B1G 2011 // Keeping the Enemy Close: At the end of the day, it's still Iowa.

PrintHoly smokes, look at this. It's Iowa week and most of B1G country doesn't care.
Seems reasonable.
It's almost like some kind of utopia for a guy like me... a Gopher fan. Everyone only wants to talk about what's going on at OSU. In reality, it's pretty perfect.
I mean, let's be honest, of all the teams in the B1G who has a bigger inferiority complex than Iowa? Every Hawkeye fan is constantly preoccupied with wondering what fan of some other B1G team is going to figure out a way to make them feel inferior. Don't tell me I'm wrong: I work with these people. And once they feel inferior they will venomously scream and shout about it.
It's quite apropos. Here we are with Iowa week being preempted by something else more important in the conference... one more piece of the inferiority puzzle.
What's fantastic about this week... or wait, I guess the same could be said about last week, because LAST week was really supposed to be Iowa week here at OTE... is that somehow, inexplicably, the B1G figured out another way to preempt the Hawkeyes. Even in the off-season.
There we were, ready to jump into Hawkeye week, and then suddenly Ohio State was the center of attention.
What a shame.
For a Gopher fan it was an amazing dose of poetic justice. For a Hawkeye fan... more realization that you're playing second fiddle to the flavor-of-the-week.
Iowa fans are going to sit back and say "yeah, but we're still better than Minnesota." And that's fine, except, oh... wait, where is Floyd of Rosedale right now? Guess what Iowa... yep, we're going to rub it it in while we can. Floyd is in Minneapolis. What is he doing? Duh, WINNING.
And what are YOU doing? Hating us.
And honestly, this isn't about Minnesota vs. Iowa. This is about how Hawkeye fans hate everyone because they literally have no idea what else to do in life.
Did anyone happen to notice that in yesterday's OTE Potluck there was a course missing? Each week there has been 5 courses: Appetizer, Salad, Potato/Rice, Hot Dish, and Dessert. Did anyone make notice of the fact that there was no Potato/Rice dish? Did anyone find that concerning? Weird. Why would that happen?
Here was the question that was posed to the writers of OTE... a question that nobody answered:
In Hilary's B1G Social Network poll we learned that Iowa fans harbor ill-will toward 9 of the other 11 B1G schools. Only Michigan State and Penn State were immune from Hawk-ire. For such a small population state, that's quite a bit of hatred to throw around (not to mention the ADD of no concentration of hatred). Why does Iowa have such poor feelings toward pretty much everybody else? - or - To put it another way... why are Iowa fans such pricks?
Nobody was willing to discuss why Iowa fans harbor so much hate. Nobody was willing to say why Hawkeye fans spew venom and hatred at almost everyone else in the conference.
Do you know why?
Because there is no rational explanation. The only response is that you are hated because you are not Iowa. You are hated because you have something, anything, (fill in the blank), that Iowa doesn't have. Iowa fans hate you because you have more national titles. Iowa fans hate you because you have beaten them consistently. Iowa fans hate you because you have a larger population to draw fans from. Iowa fans hate you because... they have nothing better to do.
And there it is. At the end of the day, Hawkeye fans are fantastic when it comes to the loyalty they show their team.
But when it comes to how they react to everyone else, they have nothing to do but scramble because the inferiority complex that they have toward the rest of the B1G absolutely exists.
So here you go Hawkeye fans... bring the venom. Tell me how horrible I am. Tell me how bad Minnesota sucks. Tell me about how the Metrodome was "Kinnick North." Bring every piece of hatred you have for Minnesota, for Northwestern, for Wisconsin... for everyone else in the B1G.
But let's remember something. When it's all said and done... we're still talking about Iowa.

Pro Sports
they lost a basketball team to LA, a hockey team to Dallas and have spent the last 15 years wondering if they Vikings are going to leave. And that drama is far from over
And this is soooo far off topic. Of those 5 teams, either the Rams or Jags seem most likely but still, LA had two teams, they both left. How much fan support can there be when both of your teams leave..

