Are the Bowl tie ins still pretty standard from conference to conference with the new playoff ? You may draw an ACC team in Georgia Tech.
Don’t know? I’ve just been reading that Iowa’s likely opponent's will be from the SEC.

I’m not a wrestling fan, so I agree with you there. However, in the spectrum of popularity and $ generated..it’s football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball, in that order. Your lame “dig” on Caitlin Clark is funny, considering she’s one of the few straight players in the WNBA. 😳

Not that it matters… Or is any of our business… But are we really sure about that? I’m just glad she was out when Indiana knocked my beloved Atlanta dream out of the playoff this year. I never would heard the end of it getting my team taken out by another Hawkeye.

Yes everyone wants to win it all. But let’s be honest. There are only a handful of teams who are equipped to do so. So if you’re saying only 1 fan base should be happy each year and the other 130+ fan bases should be miserable, then that’s just sad. I don’t think you feel that way but it’s a nice coping mechanism so you immediately lump yourselves into the 2-132 fan bases. Life doesn’t work that way. It’s like saying you’re only happy at work if you are the CEO; if youre just on the executive board you’re the same as the minimum wage line worker.
Why are you trying to get me to think like you?

I am happy with winning it all. You don't have to be, that is okay.

It isn't, I have coached for years. 10-15 extra practices in December make no impact at all come the regular season.

It is nice in theory but it is just coach speak.

It is like lifting weights, if you lift for those 2 weeks and don't keep lifting, it is not going to pay off.

Does anyone - Husker or Iowa fan - buy for one second this person is a “coach?” As a parent I wouldn’t want my kids being taught perseverance and hard work by someone who so obviously wants to toss in the towel at the first sign of adversity. I coached high school football for 6 seasons and even if we were 0-8, I’d happily take one more opportunity to compete in a heartbeat. I’m confident saying every guy I coached with and against felt the same way.

Not to mention the whole “I’m the oldest son” / “I’m not a man” thing.

SuperBigFan69 is miserable. Not exactly the quality that screams “follow me into battle.”

6 seasons? Why did you throw in the towel after 6 seasons?

And "battle" is for the military, not dudes playing a game. I mean, come on.

You realize every single school can play the what if game? What if New Mexico State had won all of their games this century they would have 25 championships.
I’m just replying to another poster insinuating that Iowa would never get into CFP. In the “old days” with only 2, then 4, having a chance it was difficult to get in. However, for example, during Ferentz’s tenure at Iowa, Iowa had three consecutive seasons ranked #8, so in the current 12-team format, they would have been in playoffs. I’ve heard rumors that in the future the CFP may be expanded to 16 teams…I’m not in favor of such expansion.

Yes, it is…all those years that Nebraska played in the Big 8, they generally only had to worry about the Oklahoma game (except for a few years when Colorado was good). It’s okay to admit….Nebraska’s all-time wins # is padded by wins vs patsies. I would say the same thing about Ohio State & Michigan when the Big 10 was the Big 2/Little 8 in the old days, b4 more balance came into the league.

OK. Also not true. But the clown I replied to claimed Farentz has won more games at Memorial stadium than Matt Rhule, which is ridiculous.

I think playoffs should go to 16 do away with a bye week for 4 teams.

It clearly says “Big Ten conference wins,” which is absolutely true.

Matt Rhule has won 6 Big Ten games in Memorial Stadium. Kirk Ferentz has won 7.

Something about that meme triggered my spidey sense though, and I went back and looked at Tom Osborne’s record. Between ‘73 and ‘97, he defeated 11 Big Ten teams in Memorial Stadium, which doesn’t include Penn State and Oregon who weren’t members of the B1G yet.

For sure. I get that. I always thought it was crazy that Iowa and Wisconsin seemed to never be able to get a quality quarterback recruit in there. Why so many misses? Was it Brian F thing?
Definitely BF. Iowa not hiring a dedicated QB coach was malicious intent and leaving it up to him was ridiculous. That changed when they hired Tim Lester at OC.

Also the QB recruiting would always come down to two guys for one scholarship. One guy would commit and the other guy would immediately go on to crush it at another team.

Didn't they have to set up some special hiring process so that your coach could hire his kid?

