Obligatory "Is Iowa a Rival" Thread

[HawkTalk]

Iowa lost the tie breakers for the conference championships in the 00s, so didn't get to be No. 1 spot in the Big 10 any of those times. Nebraska only had to share one National title, 1997.

We went undefeated in conference in 2002, so any tie breakers would have been related to who was the last to appear in the Rose Bowl, nothing to do with record. I'm no Nebraska historian, I thought they had a split title in 1970? Either way, I'm pretty sure 99% of husker fans would say if they went undefeated in conference that it's a legit conference title with no conference title game at the time.

You are doing the same stuff you are accusing Nebraska fans but for lesser accomplishments, it’s weird.

lol I'm just defending against the argument. I never questioned any of Nebraska's shared accomplishments. My point was, a shared title is still a title.

The only question is how will Iowa beat us. Will it be a last second field goal, or will they realize we have no rush defense and ram it down our throat in a blowout?

The word is that Kirk Ferentz said if he loses to Nebraska this year he will retire. If I have to spend another year watching that gum chewing prick on the sidelines I’m blaming you!

I would almost prefer a blowout than a last second stab in the heart field goal.

Well, we have zilch to lose. I would sell out every play on stacking the box. Who cares if they throw, stop the run if you wanna keep this score (loss) respectable. And may as well let Lateef run as much as possible at this point.

And jeopardize our chance at having the number 1 pass defense in the nation? I think not!