Clever approach to show 'hate'
Can’t figure out why Iowa had more varied responses than other teams? More respondents provide wider range of answers. Comical that Iowa fans are labeled with an inferiority complex when the gooophers will break out a ‘who hates Iowa?’ anytime anywhere. Iowa has no such tendency. Funny how jNWho deems Iowa inferior when in fact Iowa is the only oppenent jNWho actually wants to beat. Interesting that Iowa has the inferiority complex but this author states my fanbase ‘has… nothing better to do’. Sounds like an outdated attempt to grasp at stereotypes. Many Iowa fans that partook in OTE’s scientific professional from the rumble seat survey, live across the USA.
Also, I dispute that Iowa hates Wisconsin.
Fact of the matter is true Iowan Hawkeye fans are the envy of the B1G. We run a clean program, win more than we lose and have a nice bowl win streak. If you are a real B1G fan, diss Iowa and you diss yourself.

This is the absolute, 100% truth and not meant to diminish the topic.
I’ve been a Hawkeye since birth (1980) and have never once felt “hate” towards Minnesota. Even when they’ve been better, which is not common, I’ve never been able to muster anything beyond mild irritation. If not for OMHR, who doesn’t have the benefit of having a state name in their title, Minnesota would surely be the B1G school people from outside of the region forgot was member. Honestly, they’re just forgettable.

Agreed.
As an Iowa fan, I really do not hate Minnesota. Minnesota hates me and they get the two confused. Same goes for jNW. The team I guess I ‘hate’ the most is OSU, but I don’t go screaming about it.
Oh, and the whole ‘Iowa fans have nothing better to do’ is partially true. Being one of 2 teams in the B1G without a professional team in the state really makes for a passionate fan base. Although, we don’t hate as much as you say. You just say we do.

It really depends on where you're at
I lived in western Iowa for about 7 years and I can tell that Nebraska sucks balls and I’m excited to kick their ass this fall. I’m so glad their in the B1G so that now I can say that I hate them all I want.
I guess I used to hate tOSU, but I’ve learned to cope recently thanks to TP and his gang o’ poo. I’ve heard NE IA has plenty of issues with Wiscy, but i don’t know anyone personally that has an issue with them. I could care less about the rest. It’s annoying as shit that jNW has owned us recently, but it helps that we’ve owned PSU lately too so it all evens out
Skol!
I have nothing against Iowa
But dagummit, that’s quality hate. Well done.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Since when does Minnesota qualify as everyone?
Only B1G school I really hate since they are the only ones who are no fun when you visit.

What exactly qualifies as "squeaky clean"?
Obviously, OSU and their ineligible players/tats for gear scheme doesn’t qualify but I seem to remember most B1G schools have had players with run-ins with Johnny Law over the years.

Iowa is one of 4 Big Ten schools to have never faced NCAA probation.
Along with Penn State, Northwestern, and Purdue.
Illinois has had five separate probation periods, Wisconsin 4, Michigan State 3, Indiana 2, Minnesota 2, Ohio State 2 (soon to be 3), Michigan 1, Nebraska 1.

So there’s one measurement. Yes, every team has some players who have gotten arrested for drinking, drugs, etc. Just like every college has students who have been arrested for drinking, drugs, etc.
Or just cited
which some people think is the same as being arrested, but they’d be wrong.

I'm talking about college students being college students
And about how there are four Big Ten football teams who have never been found to be cheating to the extent that the NCAA put them on probation.
Personally, I’ve not really commented on the Ohio State situation. If you want my opinion, I think “everybody’s doing it” is an acceptable defense when it comes to some players getting under-the-table benefits. I don’t think it’s acceptable when it comes to head coaches lying, which I don’t think happens everywhere. (Some coaches may turn a blind eye, but I’d at least like to think that most coaches would do the right thing when presented with hard evidence that their players are cheating.) The former is a problem with the NCAA system and the incentives both for boosters to provide benefits and for players to take them. The latter is the reason the Ohio State situation is blowing up to the level it is. (Prior to all of this happening, I didn’t especially like Tressel—mainly because he beat Iowa so many times—but I respected him. Now I don’t like him or respect him.)
Here's the difference
There is run of the mill off-field trouble within a program on one hand, and something that actually affects competitive balance between teams on the other.
A team that plays by all the compliance rules but has some discipline issues can run a squeaky clean program (provided that they actually discipline those players in a way commensurate with their offense). A team that provides benefits, manipulates eligibility or recruits illegally is not running a clean program.

