Nebraska Personnel Guy Says Loss to Iowa was BS

The problem is they didn't have more talent on the roster this year. They didn't have a defensive back as good at Desmond King. They didn't have a LB better than Josey. They had a couple decent DL players, but nothing considerably better than Jaleel.

On offense their OL wasn't better, their RB certainly weren't better, their QB wasn't better, but they did have better WR. When you have one position group that is better than the opponent, you are not more talented than them.

Ding ding ding... I don't see a flip side argument to that if I were Nebraska. It's what makes what he said so delusional. Iowa punched them in the mouth early in that game with those two long scores and that's really all it took. Nebraska had like one good possession the whole game. And even that took them scoring on a 4th and 10 to do it. There were no fluky turnovers in the game. Iowa late in the game man handled them on that last scoring drive in the 4th q. They had no fight in them. Didn't Iowa posses the ball like all but 2 or 3 mins of the 4th q? So by saying losing to Iowa was BS who exactly is he calling out? Their coaches, players or refs? Cause saying they were the better TEAM sure doesn't add up anyway you slice it.

I honestly think a win in Lincoln next year would really waken some of the naive Husker fans. I think in their eyes they might recognize that Iowa is legit. I think a win in Lincoln next year really starts to ramp up the rivalry.

Of course, you're thinking like a rational football fan. Iowa has won 3 of the last 4, and it should be 4 of the last 4; however, Husker fans (the antithesis of rational) still have their heads in the clouds (or somewhere else). They'll never consider Iowa legitimate, because 20+ years ago they won National Championships.

FIFY
 
Living in Omaha have to put up with the Bullsh** every day and the delusional perspective that they are a force not only in the B1G, but on the national scene. They don't have one player on their roster in which they have been able to witness a season in which NU was relevant on the national scene.

Final point. When you have 4 losses in 2016 with a beat down average of 29.75 points per game (one loss coming in overtime), it just proves that they are not a player in the national scene.
 
It is really about what happened on the field. If you defeat Minnesota, Iowa State and Nebraska, you can feel pretty good about defeating your rivals. If you lose the game, grit your teeth and get ready for next year. That is what a rivalry is all about.

Nebraska fans talk down to us even when we beat them. We have been guilty of that in the past with Iowa State. You need to respect your rival....Nebraska just can't get it in their heads that this is an important game for them each and every year.

Iowa owns Nebraska right now. We'll see what happens in Lincoln in 2017!
 
The fusker fans are blaming the loss to their QB was hurt. For crying out loud don't they remember just the year before our QB was hurt and we still beat them. How about our injuries this year? We still beat them. What a bunch of lame a$$ fans! Excuses excuses sxcuses! You flat out got destroyed by IOWA!!!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHahaHaHaHaHaHa

Good lord it was an old-fashioned p*** pounding on Black Friday. They may have had more talent as freshman recruits but by the time the games are played it's a different story. Having one of the best developmental programs in all of college football is a great equalizer.

Their QB sucked against Iowa the previous season and was severely limited due to injury last season. Hey, that's gotta be on their HC. Did they have to feature an injured Armstrong?

Nebraska is a couple of punt returns, and one of the worst coaching jobs in a half of football away (Ferentz) from being down 4 in a row. All this to a team that isn't worthy of a rivalry. It's like Penn State, when Nebraska entered the B10, all the talk was of B10 championships. Well little sister, you can't beat up on Kansas and Iowa State and play one big game a year in the B10 and soak up the glory. You have to play every week and it's physical. Penn State learned the same thing. Oh...and guess what...teams will score 70 on you every now and then. Well, only Nebraska gets that treatment.

Problem is this: they don't consider us a rival. Period. And there are too many generations that still remember their glory days. So they're not going to consider us rivals until a couple generations move on and the younger generations see Iowa win 3-of-4 with 40-10 and 35-21 whippings.

But I am okay with whipping non-rivals 40-10 on Black Fridays.

More please.

And maybe they'll consider us rivals when the Big10 threatens to pull the game from Friday because the Cornhuskers are not competitive.

And then maybe they'll steal a nickname or two from us when they "upset" us in 9 years like after Nebby "upset" Iowa in 1893 and this headline followed:

"We have seen the Cornhuskers and they are ours."

So they changed from Bugeaters, Hawkeyes, Tree Planters, or Nebraskans (take your pick) after beating Iowa.

Apparently ISU isn't the only school with little brother syndrome.
 
Scott Dochterman tweeted at Geoff Olson that Wisky and Iowa are 7-1 the last 8 times they've played Nebraska... Their more worried about out recruiting OSU and Michigan then they are about actually beating teams in their division... So there's a little insight on where their heads are... Talent doesn't mean anything if you can't coach it up. The Brady Hoke era is exibit A to that. They aren't going to win many if any of those head to head matches for recruits and surely the hell they know that. So I say let them waste time trying as we go after kids we can get and coach up.
 
That idiot should start looking at their coaches and be very proud. Their WR coach is getting 30 days in jail for his DUI and still has a job. Only in the superior program of the fuskers could you be so pathetic!
 
"Losing to Central/Western/North/etc. directional school was BS."

"Hey, they are an elite FCS program. Wasn't surprised by the outcome and don't know why anyone else would."

Cool bump Bro. I mean did this thought just strike you like lightning at 12am this morning, months after the season is over?
