huKSer Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Council Bluffs paper If history is any indicator, fans of both teams are in for a treat – especially in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area, where the series originated. The longest contiguous stretch of games between the two teams was 1891-1899, with all but the last one featured on Thanksgiving Day. One year, they even held a grudge match and played again two days later. Good article - three things caught my attention 1 - they played two games in Council Tucky B - Council Tucky has a newspaper 3rd - people in Council Tucky can read Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure the rest of Iowa knows what awaits them as they come west. Gawd awful !!! Quote Link to comment
Husker Z Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 The NU/IU history is pretty interesting if you dive into it. I have that Husker Football Histor coffee table book and it's pretty cool on how things got started with them. It's a cool book, pick it up if you get a chance. Quote Link to comment
Caven Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 When going through the histories I found it interesting that were it not for racial tensions between us and Missouri we likely would have ended up in the Big 8 with you. Quote Link to comment