If you use ineligible players, it doesn’t mean that the game never happened. It doesn’t mean that if you lost, you get to say it didn’t count. It means that if you cheated, won, and were adjudicated to have cheated in order to win, then you don’t get the satisfaction of claiming the tainted win.

Most Hawkeye fans I know don’t hate that many schools. Minnesota we hate, obviously. jNWU has been annoying for far too long. And it’s been a while since Michigan has been good, so that hate is wearing off. But Indiana and Purdue we don’t really care about (no, wait, PURDUE IS OUR MOST-HATED RIVAL). We tend to regard Ohio St. with a grudging respect (although that could be going out the window right now). Penn St., Michigan St., and Wisconsin we kind of like, due to their similarities to our program (the way they’re run, not history or tradition or anything, as we definitely can’t compare to PSU in that regard). Illinois is just Illinois—whatever. And Nebraska? Well, we do kind of hate them already, due to the large number of Iowa and Nebraska fans in the west that constantly bump heads.

Both of these schools in basketball have won direct recruiting battles over the Hawks. Football we get the pick usually. Kind of funny because the way Iowa develops Chicago land recruits it’s like jNWho is instate too. Huskers as well basically.

Hmm..
I’m starting to think that people are getting confused with who hates who… because I honestly don’t think Iowa fans hate Minnesota more than Minnesota hates Iowa… and it seems that there is more hatred of Iowa fans than the Iowa fans’ hatred. Just because we come in large numbers doesn’t mean we hate.
Or not.
I don’t know.

Is everyone hates each other. I dated some OSU fan a few months back, and she would tell me about how everyone hates everyone and blah blah blah.
I just couldn’t picture it because outside of hating oklahoma, and outright hoping that Texas gets hit by every massive natural disaster simultaneously, I don’t really hate any other teams much. Sure colorado fan is annoying, but I never found myself hating aTm, or Okie St.

The Colorado rivalry was forced on us by Preacher Bill McCartney and the ABC suits. Matt Parker and Trey Stone demonstrate typical Colorado-to-Nebraska behavior.
All the other Big 12 North schools thought that beating Nebraska once (or even more than one) made them rivals. Nebraska and Oklahoma were rivals for the same reason Michigan and Ohio State were – because that game determined who won the conference.
That’s our standard for “who rivals are.”

My statement didn’t have anything to do with general college football history. Yours on the other hand showed a lack of knowledge about how the conference alignment will work.