I coached on a HS staff where the DC could not "hire" his kid to help coach because of nepotism issues, so his kid could only be a volunteer asst. It was so stupid.

is nothing but drama. Your mentality is weak. Your fans are always living in fantasy land. Kirk Ferentz is your daddy. Put respect on his name. Give me all the next year, future nonsense you can. You are irrelevant in the cfb world. a laughing stock. The cupcakes of the BIG. Im here for it. Tell me how great you once was or will be.
Pure class. Your mother must be proud. Sportsman of the year. You are everything that is great about college football.

It's gotta be that Tranny @SuperBigFan69 right?
People need to keep in mind that he/ she has a mental illness, does not accept the truth, and thinks they/them can explain away reality.
I understand why other Nebby fans would want him/her to stfu, but as an Iowa fan, I hope he/ she remains your most vocal spokesman/woman.
I think he/she should be your mascot.

The kid at my bank on Friday noticed my sweatshirt and said he’s a Hawkeye fan. Asked me how we would do. I said I didn’t know because Iowa has had our number. But then he admitted that we had a couple of trophies. I said no, we have five. Iowa will never have one.
The last good coach to own Iowa was Bo Pelini. I think he was 3-1 against them.

The rest have been trash including the current one!

Did you not get the memo??

They were "close losses" which are a good thing, I guess.

When your team is that lame you start to create new types of wins and new types of losses.

Nope…just so long ago…they are realistic and know it would look silly to “puff their chests” about them.
Typical Hawk fan. The only history that is relevant is what fits their narrative. Nebraska last played in the 2002 Rose Bowl for the NC, Last won a share of the NC in the 1998 Orange Bowl.

Iowa fan says: it was ‘so long ago’ for Nebraska but then says in the 27 years Kirk Ferenz has been coaching he could have been in ‘multiple playoffs for a chance to win it all’ if the current system was in place.

Iowa fan says: Iowa has beaten Nebraska 10 out of 11 times but doesn’t mention the Trophy series is Iowa 11, Nebraska 4. Does not mention that the All-Time series is: Nebraska 30, Iowa 23 (Tied 3 times). Why? Because it would make them look bad. Iowa fans are the masters of spin and revisionist history. Only apply any history if it’s relevant to them. IOWA (Idiot Online Without Aptitude)

The post I replied to (#10) clearly said “And has more wins in Memorial Stadium than Frost and Rhule”. Did not say anything about Big Ten Confernece wins.

And our coach is the all time leader in Big Ten wins. And has more wins in Memorial Stadium than Frost and Rhule. Think about that. He plays there once every 2 years.
He has been coaching for how many years??
How many National Championships?

Fact: There are 4 teams in college football that have at least 8 wins every year since 2015: Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Iowa. Very impressive!

Fact, 3 of those 4 teams have more than 125 wins, the other 97...
Fact, 3 of those 4 teams have won multiple conference titles, the other has not...
Fact, 3 of those 4 routinely compete for nattys, the other the Music City Bowl...
Fact, 3 of those 4 routinely finish in the top 10, the other has had 1 top 10 finish, while finishing 4 seasons, likely going on 5 unranked...

I mean, if you think Iowa's been impressive, you must have been in utter awe of NU and Bo Pelini from 08-14 as only they, Bama, and Oregon had 9 wins each year in that time span...

Times I’ve posted on the Iowa Hawkeye board: 0
Times I’ve read any post on the Iowa Hawkeye board: 0

When Iowa Trolls come on here and post ****, yeah I’m guilty of bickering. So don’t act shocked there are responses. Because if I went to your board and talked ****, I wouldn’t expect anything less than a response. But I don’t go to another teams board after a win. I just celebrate the win on my teams own board. I’m not insecure like the Iowa fans that feel the need to come here. That have probably been bullied their whole life for being an Iowa fan and not amounting to much, and the need to gloat or overcompensate over here for their short comings.

Maybe someday Nebraska can at least be an average team in the BIG and understand their place. Next year doesn’t look good. No way is this soft a$$ team even competitive against good to mediocre teams. Fire coach, have delusional expectations, win off season, suck again, rinse, and repeat for another decade or two. A coach would have to be a complete idiot to consider Nebraska as a future destination at this point.
Yeah Nebraska has sucked but please remember that Iowa only beats bad teams. Iowa has their own ugly steak of consecutive losses to top 25 teams. Ferentz really is Bo Pelini.
