SoundOFF - Nebraska Media Questioning Frost After Iowa Game

[4thngoal]

It was your AD who warned the Michigan's and Ohio States of the world that they would soon be afraid of Nebraska

It was your coach who called Purdue a winnable game in public.

It was your offensive lineman going public, at least socially, with his quote about "I can't wait to beat Iowa."

It was your post, after no one heard a peep out of any of you when you were losing to Troy and starting F-R-0-6-T, that called us a bunch of cats and kittens.

If Nebraska had won that game you and your fellow fans would have descended upon these boards like a plague of locusts.

We would love to ignore Nebraska. Some fruit is just hanging too low to resist.

It's their fans wondering who would make it to the title game first, Harbaugh (Michigan) or Frost (Braska).
It's their team and coaches who say "with Iowa you know exactly what you are going to get".
(Which is what exactly? )

Funniest shit I've seen on Twitter all week.

How about this they are piping up about how being all B10 isn't crap (after more of our guys got it and not theirs) That all american is all that really matters.
Since the year 2000,
Iowa 10 all Americans.
Nebraska 4 all Americans

You want to go pro and attended college after 1999?? Or in other words, Iowa has been coaching better for 20 years, the entire lifetime of a college aged student.
"With Iowa you always know what you are going to get"
I ask again, what exactly is that?
My Lord, that fan base, school, state is insufferable.

Wait there's more.


Shall we compare stars and class rankings?

I didn't think so.

Here is the dunce hat, now go sit down and STFU.

The really shitty thing is that the Iowa fans that I attended games with were all pretty cool. Honestly, there are more than a few of you on this message board that have been pretty cool. But message boards and social media in general bring out the anonymous d-bags, and this board is not immune to such d-baggery.

See that's just it, you can at least find reasonable and "cool" Iowa fans. Wish I could say the same thing about Husker fans but I cannot.

More wins
More head to head wins
More bowls
More all Americans
More all B1G
More NFL players
Fewer coaching changes
Fewer off the field issues

Next?

Oh, little red. So insecure...

But, but, but, but they won a few NCs last century.

You are absolutely right that we have been obsessing over Nebraska. I don't think anyone really cared that much initially, but the way that Nebraska fans talk about Iowa really gets under our skin. Really, it is very similar to how Iowa State feels about Iowa. Iowa talks down to them and their program all the time, so they are constantly defending themselves and they care about beating Iowa more than anything else.

I work next to a Nebraska fan. I hear the, "Iowa is content with being mediocre, we are not. As soon as Frost gets things rolling, we will be perennial top-10 program" talking points. It is incredibly annoying when a fan of a team that Iowa has been trouncing implies not only that their program is superior, but that you are somehow deficient as a fan because you do not expect enough from your team. For that reason, I REALLY wanted Iowa to beat Nebraska this year. I don't expect the Nebraska fan base to change anytime in the near future, so I anticipate that I will continue to put more emphasis on beating Nebraska compared to any other mid-tier B1G West team.

By the way, there were a ton of Nebraska fans at Kinnick last Friday. They made a great showing, they were loud, they were knowledgeable; I did not see any rudeness or unruly behavior. In short, they were great fans and they did a great job of supporting their team, and I hated them for doing it so well in OUR house.

Good luck with Frost, I hope he makes Nebraska relevant again, and I hope Iowa keeps trouncing your team.

The Nebraska fans I know seem to have had some growth. They no longer have unrealistic expectations about NC, and they're happy now with Frost that they came close to beating Iowa.
