Name of Husker vs Hawkeye rivalry?


Recommended Posts

How about the "Johnny Bowl", as in Johnny Carson? Don't both Norfolk, NE and Corning, IA lay claim to his greatness?

 

If anything, we may get a humorous skit out of Dana Carvey (though no Phil Hartman, for obvious reasons) for halftime. :)

Huskers v Meth dealers

 

Now, now, let's not get ugly here.

 

We can just call that the Battle of Lexington vs. Council Bluffs(tucky) instead. ;)

 

Though, for halftime, we could have them set up rival meth labs and have a cookoff at the 50 yard line for the best product. Koch Industries could even sponsor the necessary ammonia, and AMC could advertise the new season of Breaking Bad.

 

Look--a nifty title, two likely sponsors, and plenty of corporate tie-in possibilities. What's not to love? :moreinteresting

I actually think the Farmageddon nickname is going to catch and become a very, very widespread term used by fans and commentators/writers/etc. unofficially. It seems like it's been sticking so far.

 

Iowa is not really an Ag school, and this name is what K-State / Iowa State use...

Oh hell yeah :) You should have heard the ^&*ing about the Insight when we were convinced it was going to be Nebraska we played only to end up with Missouri. Iowa fans have wanted a shot at Nebraska since about 2002 since the last time we played was during the transition period between Fry and Ferentz when we forgot how to play for a couple of years.

 

Couple of years? Iowa has only beaten Nebraska once in my lifetime, by three points in 1981. Other than that Nebraska has pretty much dominated in the modern era (however you want to define that). Overall we're 26-12-2 against Iowa, with a +253 point margin. In the last 50 years we've beaten you guys 5-1 with an average margin of victory of 26 points.

 

 

Even before reading this post. I was thinkin' "NU vs. ISU-THE SEQUEL"
