I'd call it a raving success, actually. I'm fine with NU not having a true rival in the Big Ten at this point. NU came into the conference with teams having existing rivalries, and those things can't be forced. If NU wants to have a rivalry with Wisconsin, NU needs to start beating the Badgers and winning the division. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 What are peoples definition of a rivalry? Im just curious because since Ive been alive people keep saying Nebraska has been forced into rivalries and does not have a true rival. Colorado, Iowa, etc. But most people want one with Wisconsin. Only problem is they kick our butt every year and think of us as some of you think of Iowa and Colorado... 1 Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Funny thing is ... after a couple more beatings by the Hawkeyes this thing probably would be a rivalry. Fact is ... we are irrelevant anymore. Quote Link to comment

I would define a rivalry as a team that you want to beat most in that given year, and it was an opponent built on hatred. When I was a kid, the Oklahoma rivalry was everything to me. Colorado did become a rival for me as OU struggled in the 90s, and NU stopped playing them every year in the Big 12. In the Big Ten, NU doesn't have a main rival. Quote Link to comment
Huskerlambs Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I miss the Big 12. (Truth be told, I miss the Big 8.) We left that conference because Texas was taking over, but we have NO influence in this conference. The special time for the Thanksgiving Weekend has been a cherished tradition in my family for years, but now it's gone. Quote Link to comment

Now, I realize that the Big 8 wouldn't have been able to survive in the current collegiate landscape, but the Big 8 was such a tidy conference, with all the teams close together, and years of history together. 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 We are still playing on Thanksgiving Weekend, folks. It's on Saturday now, not Friday. Personally, I've never found much charm in the Black Friday game, and always thought it was a relief when it was an away game. The logistics of getting to those games on a Friday is difficult some years. Quote Link to comment
