt on the fly over the end zone after leaping, Curly Nealed the ball behind the back and onto the playing field, where a Bears player inexplicably tried to pick it up. This touched off a greased pigskin routine where five Niners tried to dive on it, successively squirting it back through and out of the end zone. Crazy, crazy play.

As soon as the 49er touched the ball it was a penalty-"illegal touching" The Bear player could pick up the ball without risk, even if he fumbled, the Bears would get the ball back

I blacked out for one of them.
