That wouldn't make any sense for Kill. Lateral move.

You must have the sports almanac from Back to the Future. Biff...is that you?

09 and 02 Iowa was ranked in the top 5 in November. Also, if national relevance is what you require for a rival than why are you suggesting that Wisconsin or Northwestern replace Iowa? Wisconsin would just kick Nebraska's a$$ mostly and have you seen Northwestern's record? Just because they consistently play tough with Nebraska doesn't mean they're nationally relevant. You Husker fans just provide so much entertainment. 09 and 02 Iowa was ranked in the top 5 in November. Do you hang banners for that........?? No we don't. I was just pointing out that Iowa was nationally relevant in his lifetime. Do you know how to read and read context? Never mind that's a silly question.

Great looking forward to it!

Lol don't flatter yourself. What about Nebraska RIGHT NOW is better than Iowa going forward. I don't need a history lesson. Going forward how can you say they will win 9/10? And yes I would consider 38-17 a curb stomping and with all of the times Iowa had the ball on Nebraskas side of the field it should have been a lot worse. This win doesn't feel any more special than the other 7 wins, Husker fans are just so fun and easy to rile up.

Nebraska is not a great team. Next. Neither is Iowa. Enjoy this one, because Iowa victories in this "rivalry" will be few and far between.... I guess we'll see. I think you Huskers are more butt hurt about this loss than you let on. Iowa will have a very similar team next year and this years team just curb stomped you guys by 21. Last year Nebraska could only manage to beat a 4-8 Iowa team by 6 and James Vandenberg was our QB!. This series will be close there is no doubt about it. In today's college football Iowa and Nebraska are about equal. Please keep Pelini btw. He makes watching Husker meltdowns so much more enjoyable.

Nebraska is not a great team. Next.

Nice try. I believe this team did beat your beloved Huskers though.

Hmmm don't seem to see any of these at Iowa..... How many of those will help them Saturday?

Iowa State and Kansas are on that list. What's your point? You just expounded on my point. Iowa and now you pointed out Iowa State and Kansas are all seen in a higher regard academically than Nebraska.

Well if we are insulting intelligence here I guess I'll join. http://www.aau.edu/about/article.aspx?id=5476 Don't seem to see UNL on this list...

Maybe most Iowa fans have a more realistic expectation for where their program is at this point. Maybe Nebraska fans shouldn't be so upset at an 8-3 record? Seeing as that has been and will be the norm for Nebraska football for quite some time it might be a good idea to not set the bar too high. The college football landscape is vastly different than it was when Nebraska was a power. This makes it very difficult for a program like Nebraska or Iowa to compete for National titles on a consistent basis ("...but you're an Iowa fan what do you know about winning titles?" Please save it.) I do think it's fair for the both of our programs to expect 8-10 win seasons on a regular basis with the occasional 11 when things fall into place and 6-7 when it's time to rebuild. Both of our programs simply don't have the recruiting resources to do that. I mean lets face it both fan bases come from boring states to a 5 star athlete from Florida. My main point is that I don't believe that Nebraska is what it once was and most likely never will be. I'm not even trying to start a flame war by saying that, Nebraska has great history and it's hard to match that in the mid-west. What is more likely to happen is Nebraska consistently being a tough team that is enjoyable for their fans to watch. As for me from an Iowa perspective, I truly believe that Iowa is getting better from being in the toilet last season and could be ready to make this series something special over the years. Friday's game should be great as both teams are very even and have strengths and weaknesses that will create interesting matchups. Iowa is not Colorado, but it's hard for me to say that given the recent results. For Iowa's sake I hope that they show some passion that was lacking the past two years to show that they are even with Nebraska. Here's to a great game on Friday

0maybe you think so. i am perfectly fine with how bo represents our program. but, i guess if you cannot beat us, just as well go for the character assassination. real class. So as long as Pelini keeps beating Iowa you're okay with him saying "F the fans."? Interesting. Considering that one minute rant had more intensity than Kirk has had his entire career, sure. I do wish Kirk showed more passion on the sideline, but he does show it at times when the camera is not on him. Mitch King (defensive tackle from 2005-08) has told stories of Kirk's emotion in the locker room and on the practice field. One story in particular is when Iowa was losing to Minnesota at halftime in 2006 Kirk came into the locked room and kicked the Floyd of Rosedale trophy. Not sure it was the smartest decision as I'm sure it was painful, but the talk that Kirk shows zero emotion is false. He just doesn't act like a clown on the sideline.