Ok.
Let’s disregard the intended message and play by your rules this time. Nebraska is pretty unlikely to lose ALL of the following this season: Iowa, Michigan, Penn St. We may lose one, but we won’t lose all three, or even two of those, as the other loss would likely come by Wisconsin if at all.
So if Nebraska doesn’t end up losing those games, we’re even less likely to lose against a stretch of middle of the pack teams.
Use this as rule of thumb in the long run: games you wouldn’t expect ohio state to lose, don’t expect Nebraska to lose.
by Fake Pelini on Jun 10, 2011 9:49 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Have you any actual reasoning to defend that last statement?
Ohio State has proven their quality against B1G opponents. Nebraska is a complete unknown, and is coming for a conference that isn’t quite known for its defense. To assume that Nebraska is going to run over the B1G does nothing but show how arrogant Nebraska fans are. What will you say when Nebraska finishes third in its own division?
by The Mexican't on Jun 10, 2011 10:48 PM CDT up reply actions
I do.
You guys just aren’t understanding what I’m saying. I hope we go undefeated this season; however I understand that’s unlikely.
What I’ve been saying this whole time is that it’s pretty unreasonable to expect a traditionally good program, regardless of who they are, to lose 2-3 games annually to relatively bad teams.
That would essentially mean that a good program, would have 5-6 losses annually when you throw in the good teams in said conference. I’m sorry, this just isn’t happening, Pelini would go the way of Callaghan and RichRod if it did happen.
Nebraska might lose 2-3 games annually, but most years only 1(if any) would come at the hands of your mediocre team while 2 or 3 would likely by ohio state or penn st (or whoever is up that year)
44 losses over the last 9 years
So yeah I’d say that sounds about right.
yeah
this has been one of two horribly long stretches of down years nebraska has had. That’s the thing, even in our down years we whooped northwestern and mich st and beat michigan.
This entire past decade, Nebraska has been down. We’re coming back though, watch out for that.
by Fake Pelini on Jun 11, 2011 10:37 AM CDT up reply actions
This is me looking down at you....but I am watching
In all seriousness though, we’re not so ridiculous to think that Nebraska is going to get its ass straight handed to them this year or going forward. This thread got turned into a shit-talking marathon pretty quickly, but the point we’re trying to make is that like any other conference, the B1G is quite a bit different from the BXII. I actually think that Nebraska will dominate jNW and Indianas of the B1G because of their practice against the spread in the BXII. Wis, tOSU, MSU and Iowa’s of the B1G play a different type of football from the B1G so we’ll see how UNL adjusts to that.
Skol!
Everyone knows that Nebraska is a historically great program.
That doesn’t mean they’re a great program now. Nebraska may very well become the West Division OSU, but I’m not willing to say that “they’re coming back.” Norte Dame has been returning to glory for 40 years. Nebraska is better than Notre Dame, but they may not be a perennial 10-win team after joining the B1G.
I will agree, though, that they’re likely to win 8 or 9 games in most years.
by The Mexican't on Jun 11, 2011 3:19 PM CDT up reply actions
Wow I missed this gem
I am now convinced you must be a troll, or possibly insane. In the last 9 years, OSU has lost 11 conference games, less than 1/3 of the 35 conference losses for Nebraska, which would put Nebraska at 6th in the Big Ten, just ahead of MSU and Northwestern.
Use this as a rule of thumb: games you don’t expect MSU to win, don’t expect Nebraska to win.
You are also looking at the worst period in Nebraska football in the last 50 years.
Those of us more familiar with our history expect (or hope, whatever) us to rise back to historical norms.

You act like Nebraska is on a 6-4 run against Colorado, an 8-5 against Kansas State, a 4-4 run against Missouri, a 4-2 run against Kansas, an 0-4 run against Texas Tech, a 6-3 run against Iowa State, just lost the worst Texas team this millennium, and has won a conference title less recently than Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa, Colorado and Kansas State.
I can’t fathom why you would say that Nebraska would ever lose a game to lesser peons like that, or ever go more than a decade without a single conference title. Nebraska beats those inferior programs every single year and wins the conference title almost every year.
Do you somehow think that Nebraska could have only 5 winning conference records over the last 9 years? Do you even know what football is??

Alabama
Arkansas
Baylor
Colorado
Iowa State
Kansas State
Ohio State
Oklahoma

The one thing that always bothered me about the Big 12
Is that just by virtue of being LESS bad, one or two teams would always emerge out of the North with 1 or 2 losses and a spot in the BCS top 15. It would happen that all of their wins were against the detritus of the B12 North, maybe a lower-tier BCS school or two, Baylor and maybe Texas Tech or OK State in a down year.
Then when they’d lose to Oklahoma or Texas in the B12 CCG, it would count as a big win and those schools would get vaulted up the BCS rankings. It was maddening. I’m glad that conference is dying a slow death for the mirage of quality that many apparently believed in.

Anyway, I understand what you’re saying. I understand what everybody here is saying, all I’m saying is there’s a tendency for traditionally good programs to come back up from the down years.
Nebraska specifically has the tendency to be down longer than most programs when it gets down, as it did for almost 20 years from the 40s – 60s, and again after osborne retired and nebraska started playing more northwestern-like, it’s been now over 10 years, and since 08 pelini has been steadily bringing us back up to where we like to be.

