GBRHouston Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 OK. I know we go through this every year, but whatever. Let's do it again. What is Iowa's resume to be Nebraska's rival? And how is their resume better than that of any other team in our division? What do you consider "record"? I know we go through this every year....because some fans (you) have a fit when someone suggests or acts like Iowa is a rival? They are a rival to a lot of fans. They may not be to you...and that's fine. It's not like the entire fan base all of a sudden has to take a vote and what ever the decision is....settles it. A lot of Iowoegians don't like Nebraska and a lot of Nebraskan's don't like Iowa. None of the hate from either side is logical. You can just tell that by the jokes that go back and forth. Believe me...moving to Iowa from Nebraska and then back again....I know this first hand. Constantly the same jokes. Constantly Iowa fans hating on Nebraska. Constantly Nebraska fans thumbing their noses at Iowa and claiming they suck. In the end...it's the same fricken jokes told by each side. On and on and on..... It's a rival. You don't have to agree with it or even have it as a rival for yourself. AND....it's not even a rival at the level of OU....but at this point, no BigTen team is. And...no reason to get into this big debate with people who do think it's somewhat of a rival every year. I see the whole thing with Iowa as more of a friendly rivalry where each side takes jabs at each other. I don't HATE them, pretty sure most Hawkeye fans don't HATE us, but we still take fun jabs at each other. I feel like more natural hate comes out of us and Wisconsin, and I wouldn't mind them being our rivalry week game, but they already have their thing with Minnesota. Quote Link to comment

So, basically the same thing we have with Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue.... Quote Link to comment

Obviously, the Broken Chair was not brought to us by Corp America, so it has that going for it. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I stumbled upon a girl enrolled at Iowa who wants to get into sportscasting and she's a 10, now I can't find her and I hate myself. Quote Link to comment

Their girls are almost as cute as ours. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 What is Iowa's resume to be Nebraska's rival? And how is their resume better than that of any other team in our division? More fans of each program dislike the other program more than they dislike other programs. It's pretty easy. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'd just like to point out that it's been over an hour since I posted a pic of the trophy, and nobody has noticed (or at least, nobody has pointed out) that it's not the Nebraska/Iowa trophy.That's the Nebraska/Wisconsin trophy.Burning hot rivalry we have here.
