Cyclone Sloup

Frank Solich is the only Nebraska coach that beat Texas.

I don't like this logic... Just like we beat Texas after last years Texas debacle, right? Yeah I guess iowa state has the good athletes that Texas has. Yes, Iowa State doesn't stand a chance. I mean, look. They barely beat Kansas, right? Beating Kansas isn't earth shattering. I wouldn't go getting yourself all excited for nothing and I wouldn't expect the help of 8 turnovers this year. kansas is so bad that their spring game ended with two losses. Did you feel that breeze just overhead?

Nebraska beat Kansas State who beat Iowa State who beat Texas who beat Nebraska who beat Kansas State who...

Regardless of the outcome the Mizzou @ Nebraska game next week, all eyes will be on Ames on November 6th. Two teams that want and need to make a statement in a fight towards the top of the division. At this point, just about anybody could win the North. Nebraska and Mizzou are the obvious contenders, but Iowa State is diving into its North play (minus K-State) with a victory at Texas, and Bill Snyder is too wily to count him out just yet.

God, I hope so. I saw discussion about Mizzou, and I was thinking that was later in the season for you. I must have been thinking about our schedule. At any rate, I most certainly will be back later.

Just a warning, I might go as far as to say Hawkeye fans are worse. Kirk Ferentz is respectful enough, but the fans are just straight up rude.

Yes, yes. Please don't think about Iowa State. Especially since they just put up 50 points for the first time since Seneca Wallace was around. Against Texas Tech, no less. It's just Iowa State, right? Nebraska hasn't lost to them in about nine to seven years. Paul Rhoads would be so proud to have an undefeated record against Bo Pelini and Nebraska. Austen Arnaud's now healthy arm is continuing to improve, finally not throwing any interceptions in a game. Alexander Robinson hasn't had the most impressive numbers so far, but part of that is the addition of two more strong running backs in Shontrelle Johnson (who busted out a 61 yard TD run against TT) and Jeff Woody. Jake Knott and A.J. Klein are proving to be fantastic linebackers, and their stats are backing that up. The Cyclone secondary should be able to handle anything Nebraska throws at them. And did I mention the game is at Jack Trice? Sure, Texas Tech isn't the team it has been in the past, and a shutout against an FCS team isn't entirely impressive. But Nebraska hasn't done that much to prove they were more impressive. In fact, Iowa State would have had 56 against Texas Tech if it weren't for a questionable (although fair) offensive pass interference call. All in all, I would say 56-38 against TT is more impressive than 56-21 against Washington, if only slightly. All I'm saying is that Iowa State has a larger offensive toolbox this year, especially if you're talking about the Jerome Tiller/Jeremiah Schwartz combo Nebraska faced last year, which means if there are weaknesses in the Husker defense, we will likely be able to take advantage. The defense is proving to perform better than many expected with the amount of inexperience with which the squad began the season. And Paul Rhoads will make sure the team keeps improving on both sides of the ball.

He has a good sense of humor, too. Mailbag said this- Larry in Salina, Kansas asks: Does Texas pay you weekly or monthly for your services? DU: Bi-weekly, with per-post bonuses.

It would make more sense for the University of Nebraska to be UN anyway.

Both Broyles and Fuller are on the list. Niles Paul, if you ask me, is a bit overrated because he lets his ego get in the way. Jerrod should definitely be on the list, but I don't know a whole lot about Nwachukwu.

I think the evidence speaks for itself.

This. It was made by Hawkeyes, so odds are they were smashed when they wrote that.

There's a difference between being loyal and being delusional. We could say Iowa State could beat Nebraska if Iowa State had Suh, but that doesn't mean that the statement has any bearing on reality. Have you been reading the thread at all? I'm a Cyclone fan through and through. Hence the name. I've been trying to have an intelligent conversation with another fanbase about my team, where others like yourself have been doing nothing but dancing around, shoving an extremely lucky victory down Nebraska fans' throats, and if you look at the thread, it's doing our reputation no good whatsoever.

Definitely. 38 - 19 Iowa - Iowa State And Iowa is a team that has been nationally relevant for a short time in the 1950s and just in the past decade. Only an average Big Ten team historically. Only 11 Big Ten championships (only 4 of them outright, too). Iowa State and Iowa are but one team of their respective conferences, and you're comparing one of the better Big Ten teams to one of the worst Big XII teams, historically speaking.