It's really pretty funny to read a Goopher fan's ramblings about irrational hate.
I lived just shouth of the twin cities for three years. Hardly a week went by when you didn’t hear one of the locals talk about how much they hated Iowa, or how stupid Iowa was, or whatever. They were obsessed with it. Very stange. It’s not like I told them I was from Iowa and that started it either, they would just talk about it to each other. That, is a true inferiority complex.
So go ahead and talk about how hard your winters are while enjoying the Vikings play in their dome and ignoring that there is an ENTIRE COUNTRY to the north of you. Enjoy the Goophers in their stadium that they couldn’t fund so they had to sell the name to a bank that at one point had such a bad reputation stores in Minneapolis refused to take checks from it. Just don’t forget that while your obsessing on your hatred of Iowa, we spend about 51 weeks a year not giving a fuck about you.

What do canadians call canadian bacon?
What we normals call bacon is bacon, and what we call Canadian bacon is that kind of hammish thing. Do they call regular bacon by bacon, or do they refer to Canadian bacon as just Bacon? And if so, what do they call regular bacon? American bacon? Something else?
Any Minnesotans here to let us know?
As a Canadian living in Minnesota...
Canadian bacon is called back bacon. Bacon is just bacon. And it is delicious.

You say hotdish I say casserole... let's call the whole thing off.
According to Wikipedia:
“Hotdish is a variety of baked casserole that typically contains a starch, a meat or other protein, and a canned and/ or frozen vegetable, mixed together with canned soup.1 The dish is popular in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.[citation needed]According to food writer Hallie Harron, “You need a starch (grains, noodles or potatoes … anything but rice), some sort of protein (beans, tofu, etc.), some liquid to moisten everything, and last, a crust or topping to make it crispy and golden brown.”1 The soup is often cream of mushroom, which serves as a binding ingredient."

@jdmill
If the food that describes
were the only thing they called hot dish, I would concede. But it’s not. Anytime a MN’n throws about 4 different ingrediants in the same dish, one of them usually being elbow macaroni, they call it hot dish.
To be fair, Michelle G. from Lakeville makes one that is delicious. Her husband’s favorite food is pork roast. Also delicious. And from Iowa.
See, you guys don’t really have anything you can call your own, so you just changed the name on casserole and pretended that was good enough.

A little off topic...
When I was at the University of Iowa, I had a friend from Wisconsin. He always said that people in Wisconsin don’t have an accent. Then we took a road trip with him, and shortly after crossing the border into Wisconsin, we stopped at a McDonalds. While standing at the counter inside, we could hear an order come through from the drive through: “Yeah, I’ll have a Cooke. Make it a large, eh?”
Yeah, they most certainly do have an accent

Iowans calling Nebraskans rural or Illini calling Iowans rural or Wisconsinites calling Minnesotans rural …..etc…..is like pointing at the other kids on the short bus and calling them the “R” word. The pot and the kettle are both oh so black that it just comes across as stupid. We all live in states where live stock outnumber humans by a factor of 10 to 1. It is part of our combined country charm. If people are so caught up on being more urban than others, I suggest you look into cheering for Columbia or Georgetown.

I wasn't commenting
on the ratio of rural to urban population of either state. I was commenting on the fact that driving through Nebraska after Lincoln is pretty horrible. Likening that to calling kids with unfortunate disabilities the “R” word is stretching context to a breaking point.

If you havent made the drive across I-80 then maybe you don’t understand what it is I am talking about and throwing your two cents into the argument comes across as, well, stupid.

