Read THIS and tell me Wisconsin should not be our main Rival

idk what blasting news is as a site or organization, but that article isn't news. it's equally as non-news as david hookstead's trollish hot takes.

 
This stuff is all a good sign: The Big Red Revival is clearly very far inside Hookstead’s head. If  NU and Scott Frost can get into opponents heads even a fraction as deep, it is going to be a great year.

 
Talked to a group of friends over lunch today.  All of us have been Husker Fans since the late 80s.  I asked them if we could only guarantee one win between Wisconsin and Colorado, the answer was unanimous - Kick Colorado's butt.... and run the score up.  You switch Colorado for Texas or Oklahoma and answers would likely differ but the reality is Wisconsin just isn't to that level yet with a good portion of our fan base.  They have embarrassed us a couple times but so have a lot of other over the same period of time.  I think it is difficult to consider anyone a rival until you are good.  When you're bad, (like Baylor was back in the day and like we have been recently) you just struggle to develop the strong emotions necessary to build an opponent up to rivalry status.

Are you saying we’re like Baylor was?

 
Said it on Page 2 and I'll say it again: David Hookstead is a running joke at Wisconsin.  Dude was not liked during his time on campus.  If you're looking for a rivalry driver, this ain't it.
