Probably. But college football hasn't been about academics for a very, very long time. So idk man. Alls I did was point out how absurd the claim is Nebraska plays in front of 20k fans. A simple "it was hyperbole bro" would have made me say fair enough and move on. Instead everyone is ranting out the sell out streak.
Hmm, you think maybe everybody here and everywhere else is just tired of hearing about the streak, (scam) that's been going on for many years, so any comment starts this discussion? Was the poster adding hyperbole when he said 20K at a game. Sure he was. You think we don't get tired of how much Nebraska hates, (and looks down on Iowa)? Is there an added joy in beating braska EVERY year, (especially when it's on the last play of the game)? Oh yes there is. From your smug fans, coaches and players, (like your HC saying he didn't know who #34 our AA middle linebacker was, or your captains not shaking hands at midfield during the coin toss), your fans and teams "you guys are beneath us", attitude. Frankly I don't care what you post. You can take it back to Lincoln, and don't let the door hit you in the backside....
Well we know college football at braska isn't about academics, don't we. Funny thing is most of our athletes graduate with degrees.Probably.

But come on guys. 20k is ABSURDLY low.
Its a game played by teenagers man. Its not that deep.
Hey tell us about this supposed 8 wins hashtag that all Iowa fans post about that you yammer about on the husker board.
Most of them mid twenties now, and getting paid, some of them as multimillionaires. What that has to do with Nebraska's open disdain for anything Iowa, I have no idea. Under NO metric for the entirety of the huskers presence in the B1G has Iowa been beneath you, yet the delusion lives on. Time for the Huskers to take stock of where they really are.
I literally have no idea what you're talking about. I spend nearly 0 time on the Husker Board.
I haven't mentioned anything about disdain for Iowa. I made a quip about how silly of a low estimate 20k was. Thats all. Period. Pretty innocent really.
You do know that Iowa is a low population state too and also has another power 5 school in the state drawing 60,000 fans for home games. UNI also draws about 15,000 per home game. Nebraska is the lone wolf in their state for football.
Last time I went to a game in Lincoln I became a fan of the Nebraska fan base…… we tailgated in a parking lot with all Nebraska fans and it was a blast….. all the fans were friendly and you could tell they just love football
I am indeed aware of that. Im not sure its relevance, still, to my initial jest. But yes. I am aware of that.
The part I find most humorous of the fued is that the people of Iowa and Nebraska are literally the same people. Many of us have family in the opposing state. Ive lived in Iowa for 20 years.
I will second that Natchrlman. I've only been to two games in Lincoln but the Nebraska fans were friendly and welcoming. Iowa lost both games, but fans on the internet are not the same people as fans in the stands.
I will say, I was shocked when I went to a game in Lincoln (probably 12 years ago or so) as to how nice and polite the fans were. I was a bit hesitant to wear my gold Hawkeye sweatshirt after seeing how opposing were treated in Wisconsin, but my Nebby friend said no one would say a thing, and he was right.
I'd readily admit that most of my interaction with Nebraska fans is online. Until a few weeks ago when I retired I worked Saturdays so going to games from KC was out of the question. Much of my post was about the players, coaches and admin and their presumption that Iowa was beneath them. Do you not consider Rhule saying he had no idea who #34 was (so Jay, an AA and the conferences top LB, went up after the game and introduced himself) or their captains not shaking hands pre game, (a move that had to be approved ahead of time by Rhule) to not be a clear sign of disrespect toward our team, coaches and University? That's not even getting into the crap their old AD started after the only time they;ve beaten Iowa, and since they only won by 2 points he had to "evaluate where Iowa was as a program", and he fired the coach. Would you call those actions respectful? Could that lead to the other fan base being resentful?
Typical come back for someone who has no answers to questions posed. Do keep posting your laughing emoji's though. They really add to the conversation, and show the depth of your input.....
He was confused. 20k was the weekly bail budget for Nebby football during the Devaney and Osborne years.Probably. But college football hasn't been about academics for a very, very long time.
