Rick Reilly - Nebraska's Big Ten Primer - ESPN

Funny stuff there.

"Oy, that Sea of Red some of you wear: red socks, red overalls, red cowboy hats. Goes nice with your necks, though."

 

[Palpatine]

Best sentence: "I'm afraid Wisconsin is you, Nebraska, only with much better parties and more wins."

 

[MelroseHawkins]

I thoroughly enjoyed that.

 

[FML]

pretty good article for Reilly

That my friends was classic and TRUE

Funny, but not particularly true, but funny.

Also funny about how the Hawks were totally forgotten.

Touche'

They're mentioned.

Reilly is a Wisconsin homer just fyi

EDIT: Reilly has ties to Wisconsin, but is a CU homer.

Oh yeah.....

Reilly is a Wisconsin homer just fyi

He's a Fluffalo, like another idiot Woody Paige.

Still funny, but I take it with a grain of salt.

I could see how you missed this much of the article:


Your new rival -- Forget Oklahoma. Now it's Iowa, like it or not. You close out your regular season with the Hawkeyes on the day after Thanksgiving at home. Iowa's a natural for you. Both your states are so flat you can watch a train pull out for three days.
Football-wise, Iowa has been better than you lately, but you're 26-12-3 against the Hawkeyes overall, plus your football lore gives their lore an atomic wedgie (Nebraska: three full national championships and two half ones; Iowa: one-half of a national championship). All in all, it ought to be a big game every year. Got a name for it, too. The Cornfrontation.

Word round the campfire is his kid went to Wisconsin. I can neither confirm nor deny.

Reilly had to have been on acid when he wrote that. Very funny.

Either my dyslexia must have got the better of me, or my ADHD

He may have attended Wisconsin, can't comment on that, but you must have missed this quote, "Growing up as a Colorado Buffs fan, we were taught that if Nebraska was playing Libya, we should be there with a giant poster of Moammar Gaddafi. "

Yeah I saw that. Just adding in that context.

Reilly was born and raised in Boulder and went to CU.

IOWA IS NOT FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BabcockIC]

Have you ever been west of Cedar Rapids? There is nothing until Colorado.

IOWA IS NOT FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe in the north-eastern part of the state, but if you're driving I-80, you get a few gently rolling hills, and that's it.

IOWA IS FLAT!!!

IOWA IS NOT FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Highway 20 from just west of Cedar Falls to the end of the expressway portion at Highway 4 near Pomeroy is about as flat as anything you'll find in Kansas or Oklahoma.
