I'm excited about this year. I'm excited about Nebraska football, and I'm an Iowa fan.
I think last year was a fluke for you guys - some of those games were bizarre - and people were looking too far ahead to the Huskers playing championship football during a year with a new coach and system coming in. I expect Nebraska to be really good this year and easily in contention for the B1G West title - there's too much talent and experience and no transition. I don't see any slipping back. And I think those that say the Huskers days of greatness are over are full of s**t.
Iowa was unexpectedly good last year, and not given much credit for it. Some of those games could have gone the other way, too, but it's not just all luck. Things went our way, unlike Nebraska, where they didn't. Iowa could be better this year, but I can't help but think we'll slip back a bit, especially given Ferentz's pattern from year to year.
In any case, both teams are good and could have banner years in 2016. Nebraska and Iowa are a good match and fun to watch, and there is a rivalry developing. So, I'm excited.
