Name of Husker vs Hawkeye rivalry?

Walk-on
First off, let me premise by saying that I understand that rivalries don't need catchy names - Nebraska vs. Oklahoma survived for quite sometime without having an official title, whereas the OU vs. UT was dubbed the "Red River Rivalry." Having said that, I am a pretty dedicated Nebraska fan that lives in Iowa, therefore have many friends/family that are Hawkeye fans - thus, this new match-up excites me. Anyways, getting back on topic, I'd like to give the rivalry a title - not caring if it ever becomes "mainstream" or not, that's not the point. I am trying to think of something that's possibly funny and could incorporate some of the geographic similarities of the two states as well (but not necessary). I have heard of "Farmageddon," "The Corn-Hawk Rivalry," and "The CornBelt" among a few other names, but I just haven't heard "it" yet. If there are any creative minds on the board, and would be willing to share, I'd appreciate your input. It could be something off-the-wall as well...

GBR!

"Farmaggedon" is pretty good. We could also do "Border War," though I believe that's been used. How about the "Corn Cob Clash,"* as a play on "Red River Rivalry." Otherwise, we could play with something like the "Husker-'Hawk Showdown." Or maybe, "Farm Town Showdown."

*Patent pending.

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.

 
The "Nebraska puts up with far too much crap from a fan base that hasn't really accomplished much in the last four plus decades"....bowl.

I think you're probably right... Of course, that means we're going to have to pry it away from one of the greatest rivalries college football has ever seen...

Bah. That game involves Iowa State. If Iowa/Nebraska start using Farmageddon it won't matter that they used it first - it will stick to our game :)

Nice find Hercules! That actually makes a lot of sense considering they're both AG schools...I am shocked I hadn't heard it on ESPN though. :lol:
