Black Friday Weather

Now that there’s game film on their QB, Nebraska has no excuses on defense. He throws a decent ball, but the lack of experience should be a liability for the piss yellow team. Recent past Nebraska teams have made some very mediocre QBs look like Tom Brady, hopefully that’s changed.

Everything is more difficult in the cold and affects both teams equally.

This game means much more to Iowa fans than Nebraska fans. It was hilarious to watch an entire section of adult Iowa fans screaming and trying to wrestle the trophy away from the Nebraska players in 2022. There’s even an article written by a national, unbiased writer about the poor sportsmanship shown by Iowa fans. @SWIowahawks please address the poor sportsmanship of Iowa fans in 2022, you have never seen that type of behavior from Nebraska fans toward Iowa.

Fans may not but clearly our players have embraced it. Their players have embraced it from day one. When someone takes great enjoyment in kicking your ass every year it tends to change your thoughts process.

I can tell how Garrett and those guys reacted to getting that trophy last time in Iowa City they they have clearly "embraced the hate*.

Whether we as fans embrace it or not doesn't matter as much.

What I've found is that somehow our fans ( not u necessarily) don't wanna embrace it because they don't view Iowa as our equal historically . They don't wanna give up that feeling of superiority by admitting it means a bit more. I get it.. unfortunately for us in the here and now they have been the better program. I'm finally glad our players embrace it no matter what we do as fans.


I want all the smoke with Iowa...and I can say that and STILL think we are a historically better program than them. The 90s can't save us Friday night. We gotta go earn that shit!!

Part of it for me is that I live in Colorado and I have family in western NE. About the only time I am in eastern NE is when I am at a game, which has been quite rare over the last decade. So, long story short is that don’t see or interact with Iowa fans hardly at all.

Another reason is that it always felt forced. Here’s the deal, we have decided that you two have be rivals. And here’s a lame ass trophy with no history.

Iowa is the only team we've played every year since joining the B1G in 2010. They are the only B1G team we are guaranteed to play every year. No need to disparage the ugly trophy. We are officially rivals at this point in time.

Agreed, Plenty of people from the other fan base work together and some have friends just as myself and neighbors.

We maybe friends and like one another or neighbors, but we hate each other sports teams some teams more than the other…
