** 2024 Opponent Preview : Iowa (Game 12) **

I suck at golf; I'm incredibly stoked at the prospect of a triple bogey. My buddy is pretty good at golf, almost always beating me by at least 2 strokes every hole. Even if I used to be the best at golf decades ago and expect to be great even though I suck, it's obviously lame as hell for me to laugh at my buddy and talk about how bad he is.

If I'm trying to determine if your buddy is good enough for the PGA tour, the fact you're terrible doesn't matter.

 
Pretty hilarious - as much as I dislike them, I'm pretty confident Iowa does pretty much everything above board. So the one time they "cheat" in a way that 90% of other teams do all the time, they do it so bad they get caught. Pretty meaningless punishment, and I'm fine with that because there are much worse offenders. 

 
My first thought is it’s funny they’d have to violate rules to get the classes they get. I dunno what their average is but I think #32 in 2024 was fairly high for them. They were #41 in 2023. 

But I’d definitely rather have their records and recruiting classes vs. our records and recruiting classes the past 10 years.

Sounds like they must have been talking to McNamara before they should have been.

 
This will totally disappear during thanksgiving, but I have a new found respect for Kirk.  He does things his way and he wins enough to get away with that. Even after all this heat he's taken he's still going to roll out a crappy offense, win a bunch of games and do it exactly how the man wants to run his program.  The defense is going to be awesome and somehow it never causes a locker room problem that they carry the team while offense craps itself over and over again.

I agree. People were mad sick about Nebraska doing things the way we did them for 20+ years. Winning games, being ranked, getting to bowls, losing big games, not being able to “win the big one”.

 Iowa, hate them.  But be honest for a minute, they have been successful under him and have have nice moments as a program. Turned several layers into NFL players and make winning seasons. It’s just true. 
They have been consistent under Kirk and have at least shown up.  Now it’s our turn to shut them the F up and reassert our dominance over them. 

I want to beat the s#!t out of Iowa w something on the line and I hope N can start using them like the little bastards  they are. Until then, I give them the little tiny props they deserve.
