Hawkeyeinstl is not a Hawkeye fan, not a very knowledgeable one anyway. He hasn't been seen on BHGP or GIA in a while, and all he's done on Corn Nation is fellatiate the Fuskers. Methinks something's fishy there.I don't know if anyone read the comments, but I think hawkeyeinstl pretending to represent Hawk fans is full of crap. To me, Nebraska's inability to successfully compete in the Big 10 is for two reasons:
1.) They have to play more than two games per year (Oklahoma and Texas)....or for most of their nationally prominent years in the Big 8, one game; Oklahoma.
2.) They can still recruit skill players, but they are no longer competing in the arena football league and need linemen. By the time Iowa gets to them, they have had the hell beat out of them, then NU fans whine about having to play with their second team offensive line against Iowa.
Finally, hawkeyeinstl stated numerous times that this was not going to be a good year for Iowa (three wins). I think this team will be much better than last year, though granted the schedule is tougher. Dunno, just rubbed me the wrong way.
I know it'll never happen, but one of my dreams is to live long enough to see a Fusker game not sell out. That's the only legitimate thing they still have to hang onto that's not either fake news or rooted in the 90s.Nebby has been taking it up the a$$ for 20 years. Their refusal to admit where they are makes their fans look foolish and provides comedy the rest of the nation enjoys.

Don't they have some sort of arrangement with area corporations (ie Berkshire Hathaway et al) to buy tickets to keep that streak alive?I know it'll never happen, but one of my dreams is to live long enough to see a Fusker game not sell out.

Notre Dame and Nebraska fans are the only two groups deluded enough to think that their accomplishments 30 years in the past still make them relevant and elite.
Their football team may not be what it use to be, but the state of Nebraska is a great place to vacation said no one ever.
I have several friends that were born and raised in Nebbyland but now live in Iowa.Their football team may not be what it use to be, but the state of Nebraska is a great place to vacation said no one ever.
Would not be surprised in the least.Don't they have some sort of arrangement with area corporations (ie Berkshire Hathaway et al) to buy tickets to keep that streak alive?
Would not be surprised in the least.
But even if not I still won't get my hopes up. There are exactly three things in that state that aren't dirt: sand dunes, Cornhole football, and that weird arch thing that goes over I-80 near Kearney.
The inmates of that state have nothing better to do than watch their football program slowly flame out.
Show me where I ever said Iowa football was an elite program.If Nebby is flaming out then what is Iowa doing? At least Nebby is sticking with the times and trying to get better. Even a decent Hawk fan can recognize the disaster Pelini was brewing there and we all wish it stayed. Iowa hasn't won anything but a shared Big Ten title 13 years ago and an orange bowl against Georgia Tech? Lol. That's as irrelevant as Nebby's 97 National Chamiponship season. So what Iowa has beat Nebby 2 years in a row? We're 3-3 against them since they joined, we have the same number of division titles as them. We had our best season ever when they had one of their worst in history. I mean, we went 4-8 not too long ago. I love beating them, but we're getting out recruited as usual and who knows how long we can keep the pace, their brand is still stronger. Nebby has more wins this decade than Iowa, they haven't gotten blasted in 5 straight bowl games, or lost to an FCS team. I love 40-10 but that's just one game & anything can happen on any given Saturday. Especially when they play their backup walk-on QB with a broken wrist. That makes it even sweeter. Not. Let's actually beat a decent Nebby team like in 81 (if there will ever be one again).
Iowa will never be Nebraska historically but as long as we keep beating them then I don't care. I'll take what I can get even though Iowa is the most mocked team in P5 football.
