Wherever I go, there I am.

Iowa State is ranked higher than Alabama and higher than all but one school that left the Big 12 for greener grass. I'm taking a screen shot of that.
Well, if this isn't nice, I don't know what is!!

I personally took some joy in the drubbing IU gave Nebraska. They've lost like 26 in a row against ranked teams.
During our game Saturday night, FOX ran an advertisement for Nebraska at #4 Ohio State on October 26, which made me chuckle. Husker fans were so arrogant and they really haven't been relevant since they fired poor Frank Solich. Does OSU throw down a 70 spot on the vaunted "Blackshirt" defense?

I wonder if they still bring 15,000 to road games like they used to. I'm guessing it's too far to drive for most road games.

This tweet was from after their loss to Illinois, so the loss to Indiana would add one more to that to make it 26.



Additionally, there's this tweet from after the Illinois game making him 2-21 after the Indiana loss, which I admit is a fact I found very surprising:


Tell me again why the Big 10 is supposedly so tough top to bottom?

Nebraska? Hmmm wasnt that the fan base that Matt Campbell was not good enough to be their coach two years ago?

The test which did you enjoy more: a) Nebbie getting slob knocked by Indiana or b) Hawkeyes run over by vaunted MSU. In my case, I have a miniscule amount of sympathy for the Big Red fan base that still shows up like deer in the headlights expecting the return of 1995 only to get kicked in the nuts. OTOH, Hawkeye fans are insufferable and deserve public humiliation whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Nebraska's last win over a ranked team was September 17, 2016, they beat #22 Oregon 35-32 at home. Since then they've lost 26 straight games against ranked teams.

In this same span of time the Cyclones have won 12 times against ranked teams and have beat at least one ranked team in seven out of these nine seasons (12-23 overall against ranked teams).

How can anyone take a guy with this physical appearance seriously ... as a football coach. He looks like a manager at Arby's in Sidney NE Screenshot_20241022_180201_Chrome.jpg

This also demonstrates how weak/top-heavy the Big 10 is. Since 2016 Iowa State in the lowly Big 12 has played 35 games against ranked teams, Nebraska has played 27 (and with their TV drawing power they tend to get scheduled against the better teams more often than most Big 10 teams).

The mighty Hawkeyes in this time are 10-18 vs. ranked teams.

And we've beaten our fair share of those ranked teams. Hell we've been ranked a lot since 2016.

It's really mind-blowing how bad Nebraska has been for the last 10-15 years.

I'm pretty sure he is wearing a manssiere (or bro if you prefer) in that pic.
