Congratulations to Nebraska

To tell ya the truth after meeting many Nebraska fans....you guys lack the hostility to ever have a rivalry....Everybody was "oh gee I hope you have a great day" no "%#$@ You Iowa" chants from the student section...Very Very tame atmosphere. I was cautiously optimistic but no way this develops into a rivalry....I dislike everything about Minnesota and Wisconsin....Nebraska is just...blah no strong hatred feelings.

Good luck next year :)

At least from a Nebraska standpoint, the only real dislike has come from the constant trash talking between the fan bases. Being from Omaha, I know first hand what its like. Iowa fans claiming Nebraska irrelevance, Nebraska fans telling Iowa to go win a real championship, etc. etc. Furthermore, I believe Nebraska owns the series lead and has dominated the most recent games between the two programs. For the most part, I think Nebraska doesn't feel threatened by Iowa at this time, by their football team or their fans.

That said, if Iowa wins some big games or destroys what could have been a great season for Nebraska, Nebraska fans won't be so friendly. Furthermore, if we visit your stadium and your fans do to our band/players what Missouri and Colorado did (urine-bombs, throwing things onto the field, etc.), the animosity will further increase. I'm not saying they will, of course, but those are some reasons why Nebraska fans had a lot of animosity towards MU and CU. I never considered them rivals, but more or less annoying brats.

Right now, this game is no more than a neighbor bickering, but it has potential to be more than that.

 
I'm just glad we won otherwise I wouldn't have heard the end of it for a whole year.

Funny how those Iowa fans who were talking smack towards my buddies and I when Nebraska lost a B1G game and how we won't make it in the B1G have all back peddled and are hiding. I even had three Hawkeye fans delete me as a friend on Facebook assuming I was going to talk some smack.....really lol.

I can already tell I'm not going to like Michigan after a few short seasons.

This. It's hard for me to root for Michigan right now even though it's better for us if they win...

I wasn't sure who I was pulling for until I saw Denard Robinson doing that asinine "eating with a spoon" celebration. Seriously, Shoelace...that looks ultra hermaphroditic.

Still like Robinson more than Chris Spielman, though. I wonder, how many times do they have to deflate his head during a broadcast? I honestly think he's more insufferable than Cunningham.

IMMEDIATE RETRACTION: Cunningham cannot be exceeded in awfulness. He can be matched maybe, but never surpassed.

LOL...too true.

I'm amazed that in this day in age where personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct flags drop like crazy, taking a knee for prayer in the end zone is just fine. I have no problem with how people express their faith in their private life, but in my view it's inappropriate during a football game and draws attention to the individual more than any ridiculous taunt or celebration (which does earn a 15 yarder).

Players on our defense did the same thing...Compton did it several times as a matter of fact

When, yesterday? I've never seen any of our players doing that, but I'll take your word for it. And I still think the celebration sucks balls. :lol:

In the Michigan game. I was wondering what it meant and why both teams were doing it.

Weird...somehow I totally missed that. Was it early in the game? Maybe they were doing it in response to Robinson. I can't imagine we were doing much in the way of celebratory gestures after the first half.
