Hawkeye Yellow song LOL


Apathy

Recommended Posts




I just don't get Iowa fans. I've read/heard/seen more hatred spewed from them than from any other fan base and we never even play them.

 

The fact that we haven't played you has caused a lot of that hatred. Consider that over the past decade we feel that we have been as good as Nebraska but since we never were able to prove it in head to head matchups, many (not all) Nebraska fans still hold this air of superiority that just drives us nuts. We recognize that over all of history Nebraska has been the better team - which given that both teams are essentially the same from a location/availability of recruits standpoint also drives us nuts as we know that we were *this close* to having the same kind of success but could just never quite get over the hump.

 

Combine all of that frustration with some Nebraska fans with the natural stupidity that can arise (in both states) from growing up in the middle of corn fields with nothing to do but be a redneck, add in a dash of easy access via the internet and you get some really bizzare things coming to light that even 15 years ago you would never have seen because it would have stayed in the middle of the cornfields.

You'd think they'd be able to find at least one chick in Iowa to shake her ass that didn't have mass amounts of cellulite!! Come on man. That's the best chick you could find that'd shake her ass?! :LOLtartar

Ha. I know a girl that is an exotic dancer and she travels 3 hours north to Iowa to dance because the money is a lot better so apparently there are not any chicks without cellulite up there. :)

You mean your best decade in the last 40 years?

 

Our worst decade in the last 40 years?

 

THIS is why Nebraska Fan does not feel that we are similar. Your best = our worst.

 

Do you really want me to blow your mind? I will think about the statement of "your best = our worst" IF you will think about the statment, but can your worst stay better than our worst? See what I am saying?

 

10 years is a bit of time. If you stop and think about it, you could never say, I am 100% sure next year the Huskers will have a better record than Iowa. Once you figure that out how about in two years? 5? 10? 40? Many B10 fans (not just Iowa) just dont see the Huskers doing so well this year. Next? 5? 10? 40? There is no reason to think you'll ever have a better record than us again.

Once you start to think like that with 5 or 6 other B10 teams besides Nebraska, the more you will find you like the B10 and you will also find the other teams fans to be better hosts. (Ofcourse I am not saying you still dont have to pay attention to what tailgate your walking into or thru, but what I have said goes along way in some circles.)

We all have good teams and we all have high hopes, somebodys got to win and somebodys got to lose. The deal is just about any given year you got, N, Wisky, Iowa, fOSU, Penn, now MIST, and it sounds like MI might be getting ready to START playing ball. Then you have ILL and NU that like to be the hair in the butter. So unless your willing to bet the farm, the whole better than attitude can be checked at the door, otherwise I really advise you to not make any trips to away games.
