Nebraska or Arizona, who would you rather play in a bowl game?

Forget about which bowl it is, assume that doesn't matter. Who would you rather play. I know the revenge factor with AZ is your gut instinct, but after watching Nebby tonight God I want to play them THIS YEAR. My son asked me tonight why I didn't want them to win and all I could say is I don't know I just don't like them. It won't happen but I would love to see the Clowns take them down in L'Ames.

AZ. The better team did NOT win in Tucson and I'd like nothing more than for Iowa to prove it in a big bowl game. I would've loved to have the Fuskers on the schedule for the last 5 years as we would have likely taken at least 4 of those games. Go figure though, we finally get them on the schedule when their finally looking like Nebraska of old.
 
Arizona without a doubt. We get Nebraska every year for a while starting next year, let's shove it down the Wildcats throats while we still have the chance. Outside of a bowl game, this game will definitely never happen again.
 
I hear you guys but what about all those Husker idiots that live in Iowa talking sh!t? Then I think of Stoops antics on the sidelines and I'm with you. Obviously we all want to play in the Rose Bowl too. But if it's not AZ, they are #2.

AZ in the Rose Bowl.
 
It's a tough call and why I posted it, but I would rather play them this year because I think we are better than we will be next year but who knows.

I agree. I thnk we have a better chance this year than next year to beat Nebraska.
 
I would rather play Nebraska in a bowl game to shut up their fan base about their true freshman quarterback. They're defense isn't that great and they haven't played a team worth that has defense this entire year. I would love for the Hawks to shut them down and humble their fans before their Big 10 debut next year. Plus I absolutely hate the fan base more than any other in college football after growing up in NW IA and Omaha.
 
Arizona, but only in the Rose Bowl! Otherwise what a better way to kick of the rivalry with the Huskers than on a Jan 1 bowl game? That would be awesome!
 
I would vote Arizona as well, they are a better team then Nebraska plus we have a score to settle with them. I know what Neb did last night, but Kansas St isn't that good regardless of what ISU fans think. Kansas St will finish at best 6-6 and their D sucks against the run so they made Nebraska look better then they really are.
 
This is weird b/c I was going to start a thread about this as well...

Anyway, I'd take a trip to the Rose Bowl every time over some other bowl (except the BCS Championship) so that means I'd rather play Arizona again.

FWIW, The only way we play AZ again is in the Rose b/c bowls tend to shy away from rematches.

It would be really nice to get another crack at Arizona, though.
 
I don't really want to see Arizona go undefeated.. but, along with us winning out.. that's likely the only way we'll see the rematch.

It is something I would really like to see though.
 
While the AZ game sucked about a week after the game I viewed AZ as out of sight out of mind. While NE we get to hear their usual were back, were the best fans, were going to the NCG crap. Give me NE any day of the week.
 
I spent the first 20 years or so of my life in sw Iowa. I have spent the last 20 years in Nebraska. That being said, I hate all things red, I hate the Huskers,I hate their stupid fans,I hate red cars/trucks, I hate living in their stupid state(moving back to IA in 11 years and counting). I hate their damn taxes, hate their damn coach, I hate Nebraska! Who cares about Arizona? A team with a balanced offense and a good defense will walk right through Nebraska.(anybody come to mind?)
