    Don't even hate to say it, but I just feel like betting every Iowa game this year. and taking the points (if they are favorite) and laying the points (if they are underdog).  

     

    Too much happening to them and that tells me this is going to be a bad year for them.  I'll probably end up 9-3 or 10-2 $$$$

    Just bet the same way their players are betting and should be good.

    Or the 2015 Illinois game where TA throws that pass when all we needed to do was run the ball.  We give it back to Illinois with 0:40 left and they need to go 70 yards with no timeouts.  We give up a 50 yard pass on their second play and Illinois scores a couple plays later.

     

    Or the very next week vs Wisconsin.  Janovich runs 50 yards for a TD giving us a 1 point lead with 3:30 to go.  Defense then allows Joel Stave to drive down the field, but Wisky misses a 35 yard FG with 1:30 to go.  We get ball back, but Wisconsin has all 3 TOs.  We run up the middle 3 times and punt to them with 1:00 to go.  Stave takes Wisky down the field again and this time they hit the FG as time expires to win.

    I should also say that I am not a Penn State fan, I am a fan of Ohio State.  I just think it would be good for the Big Ten and would also put Nebraska's Rivalry Weekend on a National Scope.

    I agree with you, I just don't think the powers that be would be interested or let it happen. It would definitely be better than playing Iowa at the end of each season. Especially once we start stomping them on a yearly basis,:koolaid2:

    Hello Board,

     

    I am not a big Nebraska fan like most here but I have a question about Nebraska's rivalry status.  It is obvious from messages on this forum that Nebraska fans are less than thrilled with the annual end of season Iowa game.  The problem in my opinion is Nebraska as a blue blood program is being matched up with a slightly above average program traditionally, which is difficult for a program that is accustomed to matching up with Oklahoma historically.

     

    My thoughts are why doesn't Nebraska look into playing Penn State as the Annual Season Finale Rivalry Game?  It would be a matchup of two blue blood programs and one of three blue blood matchups in the Big Ten during the Thanksgiving Weekend...Ohio State/Michigan, USC/UCLA, and Nebraska/Penn State.  Those three games would overshadow all other Big Ten games played that weekend.  It would also force Iowa to look for another end of season rival, which they most likely would have to settle for Michigan State.

     

    I know Nebraska/Penn State isn't currently a huge rivalry but there is history there, especially with the 1994 season where both teams were undefeated but couldn't play each other for the National Championship.

     

    I also know it is a long distance, but lets face it, the Big Ten has become a National Conference and fans can fly both directions.  With the elimination of divisions, this even makes more sense.

     

    Penn State might have a slight talent advantage to begin with but it wouldn't be long before Nebraska would catch up.  I think being in a classic like this would help Nebraska's recruiting.  Penn State fans would need to agree, obviously, but I think this would be good for their program as well since they have always complained about the lack of a good rivalry matchup at the end of the season.

     

    Finally, I think it would be really good for the Big Ten Conference to have three historical games during the Thanksgiving Weekend.  No other conference could top that since no other conference has that many blue blood programs to begin with.  It would be a huge money maker for television.

     

    Anyway, I am just curious to see what Nebraska fans think about this.  I think Iowa is pulling Nebraska down to their level whereas an annual end of season rivalry would bring both Penn State and Nebraska back to elite status.

    Not a bad idea. Will probably never happen though.

     

     

    Also, Iowa sucks.:thumbs

  5. Not the right place for this, so move if needed but I was told there is a kid from Wayne, going into eighth grade who was recently at a husker camp and was timed twice at 4.6 in the 40. Supposedly Hartzog and him raced and Hartzog only won by a couple steps. Impressive.