How Predictable
The hate column from a Minnesota fan is bland, lazy, and uninspiring. Sounds about right. If only it were somehow a lot wider then a normal column then everything would be in order.
But lets play into JD’s theme to tie everything together.
Michigan got a solid reminder that tOSU hates them, while tOSU probably wishes these weeks ran in reverse order at this point.
Penn State heard from the new guy, and we got a nice breakdown of how they screwed them over for a title in the (slightly) pre-BCS era.
Nobody cared enough to write one about Illinois. Which makes sense because anyone who cared enough to write one would dislike Illinois football more than Illinois likes its football.
Purdue vs Indiana. Sure why not.
Northwestern gets a double down on last years column that contains some ingenious/demented possible fiction.
Minnesota even got a pity party from your northern peers (no not North Dakota, Wisconsin).
And then this is all we get. Great.

nebraska’s actually been voted #1 in a number of polls well before 1970.
but unlike some teams(hint hint, Michigan and if any ND fans are around) we don’t claim titles from when princeton was a legitimate football competitor.
Iowa Hawkeye fans nor the program claim the 1958 FWAA title has much significance.
But we do flaunt the 2010 Insight Bowl Championship!

that's why I didn't mention iowa fans
living in Omaha, i know plenty of iowa fans and they don’t claim some obscure poll from when truman was president, so I know you won’t claim that. Michigan though, a good portion of their titles came from before Oklahoma became a state, and yale and princeton were constantly in the running for a title.
Just a note for Nebraska
Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993, following 2 National Championships in the prior 11 years. Though there are different causes than just the level of competition in the Big Ten, we’ve found it harder to consistently compete for the conference/BCS bowls/MNC.
It’s a good conference. The main difference that I see is that there’s a very large and viable “middle class.” Most years there will only be 2-3 legit BCS contenders in the conference, but there will be another 5-6 teams that you will have to play well to beat. You’ll win a few championships when your team is good. You’ll have a few 7-5 years when you could have gone 10-2 or 9-3. But you’ll never only have 2 games a year that matter. Never.

Well said.
In the 15 years the Big 12 has been a conference, only 7 teams have played in the championship game. PLAYED. Only 6 have won it. That means 5 of the teams have never had enough success to challenge. In 15 years in the B1G, we have had 9 of our 11 teams share the B1G title (Minny and Indiana sadface). Our ‘middle’ is stronger. They compete for the title every year. The Big 12? It’s Okey, Texas, or Nebraska. That’s it.
In 2004 and 2005, Colorado won the Big 12 north with a 4-4 and 5-3 conference record. I don’t care what you say. There is no chance the Leaders division will have a champion with a .500 or one win better conference record. It will be 0-2 losses. The division Nebraska is playing in is not the Big 12 North. It’s the B1G Leaders. And it’s a lot better than Nebraska fans think.

I said Legends in my head, my fingers typed Leaders. Damn you divisions.
"There is nothing better than being American. If you don't love it, leave it. U.S.A. #1"- Ricky Stanzi, America's Quarterback
I agree
The big ten has a far more balanced division structure than the big 12. However, the conference championship game is a challenge big ten teams are just not used to and are going to find it tough to get past.
Especially with as upset-prone as the big ten is, you’ll see A LOT of top 5 teams go to the CC game against either another great team which they didn’t play because of scheduling, or a rematch with a great team they did play, and many times you’ll see this team with national title hopes just crash and burn.
But with a stronger middle...
The other team in the CC game will probably be of the same caliber. Ex.: Michigan St., Wisconsin, OSU 2010; Iowa, OSU 2009 etc.
The Big 12 had at least 2 teams in the division to never reach the CC game: Baylor/Texas Tech, Iowa State/Kansas.
The B1G in that same time period has had 5/6 teams in each division share a B1G title. That shows that each team is probably stronger and is worthy of the CC whether they were the favorite or not.
"There is nothing better than being American. If you don't love it, leave it. U.S.A. #1"- Ricky Stanzi, America's Quarterback
Again. Sharing a title, and playing for a title are two entirely different animals.
Beginning with the fact that 3 teams can share a title. Not only that but 2010 is an extremely poor example of taking middle of the pack teams as conference champions (see Alabama, TCU, and cheating to be able to win a close game against Arkansas.)
That's just because no one's awarded them to you
If they had, I’m quite certain Nebraska would be claiming. It is not virtue to deny something that’s never been offered to you.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
That's like, just your opinion, man.
History is great to learn from but living in the now I’ll take Iowa’s current situation over either OSU or UNL.

