My reason? Simple. A ton of bug eaters in these parts. And I'm tired of those red necks telling me "We're gonna kick your ***" every time they see me with a Hawkeye shirt on. And I am REALLY sick of Bo.
They once had a coach I kind of had respect for — Tom O. But those fans never, ever, had class. Never.
True story ... happened in college, about 1993. My buddy from Nebby knocks on my door, grinning ear to ear. "Guess which No. 1 wrestling team just got beat? Can ya guess? And who beat 'em."
My response: "Only took you 20 years to catch up. Let me know when you guys actually win a national title. Let me know anytime you have any coach that has even half the success of my man Dan Gable — in any sport. All respects to Ozzy, he doesn't hold a candle to Gable. Few can. By the way, how is it you never wanted to talk wrestling the past three years until now? Get the hell out of my room. Once you have adjusted your attitude, you can have another beer."
Yeah, I want a win over Nebby in football. I want one desperately.

Lol...good one....and I'll toss in Curtis Craig for good measure.
Roger Craig was a huge loss for Iowa when he thumbed his nose at Hayden's new tenure and kept trucking down I-80 to Lincoln.
What a difference he would have made in the Iowa program....but oh well....

Thanks! To be honest, I don't watch a ton of football but from what I have seen, I don't like the matchup for the Huskers. I'm feeling less and less confident about this game.
True, but I guess you could've pulled a Kyle VandenBosch or a Trev Alberts, too. Ahhhh, the good ol' days.
I'm still a little miffed that Iowa stole Kinnick from us............
lol

And I haven't forgiven you guys for stealing away Johnny Carson in his childhood years.
