Poor Iowa

Not quite right ... Happy to have a shot at the Big10 title and CFP every 3-5 years ... sometimes it gets longer but there have been some chances since 2002. When was Nebraska's? You have a good program with great tradition, but you are no better than Iowa right now let alone Wisconsin.
Rivals is the name of this website right? Isn't the idea to get rival fans to chat about games ...
No matter the program you have to cut the ifs and buts. It drives me nuts about our fans too. We lost the game. In '09 and 2015 you lost.
Nebraska's had as tough of a stretch as we've seen in our lifetime's over the last 20 years and have STILL played for a MNC, won a CC, played in four more CCGs, had a Heisman Trophy winner and another Heisman finalist. This is a terrible stretch for the Huskers. Terrible, and I'm not being facetious either.
So Iowa, continue to celebrate all of your "success". Nebraska is about to leave the Hawkeyes' program in the dust...again...and the only people who don't see it coming must have their heads in the sand.

All Herky has to it's name are what if's as there is zero relevance to hang their hat's on and don't see any coming in the generations to come either! It's pretty sad really that after 3 wins in a row against us, that's all they have to look forward to as we have been their super bowl every year since as they have nothing outside of that! LOL
Cool first post, thanks for sharing your obsession with us. BTW, is this the same Hawkeye team that lost at home to NW two weeks ago?
Fair enough, but "having a shot" is what we are talking about here ... If you are able to make a run at a title every few years, be happy about it. The OP is trying to spin it like Iowa has never had a shot in 20 years ... he is wrong. Nebraska will likely never be in the same position it was in the mid 90s ... he and everyone else on here should get used to it. It's OK to strive to be dominant but to EXPECT it to happen is foolish. Good luck in the game on Friday, I expect a really good performance out of Iowa.
double yawn . . . it'$ funny to watch herk get all te$ty before his mighty 4 loss team gets one final shot at a 7 loss Husker team at home. But then again, you have never been, and will never be, anything more than an "also-ran," so I shouldn't laugh at you. Instead I will say "good luck, I hope you can squeeze in one more victory." Maybe then you can shut down the city and have a parade.
I appreciate that is a phrase that would be uncommon in herksville, as every day is ground hog day - Wake up, suck, football team gets 6 - 8 wins, go to bed. Nothing to look forward to but sucking. You got your pom pom's ready for the big parade to celebrate 8?! Maybe you can make a sign for the game!
CELEBRATE 8!

Make no mistake plenty of your fans will be looking up at mediocre as we go to another bowl game as you are sitting at home.
Quick question: what happens to the balloons when you guys dont score a touchdown? Ol scooter's offense doesnt have the same mojo in November in the midwest.

While I don't like Iowa at least Iowa has fans that existed before last year. That alone puts them above UCF fans who have an average age and IQ of 12.
And what a glorious accomplishment there in herksville! You all must be sooo proud of your boys. Ground. Hog. Day.
Quick question: why do your vendors sell red balloons at your stadium? are you guys really that dumb? And bravo on the scheme smack-talk. I know everyone is pining to implement that vaunted herk O.
Have you ever been to kinnick? No vendors sell red balloons you baboon. You wont see the BF offense worried about wind or cold like you guys are crying about. Pepper your Angus bruh we are going no lube again.
If nobody sells red balloons, then why would you say "Quick question: what happens to the balloons when you guys dont score a touchdown? Ol scooter's offense doesnt have the same mojo in November in the midwest." The only way there would be red balloons is if the vendors at Kinnick were selling them outside the stadium. Or do you guys sell different colored balloons? Our tradition is to let red balloons off at home games after we score. Do you have a tradition at Kinnick that the visiting team holds balloons and are allowed to only let them off after the visiting team scores a touchdown? That's a weird tradition, and the only interpretation that I can come up with based off of your super witty "quick question."
What color are the visitors balloons? I guess it is sort of neat that you do that, because you do love to throw a party when you get to 8!
Balloon's for everyone!! Do you hand out cupcakes too?
Yes, same team. And yes, I like to have fun with Husker fans. Half my family are Huskers (poor souls). Plus it is so easy.
I really don’t think the game will be close. Our offensive and defensive lines will mail yours. We’ll all find out on Friday.
The only reason you came close in 2015 to the Big10 title was due to a very easy schedule - Any team has a shot in one game, Iowa proved it did not belong when Stanford blew them out
Prior to 2011 and NU joining the Big10 - iowa always claimed titles as their record showed them tied in some cases even though they lost the head to head. Iowa has not won the big10 and gone to rose bowl since 1990. In fact you have played in a total one real confer title game. NU has played in the title game in 2009,2010 and 2012
Do you know how many haters said in the mid to late 80s "Nebraska will never have a chance to be like they were in the 70s" Guess what, we were better. Nebraska is Nebraska for a reason. It isn't just a 5 or 10 year thing. It is a lifetime thing. Yes we will have our down stretches, but will will always be able to climb back to the top. I have a feeling our top is coming around again. Domination, destruction and NCs will follow.
Yeah the 90's is not attainable except if you name is Bama. Just not happening. I think if you talk to a lot of Husker fans, they aren't thinking that whatsoever. Baby steps. I'll be excited once we win the west .
You just created a straw man to talk to yourself.... here I'll rephrase so you might understand. When playing at memorial stadium in Lincoln it is a tradition for the home fans to release balloons when the home team scores a touchdown. What happens with the balloons when the home team "huskers" do not score a touchdown?
Heres a funny joke dipstick... ia was favored by the same 10 points against an enemic offense in northwestern game at home too...how'd that turn out..
yes it is... and also favored by 10 weird
You can pick your 2nd place trophy up in the ladies restroom
You lose style points for no "biscuit cutter" refrence.
No, I was responding to your "quick question." I would suggest you slow down on typing out your question so that your brain can keep up. Type slooooowly. Your understanding of the tradition is incorrect (can you believe it?). Balloons are released on the first score.
Celebrate 8!!
You will beat us this year. And you’ll probably beat us the next year or 2 after this but you better enjoy your little 8 of 9 wins against us because it’s about to flip to us in a few more years.
Nobody here is saying we’re going to beat you Friday.
We may not beat you next year either but in the near future it’ll be 42-17 Nebraska over Iowa regularly. Book it.
I do not know who is going to win but I can tell you I will be laughing my *** off if Neb does win this game Friday cause the Hawkeye fans here on this board think it is a foregone conclusion and think it will be a blow out. Might happen. However just as I would not predict that happening I will also not predict that Neb even wins this game. That is why they play the game! The arrogance being shown however is just past a little sickening already!
You're right we did play at Nebraska that year so it was a pretty easy schedule.
Best! Year! Ever! Only 2 losses and extra special super duper neato bandito rings! I bet you made the day for the fellas at the local trophy shop with that order. Prolly doubled their average sales figures for the day