Actually, the backup had one good game (still a loss),
and one bad game (also a loss). But the Hawks still scored more than 7 points each time.

That is not even remotely what I said.
You are trying to use what UNL has done in the Big12 as an indicator of what they will be able to do in the Big10. I am saying this is baseless as certain teams in the two conferences have similarities but are not the same. Playing against teams that put an emphasis on defense, granted some more than others, week in week out will be different.
You must be able to admit that UNL has a whole new set of teams to learn and that there will be some growing pains in doing so. Game planning for KU is different than 2011 game planning for IU. It will be the first time the two teams have played since 1978, unlike KU who UNL has played yearly. There aren’t just four non-conference teams to prepare for this year there are 12 total teams. That will take it’s toll.

No seriously though, this is just the off season and I’ve just grown tired of the argument that the big ten is so much better than the big 12 and Nebraska is going to go winless because Illinois went to a bowl and beat Baylor.
On any given fall saturday though, if you’re in Lincoln, NE wearing the opposite colors, we’re actually very hospitable. Yeah we have our occasional drunk douchebag, but there really is a reason we’re known as the best college football fans in the nation.
Even last year for Texas’ game, before the game, in town, the atmosphere was very much hostile (not physically,) but after the game, with as horribly a nightmare as that game was, we still partied with texas fans without a problem.
Holy crap! Once again, I didn't say the Big10 was better than the Big12.
Show me where I said that.
I said there are 12 teams to prepare for not 4. I compared two teams that are not known for their football program w/o saying one is better than the other. I said the type of play, defense oriented, will be different. Nowhere in my comment did I say one conference is better than the other.

No not you specifically.
But it’s been the theme of anything written on the huskers ever since the off season, is all.
It's not so much the B1G saying they are better than the Big 12...
Than it is you Nebraska fans saying your schedule won’t be any harder, if not easier, than it was in the Big 12. If you think you can get away with that on a B1G blog, then you are mistaken. The fact is, the B1G is more competitive than the Big 12 and our middle is much stronger. We aren’t the SEC, but I can almost bet you will experience at least one more upset a year than you had in the Big 12.
And personally, I have had no problems with Nebraska fans. You are a little difficult, but this is fucking college football; of course we will disagree. I’m not going to lie. As an Iowa fan, I’m scared shitless to have to travel to Lincoln in what could be the division championship game on a Friday against one of the craziest crowds in college football. And I have a ton of respect for Nebraska. Just not when they think they are all-mighty.

Yeah, Albino Tornado has a greeeeat point.
Nebraska beat us BAD last time we played them.
But considering we averaged just over 2 wins per season during that 3 year stretch and Nebraska was averaging over 11 wins, that argument is completely invalid.
In fact, I find it hilarious that you brought that statistic up. Because current statistics will always beat your statistics.
Like:
-Kirk Ferentz has a better win % than Pelini since 2008
-Iowa has a 3-0 record in bowl games since 2008, while Nebraska has a respectable 2-1 record
-Iowa made a BSC bowl appearance and upset their opponent to go 1-0 in BCS games in this span. Nebraska didn’t make a BCS bowl appearance.
-A 7-5 Iowa team beat a 10-2 Mizzou team ranked 12th in the nation in their bowl game this year, while 10-3 Nebraska (#17 nationally) got upset by a 6-6 Washington team.
So bring back all the memories of that game in 2000, but remember, this is 2011. It was a forgettable game for Iowans and memorable one for Nebraskans, but it holds no weight.

Unlike Gookin, I do believe that game counts (Penn State fans love to use this rationale for the Iowa wins in the early 00’s), but I agree with him that it should be taken contextually.
When I was a freshman at Iowa the Hawks basketball team knocked off Kansas in Phog Allen to give KU their first nonconference home loss in years. The kids in my dorm went apeshit and the local papers ran triumphant headlines. Then Kansas ended up having a pretty mediocre season by anyone’s standards. Yes, it was a fun victory, but in hindsight it wasn’t nearly as impressive. The nice thing about this game being the last of the regular season is that we’ll know exactly who the two teams are at gametime.

