That is what happens when you fire the guy who consistantly gets you 20+ wins and an annual trip to the big dance but only comes in 2-4 in the conference and never wins it. You end up sucking even worse

Iowa: all of the problems of a big time college football program, none of the championships.

[the ghost of pat ricketts]

Ok So since the begining of the Bcs in 98 lets take a look. Because and I quote "Before the BCS, things were fuzzier. The mythical "National Champion" was ... well, mythical. There was no one organization to crown college football's national champion. Instead, there were multiple polls [primarily AP (press) and UPI/ESPN/USA Today (coaches)]. And, each poll would simply vote at the end of the year and name its #1 team."

 

So now we have what the NC, Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, and Orange

98 NU Orange W

00 NU Fiesta W

02 Rose L

 

02 IA Orange L

09 IA Orange W

By that Nu has been to one more Bcs bowl with a 2 to 1 record

Iowa has been to 2 with a 1 to 1 record

Not alot of bragging rights by either team if you ask me, but wait lets dig some more

 

NU against B10 in bowls

86 NU vs Mich L

00 NU vs Northwestern W

03 Nu vs Mich ST W

05 NU vs Mich W

Record 3 to 1

 

IA against B12 in bowls

84 IA vs TEX W

96 IA vs TEX Tech W

01 IA vs Tex Tech W

06 IA vs Tex L

10 IA vs Missery W

Record 4 to 1

 

Whats it all mean, who cares lets play ball and hope it's a good game!

I wonder why you would pick 1998? It seems like such an arbitrary year. Hmmm.

 

You're going to have to try a little harder. What you've done here is painfully transparent.

 

Wasnt it 98 when the current bcs started? Also I love IA beats TX and Tex T 3 out of 4 of those, arent they like NU's kryptonite?

 

kinda like how Northwestern is Iowa's Kryptonite? At least Ttech and the WHORnes have a winning record when they beat Nebraska, this year notwithstanding.

You guys are funny. Iowa and Nebraska were fairly equal in 2010. Nebraska was blessed with a cream puff schedule hence the inflated record. The difference being Iowa actually won their bowl game against a much better team.

that nebraska beat 31 to 17

I can say the same thing about Iowa State buddy. Nice try.

How's Floyd of Rosedale doing....oh right i should go ask a gopher.

How's that Holiday Bowl trophy that you had a month to prepare for? Oh I'll ask UW. How's that revenge tasting against Texas? Oh wait that didn't happen either. I'm not making excuses for Iowa, they lost the games they lost because they did not execute when they needed to and plain gave up at the end of the season. If I were a Nebraska fan I would blame the refs and some conspiracy theory for every loss Iowa has.

 

Hey Hawknut. Try not to make all of us Iowa fans look bad in your first day here. Please remember that this is THEIR board and we are just visitors. THEY are the ones that get to be cocky and brash here in response to slights - real or perceived - against their team. If you want to trash Nebraska, do it on our boards.

 

Just as there are many Hawk fans who think that Iowa is going to roll over Nebraska year in and year out, there are many Nebraska fans that think the same thing in reverse. The Iowa fans do their bragging on our boards and the Nebraska fans do their bragging here. Nothing anyone says will change either groups opinion as to what is going to happen until such time as the teams start playing every year on the field. If you are truly wanting a conversation about each teams strengths and weaknesses and how the game might play out, make your post and then (and I can't stress this enough) IGNORE all of the "chest thumping we are better than you and it won't be a game" posts and simply carry on conversations in thread with those people who are actually contributing to the discussion.

 

eta: There are many good people here and if you are truly here for conversation and not just to troll it is really easy to figure out who to talk with and who to just let roll off your back.

 

I agree, they are very football knowledgeable over here and have a good sence of humor as well, so dont be making them hate us Iowa fans, let them hate me for being me.

 

you forgot how we spell over here. Its "Nowledge" as the old saying goes.....DERP
