Hey now, they had that co-national championship with an 8-1-1 record way back in 1958...:Cool:
Really Happy for Iowa State

I've yet to see anything from Frost's defense that should intimidate anyone in the Big Ten. And the defensive players on UNL's campus presently are probably the softest in all of college football. Your offensive line hasn't shown anything in years. Nebraska is a fixer upper for the foreseeable future.
Nebraska will win the b1g conference title before Iowa does going forward. Period.
So why even post here? Go away if we are so irrelevant.
Really, go away.
Run your mouth while you can, junior. You know as well as we do that we're going to own you again. It's tradition. At least you'll still have wrasslin' and mushroom hunting.
Ya they beat a 7-4 team ( after the bowl loss) that was rated #16 in the country...
It reminds me of BYU's bogus 1984 National Championship team. In a word, "undeserving".Ya they beat a 7-4 team ( after the bowl loss) that was rated #16 in the country...
No, we don't. An 8-5 record might have prolonged the suckage of Eichorst and Riley. Instead, we now have an AD who knows what he's doing and our best coaching hire since Osborne walked away. Not saying we enjoyed the dumpster fire that was the 2017 season, but 99.9% of us are more than happy with the trade-off.
Congrats on finishing 4th in the Big Ten West with a scintillating 4-5 conference record, clearly much better than our 5th place finish at 3-6. See you on the field in 2018.
Rome wasn't built in a day...Don't expect the same team that has played Iowa the last 2 years to show up next year in Iowa City.
UCF went 0-12 two years ago. No other coach in history has gone from winless to undefeated in only 2 years. Amazing what a little coaching can do. No more "Beaver Ball" in Lincoln.
Just look at Matt Campbell. Inherited a 3-9 Iowa State program and already has them competing with the best in the Big 12. And he didn't even go undefeated at Toledo like Frost did at UCF. I think Frost and Campbell are starting to make Iowa fans pretty nervous.
Ferentz started out 0-4 against Iowa State... But carry on.

You must be, otherwise you wouldn't be posting in an Iowa State thread on a Nebraska message board.
Campbell inherited a dumpster fire and put up 41 on your vaunted defense a year later. The future looks pretty bright in Ames. And if losers like Pelini and Paul Rhoads could beat Ferentz more often than not - Campbell and Frost will likely own the Hawkeyes too once they get their systems in place.
I hesitate to get involved in these idiotic piss fights, but I must admit your point concerning UNL’s defense interests me mucho, mucho.
I actually think the defense might be better than people think. What the D went through this year under Dreamy Diaco and the fact that they will be working out or a 3-4 that is admittedly schematically different than the 3-4 used by Frost and his buddies still suggests than the transition might actually be easier than what they went through this year.
As far as the offensive line, I think there is talent there. They just need good coaching. I’m not saying we will run wild in the West, but I think there will be improvement.
I think for Husker fans there is a realistic sense that improvement will come but it will take time.
Ouch... that hurt... stop it now... please go back to celebrating your near run at a championship
Oh look, the idiot troll who thinks Iowa is one player away from competing for another national championship is lecturing other people about being delusional.
I like to think I'm pretty attractive. I seem to be a Husker fan and we seem to win more when were down than when Iowa has its best ups. Don't resist, being a Husker fan. I've known a few hogeye fans who saw the light...
In all seriousness, what will Nebraska do when Frost can’t win a championship? They can’t bring back their steroid program. Clawing at Wisconsin, at best. What will that earn Frost?
You’re worried ... I can tell these kind of things.
Night night , mediocrity happiness
Night night , mediocrity happiness
Probably the same thing Iowa has done about that problem for the last 100 years. Nothing.
Maybe.
But I think it's more likely that Nebraska fans boo him just like they did when he played for you, then the university fires him after he's won 9 games like it did Frank Solich and Bo Pelini because you think you're entitled to win 12 games every season, then Husker fans hail the next head coach as the savior of Nebraska football like they do with every new hire, there's talk of "dominating" and "restoring the order," then tshirts prematurely proclaiming Nebraska the Big Ten champs are printed up in the summer as was the case in 2011. Inevitably those shirts are seen worn by children rummaging through trash in third world countries by December. And repeat ad infinitum.
I've lived in Omaha for many years. I know how Husker fans operate.
Edit: also, every team that beats Scott Frost's Huskers "sucks," and the only reason they were able to win is because Nebraska just "sucks worse." That will also happen. Through these gates pass the best fans my ***, lol.

Two teams that went in different directions after that game. Clones got better. Hawks did not.
Iowa fan is this uppity after 20 years of mediocrity under KF, I can’t imagine what they’d be like if Iowa had a great history or actually wins a conference or national championship game, I am certainly glad we’ll never have to find out.
Congratulations to Iowa state and their wonderful fans.

A sad existence for you... up on a Sunday morning, worrying about the inevitable continuation of your blandness.Maybe.

Enjoy these last several years. GREAT years for Iowa.... a near run at s championship, occasional sell outs at your field, wins over a pretty bad Husker team... yep, life is good for you
That winning percentage tho.... WOOF!KF is in pretty good company for being "mediocre"
KF is in pretty good company for being "mediocre"
Better look closer to that winning pct column.
Both wouldn't make the top 12 out of that top 20.
Just saying.
Who would you add? Keep in mind, this is Big Ten only.
To summarize, a Nebraska coach will never be retained for simply beating Iowa and will certainly be fired for losing to Iowa too many times, while an Iowa coach will never be fired for losing to Nebraska and will be certainly get a lifetime contract for beating Nebraska.
Good point, I was looking at numbers and didn't notice it was big ten schools only.
I'm curious though, are these overall records or just big 10 head to head records?
Link to where this happened? Kirk got his lifetime contract for winning 12 games. That Nebraska was one of those is irrelevant. You could say - wrongly - that Kirk got a lifetime contract for beating Wisconsin or Purdue.