Sure, context is important.
Nebraska was also playing Cody Green at QB, who was our third string QB – as I’ve mentioned previously. (Zac Lee was the second best on the team, but had an elbow injury that was, shall we say, underreported.) The Iowa State game was in no small part, an Uncle Miltie game; Bo wasn’t going to pull out more than he needed to to win. Did he nearly fuck around too much and lose? You bet. But winning is winning. Iowa State is your little brother / rival depending on who you ask, not ours.

UNL’s one-point, interception-on-a-fake-PAT-in-OT-win over Iowa State is a case of master-conservatism on the part of BP and is essentially the same performance that Iowa had against said team (28 pt. win).

Fine. Excuses I will make:
Iowa averaged 2.3 wins ’98’00 while Nebraska averaged 10.3.
-Iowa came into the game with an 0-3 record. Nebraska came in 3-0 ranked #1 in the nation.
-Iowa allowed an average of 30 ppg in that stretch: Allowing 42 against a top-10 Nebraska was acceptable.
-The last time Iowa’s offense was ever shut out was that 2000 season.
-Iowa went 0-6 against all of the Big 12 during that stretch.
-Nebraska average spot in the polls in that stretch? 5th
So brag all you want about that win IN Lincoln, but it really doesn’t offend any Hawkeye fan. The Cyclones had a closer game against you than we did.
A game 11 years ago definitely happened and is worth mentioning when the game rolls around, but a lot of time has passed since then. Nebraska hit a downturn almost immediately after 2000 while Iowa soared. The tables turned. I would say Iowa and Nebraska are about as even as you can make them.
I’m not making excuses about that game. But it seemed as if when you ‘bring up that game back in 2000,’ it’s a threat. I’m telling you it’s a fun piece of history that has no relevance today.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure.
Iowa did have a really, really rough stretch prior to Hayden’s arrival in IC and I thought that was what you were referring to. We are talking 19 non-winning seasons in a row rough. Yay for the 1950s.
Look, I’m not a big fan of making excuses, I’m not a KU basketball fan, but I don’t really think Gookin was making any in his post. Your context reply to Kyle, however, was full of them.

Iowa has been spanked 4 out of the last 6 times we've played jN-L.
We lost one close game, and won one close game.
We hope and plan on making this series much more interesting.
We don’t think Nebraska’s history (especially that before the last 10 years) has much to do with this coming year.
I think a 1995 national title is worth 40,000 Stanley nickles, which in turn is worth 1800 blog-bucks. But none of this translates into wins on the field in 2011.

In what alternate reality do reside
in which Nebraska is some sort of cultural mecca?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Yeah, we've got a zoo! And a ballfield! And we don't flood every year!

All I can say
is that after this epic thread, I can’t wait for the opne weekend game threads.
This is freakin’ sweet.

I'll probably be busy tormenting Iowa fans in person.
They keep coming onto our side of the river. They’re like lemmings, but they keep missing the water.

Don't get too excited.
Most of us will be back at BHGP, some of us will be back at other “home” sites and two of “us” will be reprising our weekly Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum routine right here.

I think all this means
is that anything Iowa = page views.
80% of this has been Ohio State haha
"What do we have here?"
"We're going to Saint Croix."
"We are? Oh, goody. I'm so happy."
"Well, I hope you're happy for us, because it's just Carrie and me."
"I see. Once again I humiliate myself by assuming that I'm a member of this family."

So,
eventually 80% of this page will have to be deleted?

With any luck.

But we still watched the games so we know it happened ;)

People watched the 1919 World Series, too.

I'm telling you right now,
if Pete Rose makes it into the Hall of Fame b/4 Shoeless Joe I’m gonna be pissed.

Not similar but sure.

The original post was not nearly as entertaining as the comments.
Maybe JDMill should stick to writing his children’s book: “Oh, The Things Kill Will Do.”
