Even though I realize that Nebraska will be an extremely difficult team to beat (just like Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and others), I am really excited about their entry into the Big 10 (assuming Neb and Iowa are in the same division). What a tremendous natural rival for Iowa!!!!

Now if we could just erase that goofy game against Iowa State from the schedule each year..........
 


I'm also excited. This should help the B10 brand, and lessen some of the B10 bashing around the country. We need Nebraska to roll thru the B12 this season.

If there's any doubt that ISU isn't our main rival it's about to be decisively removed.
 


Agree the addition of NU is good for the Big 10 and for NU. The Big Ten will be in it for the long haul. I see major problems for the Big 12 unless they pull a rabbit out of their hat.
 


If we go to 9 game conference schedule, it could make it very tough on us. Playing that schedule last year with Nebraska tacked on the end,in a year we were not so talented, could bury us...Wis,OSU,MSU,PSU and Neb all on the road...ouch.

I hope they shake up our schedule to split these toughies on the road up...like PSU,MSU and Mich on the road with Wis,OSU and Neb at home and then flip flop.
Adding one team,even a good one, should not impact us too much,but of course, we have to at least go .500 vs Neb or it will be not good for us.

Is it too much to hope for a PSU like run vs Neb? In a way, I think we might match up well vs them,just like we do with PSU and Wis...lets hope.
 


Nebraska has a classy football program with a lot of tradition. I respect Nebraska. Obviously, so does Wisconsin. Barry Alvarez gushed about his alma mater on the BTN, and now Bielema wants an end of year rivalry games. Classy move.

Classy? Really? Are you aware of their history with partial qualifiers who got on campus and mysteriously became model students? Also, they have had some legendary thugs in that program. I don't think they are slime, but to call them classy might be going a little far.
