Nebraska gives Scott Frost much deserved extension to only fire him.

It would be great for texas and nebby to lose on black Friday.

By a combined loss of 40+ points

For being an *******, it seemed like his players generally liked playing for him. I remember a lot of their players tweeting how upset they were when he was let go

I think Mangino at KU was probably like that.

I think Mangino at KU was probably like that.

When I first read that on my phone, I missed the "at KU" and literally said WTF out loud.

Also, I agree.

Nebraska is a worse job than ISU right now

 

[Cyched]

Are you disagreeing, or turned on?

Agreed. That game is always the weirdest thing in the world to watch. There’s been years I’ve tried, with sound reason, to root for Iowa but I just can’t do it. My head tries but heart won’t let me. I get the whole, “but they are from Iowa and support your state” blah blah blah. Nope. And if you’re telling me that you’re probably a tavernhawk. But the other side of the game is just, well, f*cking gross. Both fan bases are just so pompous and egotistical that every year I find myself hoping for some refereeing snafu that allows both fan bases to be all pissed off at one another like twin toddlers in a fight because one of them put a booger in the others bowl of rice crispies

I went to Lincoln a few years ago for their game with Iowa. I was offered some tickets and a parking pass for free so I figured what the hell. My dad got them in a raffle or something and couldn't go. I found myself laughing a lot at how pitiful both teams were playing. Had some people around my ask what my deal was as I wasn't cheering for either team. I told them my situation and they understood.

Considering how big of a rivalry these schools claim it to be, I was moderately surprised that about 10% of the student section was empty. Yes it was the day after Thanksgiving, but this is Nebraska's biggest rival in the Big 10, it should be 100% full no matter when the game is played.

If I’m not mistaken, they consider Wisconsin more of a rival than Iowa. They are like most that consider Iowa basically an annoyance

Have they even beaten Wisconsin yet?

No I definitely agree. Sarcastically saying "NO WAY!"

They are such a pissant little fan base that is too good to call anyone a rival except for some blue blood like Ohio st who they have no business even being on the same playing field with.

Not sure

Nebraska won't recognize Iowa as a rival even though they are.

 

[Jer]

Nebraska won't recognize Iowa as a rival even though they are.

It's a rivalry only in the sense that they are in close proximity. It would be like saying Illinois is our rival if we played them a couple years even though there is no history to say so.

**** Illinois

And yet their sellout streak is still intact!!! I think they are even counting this year's games as sellouts. What a joke!

Growing up in NW Iowa in the '80's as a Hawkeyes fan I can tell you it's a rivalry...in the sense that NU fans chirped about how great they were and Iowa not having a chance to prove otherwise except in '81 when Iowa DID beat NU in Iowa City.

Imo, the rivalry is real. Iowa is about to make it six straight against NU. NU fans care a lot about that as do Iowa fans...at least here on the west coast.

There is almost nothing sadder in sports than a forced "rivalry."

Since its the holidays and whatnot...

Oh in hindsight, that is so much sweeter

I grew up in Sioux City when ISU was way down and hardly any ISU fans unlike now where the town is an even three way split, back then it was half hawkeyes and half weird Iowan Nebraska fans.

To me growing up an Iowa fan in the 80s and early 90s I never thought of Minnesota, ISU or Wisconsin as a real rival to Iowa, I just hated Nebraska even though they never played each other.
