But, to say it's not a rivalry because we've lost so many against them doesn't hold up when looking at other major rivalries. I think what makes this at least in the discussion of rivalry is the way the games are. Always close and always seem to come down to the last possession. I think I've seen more people say Wisconsin is more of a rival and we haven't beat them in a while and they kicked the ever living crap out of us a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe at the current time, but there were wins on both sides at one time to create the rivalry if you look back. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any rivalry that is one sided the entire time.

BigRedBuster Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Iowa has a 46-22 lead over ISU with a 6 game losing streak for ISU. I'm pretty sure that's a rivalry. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty sure that's a rivalry. You're both still ignoring what I said. The point was a rivalry where one side always won, and there never was a stretch where the other team didn't win. In every one you pointed out there have been times where the losing school won games to create the rivalry. That's literally how it gets started. 1 Quote Link to comment

No, the idea is that Iowa isn't our rival because we haven't beaten them in 7 years. I said there are rivalries that are lopsided. You said, 3 hours ago, runningblind said: Maybe at the current time, but there were wins on both sides at one time to create the rivalry if you look back. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any rivalry that is one sided the entire time. So, I pointed out that Nebraska Iowa historical record is actually Nebraska 29-20-3. Which, would indicate that your statement would allow Nebraska Iowa to be a rivalry. Mavric just added to that. Quote Link to comment

Lorewarn Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Other rivalries that are lopsided are still rivalries not because of the competitive balance but because of a long shared history, usually in-state. We don't have that, so that's when you move onto new defining criteria, such as animosity and competitive balance. Quote Link to comment
Gage County Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I look forward to the UCLA rivalry and playing in the Rose Bowel on Black Friday. 2 Quote Link to comment

So, long term we have some competitive balance. There is animosity between the states. Quote Link to comment

I don't think that really counts for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment
