Does anyone else HATE the Hawkeyes

[EZ-E]

I have been a husker fan since birth. I live in Iowa and I cant STAND the Hawkeyes and their fan base. If they were on our schedule I would rather lose to OU or UT two times each before EVER dropping a game to these guys.

This must be an Eastern Nebraska thing (I'm from GI). I've never had a problem with them. In fact, have we ever lost to them? I can remember a handful of games in the 80's and 90's that were one-sided in our favor. Maybe if we had lost I would feel differently.

I was okay with Iowa until a guy who lives on the same dorm floor as me who cheers for them totally turned me off to them. Now I can't stand them.

[UGAHusker]

I mean, it's Iowa. They are like the most blah team ever. Who cares?

[sd'sker]

i hate them quite a bit. they are easy to hate. and they are in the big 10 (a conference easy to hate, and over-hyped), so if they win a couple games they are top ten, and there is no easier conference to win. they are the worst for many reasons.

My uncle is a hawkeye and my mom is from iowa. Also a bunch of my friends in undergrad were from iowa and cheered them on and they were cool. Not sure were all the hate comes from. Got no problem with iowa. Hell after wisconsin...there's no other team i'd rather see win the big 10.

I don't hate the Hawkeyes. I have a lot of relatives in Iowa who are fans of that school.

[MNBIGRED]

I go to Iowa State so yes I hate the Hawkeyes generally because of the smack talk I get for going to ISU from their fans, but I will admit their team is way better than the Cyclones

[Back In Black]

when we played iowa the first time way back i think we lossed..hard for me to say that. but i think the serioes is 2-1 favoring us....i hate the hawkeyes and the little 10. i hate hearing iowa fans say how good they are, but i just burn them by saying how lucky they get...honestly there scedule isnt that hard, i have no idea why its rated so high?...i feel bad when iowa wins as much as when Nebraska looses a game...thats how bad i hate them

[BlackShirt1340]

I dislike the Hawkeyes. Garbage team in a garbage conference. They had to block two field goals in a row to beat an FCS school. That says it all.

[adc7236]

I have no hate. Besides the Big XII, I like to see the Midwest teams do well. I met one of the most obnoxious Iowa fans recently when I went back to my home town (he was traveling on business), but that is my only dealings with their fan base, as I no longer live out that way.

if nu was 10-2 you wouldn't tell people how good they are?

 

I call B.S.

 

I think nu is good at 8-3. I bet you do too.

 

If they were 10-2 you'd be bouncing off the rafters.

 

you can't even spell schedule... and you certainly aren't being honest when talking about iowa's.

 

but just to educate you a LITTLE.

 

Iowa has the 20th toughest strength of schedule in college football.

 

wanna know where NU's is??

 

here's the link look it up... from the NCAA website:

 

http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/2009/Internet/tou...9games_cumm.pdf

 

and it's cumulative- a big word for it's recalculated each week to include past and future opponents as the games are played out.

 

fbs and fcs means it counts both in the calculation.

 

yup, iowa had to block two consecutive field goal attempts to avoid overtime vs UNI.

 

Let me say that again for the folks who don't know wtf they are talking about....

 

NOT TO WIN.. but to avoid OT. Iowa was LEADING when they blocked TWO IN A ROW.

 

got it?

 

When was the last time you saw that happen... at ANY level? Two in a frikken row!

 

BTW...

 

That same "lucky" Iowa beat a top 5 Penn St on the road in front of 103,000 fans, michigan st on the road, and a ranked wisconsin on the road.

 

and took ohio state (on the road) to overtime in front of 100,000+ fans with a true freshman qb starting his second game!

 

And even with last year's 4th and 5th string guys at RB, a couple of second string Olinemen, they didn't lose a game until Stanzi went down.

 

they are 10-2 and second in the big ten and waiting for a pretty good bowl.

 

IF they are "lucky" enough to finish in the top 10 NATIONALLY this season, It'll be the fourth time since 2002 that they did it.

 

Iowa stomped a mudhole in the clones a$$.

 

I wish to hell the clones had a team as "lucky" or as good as that one.

 

hate if ya want. but at least know wtf you are talking about.

When I was a freshman at NU, we beat Iowa 57-0, I believe. The next year, while preparing for Iowa in Iowa City, (this was told to me by another student) we were practicing kick-offs and one of our cover guys was offsides, a coach yelled at the guy to pay better attention and someone said "relax coach it's only Iowa." We lost to Iowa, like 10-7. This was before we figured out Turner Gill should be our QB.

 

We beat' em 3 of 4 in that '79-'82 series and then we beat 'em twice during the Crouch era. Other than that I don't know. I could be wrong about the whole thing, I'm not much for research or facts for that matter. Between the Big 12 CG and the bowl, I'll kill some time with more of my famous trivia, where I don't even bother to find the correct answer.

Oh it is an Eastern Nebraska thing especially here in Omaha with the number of Iowa fans that come over here for work. I dislike Iowa with a passion and would love to meet up with them again and pound them into the Earth.
