It takes some serious stupidity to come on a rival board and troll when your team has been outscored 96-24 the past two seasons and you have lost 4 of 5 in the rivalry the past 5 years. I'm interested to see what Frost can do, but physicality is something that typically takes time.
Your Black Shirt defense has been bent over and gang raped so many times over the past 4-5 years, that this is a really tough behavior to unlearn. Things start getting physical and they roll over and immediately put their butt in the air, so as to expedite the process. Frost's first act as Nebraska coach was the right move in my opinion. Removing the barrel of vaseline from the Husker locker room will certainly make the process more painful and should help curb the immediate submissiveness. However, once those first quarter beat downs begin, it's like Pavlov's dog, and well, the roll over just happens as it's been conditioned.

The fact that the idiot OSU player totally launched himself into head to head contact and you think it was a bad call totally nullifies any threads and posts you make. Stupid stuff

Besides....this troll is a Husker fan. A HUSKER FAN! We've beaten the brakes off this dude's favorite team over the past few years. Beat the Black Skirts like rented mules! I'm pretty sure Kirk Ferentz was forced to sign a Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause, in order to be allowed back into Lincoln, Nebraska.

Yeah F the Ferentzs, that game was way too close for comfort! Coaching was so bad that when Stanley had a defender draped around his legs he still threw the ball - it’s time to fire KOK!

There are probably just as many unlucky losses that you didn't mention. Here are three:
2002 ISU game. Fred Russell gets hurt right before halftime-ISU couldn't stop him all first half. It's a humid night and the ball slips out of Brad Banks' hands twice for fumbles in the second half. Iowa blows a 24-7 lead at halftime and loses.
2009 Northwestern game. Iowa is undefeated, leads 10-0 I think. Stanzi is sacked in the end zone, fumbles, NW recovers for a TD. Stanzi is injured, out for the rest of the game on a play that should have been flagged for a face mask by the NW defender. James VB simply wasn't ready to lead the team at that moment. Later, a phantom holding call on a long TD run by Iowa seals our fate.
2014 ISU game. The score is tied. ISU lines up for a game-winning FG. It is no good but Kirk calls a timeout so the kicker gets another chance. This time it's good and we lose.
There are probably others but those come to mind.

Forgot one. I wanna say the 2006 Outback Bowl. Worst officiated game in Iowa history if not college football history, with every call going against the Hawks. The two that stick in my mind are the face mask call on the Iowa receiver when replays showed it was the Florida DB who grabbed the face mask, and the infamous offside call on the onside kick Iowa had recovered which clearly showed it wasn't.
How about the 12th man on the field that almost ran over the guy who was supposed to call it? Or the horrible roughing the passer call on Hodge? The real men of genius video of it is awesome.
That was a rough off season for me... That was as close to destroying my TV as I've ever been

Especially a team that has whipped their ass 4 out of the last 5 years. Very sad, but the thing about the lowliest of losers is that they do not possess enough intelligence to be self-aware.

The complete list is so long, it's ridiculous. Just look at 2010 alone
Wisc converts fake punt on 4th down and another 4th down on same drive to score go ahead TD late 4Q to win by 1.
NW converts 4th down in 4Q and Dan Persa throws winning TD on same play he has season ending injury.
OSU converts 4th and 10 when Terrel Pryor scrambles for first down, OSU goes on to score winning TD late in 4Q
Iowa gives up winning TD to Ariz late in 4Q.
Iowa gives up winning TD to Minn late in 4Q.
In Iowa's 5 losses, Iowa had the lead or was tied late in the 4Q in all of them.
That's why I like the new game plan of taking care of business. Make hay when the sun shines and all that.
Yeah you will find yourself in contested battles, but if you can't figure out how to take advantage of an opportunity, that's on you.
You don't see lions letting their pray stick around any longer than necessary. They put them down as fast as possible and keep them down!

Or how about the 2015 Big Ten CCG. Iowa has 4 point lead late in 4Q and MSU goes on a ridiculous 22-play drive, converting 4th downs, and scoring winning TD with less than left.
In 2017, Iowa had a 4 pt lead on PSU and PSU scores winning TD on very last play of the game.
I could go on and on and on.
