You of course are correct about Nebraska fan expectations. It's a little ridiculous.
I think it is going to be a very close game Friday. Iowa is rated #20 by Massey and Nebraska #32. Weather very cold and windy (big surprise). with 40% chance of snow.
I think the weather favors the better...
Iowa just clinched another Big Ten West Mythical Championship (at least a tie):

Gophers 4 4
Illini 4 4
Badgers 2 6...

But I'll say this: Seth Wallace will never be a head coach at Iowa. When Kirk retires, Iowa will have lots of options. It is a great place to coach and the entire coaching...
Well I certainly was one of the idiots that said he should retire after the Indiana loss.
Coach Ferentz takes the losses hard. He looks tired because he is tired and depressed after the losses. But boy, he looked invigorated after the fantastic wins against the Badgers, Lions and Gophers. He...
No matter what anyone says after losses (including me), Kirk Ferentz and his coaching staff continue to build strong teams full of great young men. I feel lucky to be an Iowa fan and to have him as our coach.
