Agreed. This "rivalry" always seemed very contrived but here we are.

I think most Iowa fans would prefer scheduling a higher caliber or historic opponent on black Friday. Oregon, Wisconsin etc. This series has been pretty one sided and predictable.
The last time NU beat Iowa was when your one DB pretended to get hurt so that he couldn't get torched anymore and then your QB was forced to fake an injury so that your head coach could pull him without looking like a moron.

That game was over after the first quarter. None of your lame DB's could cover the NU WR's. It was comical.

You mean back in 2022?
You beat Iowa by a touchdown but the game was "over after the first quarter".

Spencer Petras "faked" a season ending shoulder injury in the first quarter

That is copium comedy right there.

Isn't crazy that Iowa has won 10 of the last 11 yet Nebraska travels better, has better home attendance, makes much more money and the media is always wondering when Nebraska will be back. Never heard that said about Iowa. Nebraska has been the bottom of the barrel but still has a much better chance to be nationally relevant at some point because of the money, fan base, history.

That is crazy.

I'll take the W's though.

I don't know when, I just know it was over after like the 6th play of the game. Then some lame DB for iowa faked a concussion or something, because he quit. I have no idea what a "Spencer Petras" is...

How could it be a season ending injury when it was the last game of the regular season?

He quit, then your coach forced your QB to fake an injury.

It was pure gold.

Every Iowa fan refuses to answer one simple question on this Nebraska board all you Iowa dorks are addicted to: What is the most significant win in Iowa football history? Maybe you're different and will tell us - What is it?

In your mind, the Iowa quarterback (Petras) FAKED his injury which kept him not only and out of the rest of the Nebraska but the bowl game that year.

I get that you don't understand some teams go to bowl games.

I said that the DB faked the injury.

I said your head coach made the QB fake an injury. So that was on your HC.

The DB faked his own injury because of how he was being treated on the field.

Are you disagreeing with that? Your own players admitted it.

You're too dumb to argue with if you think Ferentz and Petras conspired to fake an injury in that game.

Because you'll get 10 different answers.

Conference win? Bowl win?

What's Nebraska's most significant win in their history?

Okay, so the good news is you agree that the DB did in fact fake his injury because of the abuse he was taking on the field. Thank you for that, I appreciate it.

Now, I did not say that the coach and this "petras" guy conspired, you said that. Not me. You think that happened. Not me. Conspiring would mean that they planned it and were both in on it. Which you think. Again, not me.

I KNOW that the HC made the "petras" fake an injury and that the "petras" was just following his coaches orders. Not a conspiracy, just a player following orders.

Never said a DB faked an injury. Prove it
Also prove that somehow you "KNOW" the head coach made Petras fake his injury.

I'll answer your question but just remember, it's subjective.

IMO - 2005 Capital One Bowl win over LSU. Drew Tate pass to Holloway as time expired.



Your turn. What's Nebraska's most significant win?

Props for answering the question. And fail for rooting for a program whose greatest win in history was.... a meaningless bowl game for a 2-loss team that got destroyed by Arizona State that year.

Do you see pathetic your football program is yet? Not likely. Too blinded to see the truth.

Nebraska's greatest win is likely the Game of the Century. No, that's not the Game of the Century for our program.... that was The Game of the Century in College Football - and on our way to a perfect season, a National Championship and one of the greatest teams in the history of football.

Your program is a joke. Yes, it's been better than ours for a few years (see how I can do an honest assessment? Unlike you dorks) The fact remains you root for a worthless program that has never done anything of significance.

Bye.

You are joking right.a team that has 5 national championships and you ask what our most significant win is ? I will give you a little history lesson retard . 1971game of the century regonized in CFB as the Game we didn’t win a title in that game but it’s still recognized. You have kicked our *** over the last 11 years but do think your on our Level in CFB history is laughable .

Yet that "worthless" program is consistently good by most metrics for years.

"Iowa has been a model of consistency dating to the end of the Hayden Fry era. When a then-44-year-old Kirk Ferentz replaced a retiring Fry, the Hawkeyes found greater success. They have just one losing season since 2006 and qualified for bowl games in the last 24 of his 25 seasons. The current run is the best of the Ferentz era: Iowa has won at least seven games in every year since 2013 and has played for two Big Ten crowns since 2021." - USA TODAY Sports

How's Nebraska done since joining the B1G? Most fans who know college football wouldn't make statements as stupid as you just did. They just wouldn't. Particularly in light of it's been more than just "a few years" since Iowa's had Nebraska's number. You've been through God knows how many coaches to recapture the "days of yore". It's not happening.

Loser programs are consistently at or below .500 and often don't go to bowl games and that's what you're consistent at.

Bye loser

If only history would make you a good team today. TODAY most of the nation considers you bottom feeders of the B1G that tries to regale other teams about the 90's and struggle to get to .500


The B1G teams don't give a ****. History gets made every day.

Right now and have been for years, you are below us in the pecking order and it will take some time for you to be taken seriously.

As nice of a gotcha as this is, nobody under the age of 35 cares.

I wanna see wins week in, week out. I want to buy the shirt that says "2026 Big 10 Champions - Nebraska". I want the talking heads to be buzzing about where we fit into the CFP picture.

I don't wanna wax poetic about a game against Oklahoma from 56 years ago, that does nothing for the expanding fanbase that has no connection to those memories.

You’re just making sh*t up. No Iowa defensive back “faked” an injury in the Iowa/Neb game you’re referring to. However, the game prior to that one, an Iowa defensive back did suffer a concussion; therefore, didn’t get to play against Nebraska.

You changed the subject quickly. Don't worry, most Iowa dorks would do the same when your trophy cabinet is empty and your greatest win is a meaningless bowl game. 2005 Bowl game for a 2-loss team. Man, that is rich. You don't even realize what a dork you look like for writing that - that's my favorite part.

"But look at us - we are consistent!" The USA Today even says so! You know who else is consistent? The Jets, the Browns and the Clippers. Iowa IS consistent. Consistently average.

Iowa dork brags (and I quote): "Iowa has won at least seven games in every year since 2013....."

You are stoked about 7 wins. That's a key difference between you and us. Always will be.

We may have fielded a good enough enough team to beat them this year.

I am not waxing poetic - the point is Iowa has never won anything significant on a national level. He then asked for Nebraska's best win and I simply obliged with a brief answer.

The point is not the '71 game - the point is about being rooted in a program steeped in history, championships and national relevance vs. an average program that has never been elite at a national level.

It's just that though, buddy; history.

I'm telling you as a 34 year old, being a Husker fan has been miserable outside of glimmers in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

A win against a titan like Ohio State would be the greatest thing I had ever witnessed. From my side of the street, there's legitimate reason to believe that would never happen.

We need to get on the winning side of these "rivalries" in order to puff our chests about history, because all it does is highlight how monumental the downfall has been.

You're helplessly okay with your 7-9 wins. Congrats.

If we were boxers I'd rather, have some bad years - but win the Heavyweight championship 5 times in my life - while you're okay being a punching bag, occasionally beating Gerry Cooney, having a decent record and even beating me when I was out of my prime.

Iowa is akin to what in boxing is called a "Ham and Egger." A ham and egger is a slang term for an ordinary, mediocre person (or team) of little consequence.

Qualify for bowl games for 24 years running. You can't even string consecutive seasons of being .500 for fvcks sake.

You are akin to being the doormat of the B1G but want your illustrious history to bail you out.

Ain't happening.

You actually have to win games consistently in the B1G to get respect otherwise your just sitting around in a circle jerk while your overlords (Iowa and the other leaders of the B1G) represent the conference
