Nebraska should just file for a divorce from the Big 10.....

[ISU4NH]

Even though it was a long time ago, I still smile when I think back to the last time we played them in NE and we won.

 

[Acylum]

because the only sport Nebraska cares about (and one of two sports most fans care about) they have sucked balls.

Oh my bad. I thought they’d played in as many CCGs as you guys since joining.

 

[Sigmapolis]

didn't they win the conference title in wrestling last year?

Maybe the Wikipedia article needs updated, but not according to this...



Edit -- under further examination, it does need updating.

Wrestling should be 2015 and 2020 for the Hawkeyes.

Conference championships by Nebraska since joining the Big Ten --

Women's soccer = 2013

Volleyball = 2016, 2017

Men's indoor track and field = 2015, 2016

Men's outdoor track and field = 2013, 2016

Women's indoor track and field = 2012

Baseball = 2017

Softball = 2014

10 in 10 years (all sports). Now do Iowa. I would guess they have even fewer.
edit: should have looked two posts down . . . .

I can remember all the way back to the wins in '76 and '77. I would love to have Nebby in a conference - whatever that will be.

lol as if that accurately describes how bad they've been in the Big 10, considering they're on their 3rd coach since that 2012 appearance

and if getting to championship games is the only qualifier for not sucking, there's another team that we can discuss.

Big Ten national titles since Nebraska joined...

Men's cross country = Wisconsin (2011)

Women's cross country = Michigan State (2014)

Football = Ohio State (2014)

Men's soccer = Maryland (2018)

Women's soccer = Penn State (2015)

Women's volleyball = Nebraska (2015 and 2017)

Men's gymnastics = Illinois (2012), Michigan (2013 and 2014)

Men's swimming and diving = Michigan (2013)

Wrestling = Penn State (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019), Ohio State (2015)

Men's lacrosse = Maryland (2017)

Women's lacrosse = Northwestern (2012), Maryland (2015, 2017, 2019)

1 = Michigan State
1 = Northwestern
1 = Wisconsin
0 = Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Purdue, Rutgers

Only one of these (Ohio State) being in either football or men's basketball.

**** Nebraska

I don't hold the personal animosity towards Nebraska as others here. I believe it would be great to have them ask to come back and for the B12 to readmit them. They are a natural rival, border state, with shared values, a rich football tradition, and national appeal. No brainer for me.

That will never get old.

F*** that. I don't want that sorry a** fan base here.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Counting league championships is sort of an odd metric for Cyclone fans to drag out as a dissing tool. Or Iowa fans recently. Just sayin'.

Don't know about the shared values part....

You can have personal animosity and still recognize their value. It's called business.

1. You should feel personal animosity, KSU was as close to getting relegated by realignment as ISU was...because NU was butthurt about Texas.

2. They absolutely belong in the Big 8 footprint and provide FBS level competition and revenue.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Never let them back. Never. They bring nothing of value to Iowa State. Let them wither on the vine.

[CYdTracked]

One of the best lines I have heard is "we'd all take more road trips to Colorado if we didn't have to drive several hours through that hell hole state they call Nebraska"

 

[20eyes]

Whose the more likely "W", NU or KSU? I say **** Nebraska everyday and twice on Sunday but they're close and provide a winnable game. They could be useful.

 

[Stewo]

The only real winner of the "leave the B12" fad is A&M. And really, that's mostly because they don't have to live in Texas' shadow. They're also the only ones to really have any sort of success in either football or basketball since the move.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Hey there is this nice little town in Nebraska called Gatlin I have been wanting to visit.

Anybody else been?
