Ok so here's my argument against your statement - we have recent history to bring to the table and you have a more distant history to bring to the table. Either way, we'd both be "living" in the past so how can you knock Iowa fans for discussing the last 3-4 years??
Hey wait though, we're 3 of the last 5 in basketball. And...the only thing that saved Iowa's hide is we had an inept Chancellor that hired an inept AD, that hired a very inept head coach in Mike Riley. If Bo Pelini, who we fired, were still here, we would likely be 6-2 vs Iowa. We had an AD that was obviously completely nuts, and hired a nobody at a football school like Nebraska.
And again, this is where I'll once again mention that Harvey Perlman IS STILL f'ing Employed by the Law college. WTF??!!! How does this loser still have a job at the University of Nebraska??
Discuss all you want on the Iowa board. Iowa beat three teams with losing records, 2 times against first year coaches and guess what? They all count as Ws. Unlike Iowa fan we don’t play woulda, coulda, shoulda. Nebraska is a vastly superior program in football over Iowa by any standard, like Colorado, KSU and Missouri before, Iowa will occasionally beat big brother, but unless or until Iowa football does something significant on a national level and if Nebraska continues to struggle, Iowa fan will never have a valid argument. You’ll always have 2015-2018 though.
Enough with the excuses. Your University hired the idiots. That's not Iowa's problem. 'well if they woulda done this, that, & everything else, then --blank-- wouldn't have happened'. Well, it did happen & the landscape has changed. It's up to your University to dig out of the hole.
You ever think that maybe, just maybe the reason we don’t take Iowa fan seriously is because the football program you root for has zero sustained national relevance in its entire history? That’s right, things haven’t been great since 2002, but dang iowa fan lecturing us on college football is downright laughable. Smokin
they are a joke. Check out some boards around the country some time.
This coming from the fanbase that truly believes that 8 wins is the bar because they are located in Iowa. Laughing
Yes I frequent some national boards, Iowa fan definitely has a bad reputation. Funny they don’t bring this crap up in person, in person most are tolerable in my experience.
Actually, you did not dominate us last year. Last year was a damn even game going down to the wire. And we are in year two under Frost with two years of Duval’s strength program. We have recruited better than Iowa past two years. We have the better QB. Game is in Lincoln. Sooo... I like our chances.
Yep, the actual score was very close but Iowa physically dominated Nebraska. Kudos to your QB for keeping it that close. AND you bring in "better" recruits than Iowa every year. I also think you have a decent chance at winning this year, assuming your players get a lot tougher than years past.
What recent history or are you talking about beating just Nebraska in 4 years....
If so congrates for beating Nebraska during it’s worse 4 year period since 1958-1961..
If you’re talking about recent history the last 20 years.. Iowa hasn’t accomplished anymore than what Nebraska has in FOOTBALL..
Lol. That’s the best you got? Typical non answer and deflection from facts. You constantly accuse us of living in the 90’s although nobody in this thread brought the 90’s up. Except you. And you do that in order to minimize Nebraska’s football history by making it seem we only had one great decade. Just stupid.
When I called you out on your stupid fixation on the 90’s you deflected and made a joke about the “NU” moniker. Because you had no answer for facts.
Your posts have zero substance. You are just piss in the wind
Good God no, I'm not talking about the last 20 years. 20 years isn't recent history in my book.
You were slightly more physical than we were. We lacked depth on the DL and it showed. But you hardly “dominated”. The game was close for a reason.
You must be a Nebraska grad. The University of Iowa does not have ag majors.
And by “years past” you mean the Riley 3 years? Because Pelini owned you guys
No I am not a Nebraska grad. I am retired and farm as a hobby. I actually have a Ph.D. from Fordham (1994) and was a university prof for 25 years.
Choke on that asshat.
Something else Iowa doesn’t have, a single Nobel Laureate, not one. Nebraska has three for the record.
