Nebraska captains refuse to shake Iowa captains’ hands?

There is generally a "rule" that you don't go to the other side of the field during pregame stuff.

Now, if it is for a prayer or gathering, something like that, that is different.  

As far as not shaking hands, eh, who cares.

Pregame walk through after arriving to the stadium vs pregame activities with both teams out there are two different worlds

Iowa: Nebraska didn’t shake our hands. How rude.

Rest of College Football: Hold our beers.

 

[JJ Husker]

Personally, anything that illicits a complaint from Iowa’s coaches, fans or players is A OK in my book. I’d rather it was the scoreboard at the end of the game but f#&% ‘em either way.

Oh for sure...I guess I have no idea when they do that prayer thing.

Pretty sure if that's the case, Iowa's admin could have contacted Nebraska's and asked them not to...  pretty simple...!!  but placing 13 armed state troopers out there to "protect" it was just to illicit a response...  our "classy" act in return was to refuse to shake hands at midfield...  not resorting to violence...

Both things can be stupid

 

[Mierin]

I thought they did it at the 50 so both teams could come together for it before the game.

If that were the case, we wouldn't have had multiple teams get annoyed at us for doing it. I don't know this, but I kind of doubt we asked the other team to join (but should if we're going to do it there).

I did not notice this last night.  It is disappointing that our guys would behave that way.  Thoughts?

Thoughts:  No.

Feelings:  Disappointment.

Results of those dishonorable actions:  Another loss to Iowa because they had a little bit extra fire in them.

Yeah I don’t think they had any extra fire. We pretty much kicked their a$$ all night long…..except for about 4-5 plays where our guys failed to make a simple play like tackling or snapping or not fumbling.

Yeah. They sure had fire to the tune of getting dominated before we laid a punt on the ground in the 3rd quarter.  We lost, they won…but please…enough of this ‘they had motivation’ crap. They weren’t motivated enough to convert a 3rd down all day or keep their stud running back from getting stuffed in the backfield half a dozen times.

I know.

We would have won that game if we'd been honorable instead of cheap when the captains met pre-game. 

 

[twofittyonred]

You mean the players, right?  They are the ones that were apparently upset by it.

We're they..??

 

[funhusker]

We're they..??

If that’s why they didn’t shake hands, I’d say they were upset by it.

But then again, no ind knows for sure if them getting kicked off the fifty is why they didn’t shake hands.

I don't know man.  I think they were extra fired up and that is why their punter sort of punted that hard to catch punt.
