Losers justify losing. However you do it, it is still losing. Until the bar is held higher with coaches and players alike, they will continue to justify losing. The winning heritage was way before current players were even born! They have no clue! Part f this is not a Nebraska problem, but an NIL/transfer portal magnified by some of these spoiled brats being put on a pedestal all through thier career. Any D1 football player that sees the field is a stud and has probably always been the best on thier previous teams/conferences. All teams deal with this crap and it will continue to erode college football. It would not surprise me if Dillon Ravioli got his feelings hurt and plays elsewhere next year.

Thats funny! Who really cares about the past 30 years as that is ancient history. Hell, 30 years ago, Nebraska was a good football team (albeit with plenty of criminal activity). For at least the past several years, Iowa football has been boring as hell, but they have won games. In fact, far more games than the Huskers, and I think they have beat the Huskers 9 out of the last 10. I was as shocked as anybody how the game ended, but Iowa has always had guts and that makes them play till the final whistle. It was clear that the players and coaches of Nebraska gave up at halftime. Iowa has always had grit. As far as the lack of handshakes, nobody that I have talked to thinks that was a portrayal of Husker fans in general, just a few spoiled brats whos asses have been kissed since the were 12 playing Pop Warner football. From what I hear, even in losing, the Husker fans in Iowa City were very respectful. If Ruhl and his team do not come out with an apology, the curse will continue and it will be an uphill battle for the team. I am pretty certain that recruits and recruits parents were not exactly thrilled with it. Dillon Ravioli, for being a 5 star, is SLOW as an ox! Between he and Rhule, you will never make it to the top of the heap (not that Iowa will ether, btw)

Ooops, I was wrong again! Ravioli fumbled instead of throwing an int! Go Hawks and see you boys next year!!!

Why is it that poor players, bad teams, and bad coaching is always the fault of the refs?

I thought that Nebraska would start stronger with fewer mental mistakes. Defense is doing well, but remember that the Iowa QB was on Scout Team 4 weeks ago. Ravioli is not exactly playing great.

I changed my mind on tonight's outcome. Huskers will be down by 4 (21-17) with 3 minutes left in the game and will be driving on offense. Dillion Ravioli will attempt to be a hero and throw an interception. Iowa's boring offense will run out the clock. Enjoy the game!

I must have missed that part. I am betting Huskers by 10. For this rivalry to exist there needs to at least be a bit of trash talk both ways. It is all perspective, except of course to the facts of lawlessness in Lincoln during the run in the 80's and 90's, as that is well documented. Remove this lawlessness and the wins and championships seem to go away. Good luck this evening!

I could not agree more. through odd circumstances, Iowa has been ranked WAY higher than what was deserved for many years. They have been fortunate to be the opposite of Nebraska in that they have figured out how to win the close games. Not pretty, but they win. Frankly, other than the criminal element, I enjoyed watching the huskers offense back in the day. They pounded the option better than anybody. I still believe that it would work today. Dont worry, after the game I will slip away for another year. Somebody has to stir up the chit! I still say Nebraska by 10.

Truer words have never been spoken! The Iowa offense has been boring as hell, but lets stack up wins and losses. Do we want exciting or do we want wins??? It is amazing that we have had the bit of success that we have. Cade was definitely a dud and was left in way to long. Iowa has had 2 coaches since about 1980. Two caches in 45 years! Hayden probably hung on a few years too long also. It woudl have worked out well if Brian F could have run an offense, but we all know how that worked out!

That is an awesome quote! And yes, the Nebraska pockets are DEEEEP.

Wow, you really have some clever stuff. Maybe you could take the time to refute the claim that Nebraska was the "Crime Capital of College Football" back in the National Championship days.

The "wholr" time, or did you mean "whole" time. Yes, indeed, the N must not really stand for knowledge. Hmmmm.

Please share some proof of exactly what happened. It was unsubstantiated, the University just wanted it behind them. The coaches were pissed because they wanted to go to court to clear thier names. Iowa has the money to easily pay, as we have not had to buy out 5 coaches over the past 25 years.

OK, lets discuss. Show me proof of any racism. All of the rules were the same, no matter the color of the skin. There were a few players that washed up and did not make the NFL make claims, but there was never any real proof. Now the gun used in a felony by a player, it is well documented that Osborne had an assistant lock it away so that the player could play. 1994 I believe? Lets bring back the good old days!!!! Crime Capital of College Football? Tom Osborne might have repaired Nebraska’s damaged image in two years since Lincoln became the crime capital of college football, but the thin line between sainthood and Satan, between right and wrong, can be breached in the matter of one weak moment. How about Lawrence Philips: Two years ago, Lawrence Phillips, a talented but troubled running back from a West Covina, Calif., group home, drove to a teammate’s apartment in the early-morning hours after a game, broke in and confronted a former girlfriend, basketball player Kate McEwen. Despite the presence of 6-foot-3 quarterback Scott Frost, an enraged Phillips grabbed McEwen by her hair and dragged her down several flights of stairs. How about Christian Peter? But it was Christian Peter, an outstanding, 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive tackle from New Jersey who further sullied the program’s image. Peter was arrested five times from 1991 through ‘93 for exposing himself to a female student, urinating in public and failing to comply with a police officer’s orders, among other indiscretions. Despite the problems, Osborne played Peter because the tackle met his requirements after each incident.

Hmmmm, everybody caught that I mentioned the wrong day, yet no discussion about Dr Tom storing a players gun that was used to commit a crime? Odd........

I guess that the "N" really does mean knowledge. You are all right, the game is tomorrow night, not tonight. I stand corrected.

Whew, I think that answers everybody. After tonight I will go back in hiding for another year! Lets all hope for a good game tonight and that all of the players come out healthy.

Thats funny! Do you realize that was 25 years ago? Lets at least discuss things that happened in the last decade or so. Oh, unless you want to discuss how crooked Dr Tom was in winning those championships.

Now taking hits from an ISU guy! I have loved watching the success in Ames. They have stumbled a few times but Matt Campbell is a class act that has a winning culture and that will always prevail. I really hope that ISU will be able to keep him as they could continue to have great successes. I believe that he likes Ames, but money does talk.

Wow, that whole wandering around thing is about as worn out as the "N" standing for knowledge. Please come up with some new stuff. No doubt the Huskers had a hell of a run and had a system of bringing in players that had strong desire. The walk on program was unreal. Today......not so much. Think about it, you guys are excited about winning 6 and possibly going to the Pinstripe Bowl! Oh how the mighty have fallen. I do believe that the Huskers will win tonight by 10. If you are coming to Iowa City, bring your Carharts because it is going to be cold!

In hindsight whatever was done to get Cade was not a good decision. He has definitely been a flop. I am not certain what KF did wrong, but I cannot imagine walking through the landmines of NCAA rules these days. I liked it better back in the day when a coach would store a gun that was used to commit a crime for a football player and not get punished (hmmm, who did that?). It was all in the name of winning, so anything would go! Lets bring back those days!

Thats funny! Indeed at one time the Huskers were the ones to beat. I still don't understand. Did Brian have Star Wars stuff in the case, or are you just making that up???????

I don't get it. Star Wars memorabilia? I do remember the Husker mustache contest during the "Frosty" era. Those were the days!

I love it! The "Iowa Stupid Birds"! Toddlers should not be allowed on the internet! That entire post is dumb. You can do better (I hope?)

Does that say #17 Iowa (9 and 2) with 10 points and unranked 5-6 Nebraska 7? Remind me, how did the game end?