What’s your point anyway? That ag majors are stupid? So Iowa has no ag majors? Isn’t Iowa an agricultural State? Ok. Makes sense. Don’t want to have majors in your State’s main industry after all.
No wonder Iowa football is so mediocre
Well I know Iowa fans care if we are here, because Nebraska is all you ever talk about. Also what gives you the impression any Nebraska fan is satisfied being 4-8? Would any fan base be satisfied with that? I have not seen a single Nebraska fan say they were happy with the last 2 years.
As a fan I understand loyalty to ones team and defending it at all costs. I get it. Yes Nebraska had back 2 back 4-8 seasons. ( Iowa has had 4- 4 wins or lower season in the last 20 years fyi. Nebraska just 2.)Iowa has every right to rub it in. Tell me do you honestly believe Iowa will be as good long term as Nebraska going forward. Put your die hard fan mentality aside and look at it from a neutral point of view. Look at the history, Nebraska has always been a better team. Look toward the future. Nebraska has better facilities(those will be getting even better soon), more money, better fan support, better prestige and name recognition, , better overall recruiting, and now we have a better coach. Who is young and will probably be here 20 years or more.
I understand Iowa likes to hang its hat on the last 4 years. I would too if I was an Iowa fan. That is all you have, 4 year. You have no proud history, you have no NC, you have nothing else to try and hold over Nebraskas head. Nothing else you can say that will make an argument for Iowa football being superior to Nebraska. All you have is, "but the last 4 years we were better than Nebraska"
So I understand why you cling to these last 4 year so desperately. It was a perfect storm for you. You were able to beat your "rival" You were able to beat a program who had its worst 4 years stretch in the last half a century. Congrats, we as Nebraska fans should bow down to the might Iowa.
Another question, is beating a rival all that matters to Iowa fans? It almost seems like that is all you care about. Not getting more than 9 wins, not winning a BIG10, not even getting to the playoff. Do you not long and wish for something more? Have you become so use to being just above average that you are happy as long as you get your 8 or 9 wins and get to a bowl game.
When one looks at the facts, Iowa just can't compete with Nebraska. Not with our history not with our future. So you can bang your chests, and brag about the last 4 years, but in the end we know, the whole country knows, pretty well everyone but Iowa knows, Iowa will always be Nebraska little brother. Iowa will always be just a step below, longing, wishing, hoping to be where we have been and where we are heading. I know deep down you would admit it, reality is a tough pill to swallow sometimes. So keep these last 4 years close to your heart, cherish them. Maybe even make a little shrine in your basement about it. You won't see it again and you know it!

Conflating together the football record of Frost's first year with Hoiberg's non record here is a category error. It is logically flawed. See how logic works? You know, actual rational arguments for you rationality buffs.
All you are doing is engaging in polemical forms of rhetoric that are devoid of logic, facts, or substance. You are an expert at deflecting valid arguments against your inane comments by simply changing the topic or engaging in illogical polemics.
I repeat. Your posts lack substance. They are piss in the wind
Gotta love these Iowa threads. But I bet the mods hate me for starting yet another one....
The fact that they still bring up the 90's, well.......
Settled - nebraska football has rich history, lacking mightily as of late, see if they can rebound with the right guys in place. Easier to regain relevance with good history to build on.
Nebraska basketball - no history, large mountain to climb & may get some traction for some wins in tourney. Remains to be seen, but far more unlikely than football, for obvious reasons.
Iowa football, not much championship history, but in a solid footing where some things may happen with the correct steps. Remains to be seen, but not unfathomable to make playoffs
Iowa basketball - very good basketball tradition that took a turn in late 2000's, back to some solid footing & with a few right moves can be back to advancing deeper in the tournament. Movement up or down more fickle than football (Tech 13 wins, Auburn 11 few years ago)
This basically replicates the Nebraska 7, NR. Iowa 25th, 23rd. Final word, enjoy spring ball, see you all for the next chapter late November.

They just need to let us defend our programs without any help from them..Laughing
