Just now turned it to Sportscenter & George Kittle was bashing Nebraska

- Start date
I can only speak for myself, but I am more amused than bothered by an NFL Star that has that much animosity towards a college program. He’s a microcosm of message board Iowa fans.

Karma will get Kittle, across the middle hopefully soon.
Outsider here, but you have a good perspective. Nebraska will never be "irrelevant" due to your history and accomplishments, and people who say so are just trolling.
As you mentioned, every program will have down periods, even Alabama. Although for the likes of Alabama or Ohio State, the down periods tend be much shorter and the floor for how bad they can be as programs is limited to an extent by the advantages they have over other programs. Nebraska, while having a great deal to sell (great history, facilities, fans, etc.) does not have what Ohio State and Alabama have, which is ready access to great talent within 300 miles or so of their campuses.
But if/when Nebraska has its program running well again, there is no reason it can't compete for a playoff spot in a given year or years.
I like Kittle and like that he said this. Just hope an NU alum would give SVP the 'who? oh, it's just another game for us,' treatment with regards to our non-rival to the east.
He talked about 15 seconds about the game after getting promoted and your this upset about it? Get over it he said nothing.
Thankfully rivals limits the number of posts for non paying accounts.
I would like to hear less about Kittle and see more pics of his fiance.
Smuck?
It's Schmuck. S. C. H. M. U. C. K.
Schmuck (pejorative) - Yiddish
You "igoramus".
Four consecutive wins over teams with combined records of 23-27. That's something to crow about.
Yeah, there are two events that we, as Nebraska alumni and fans, never really understood that I finally got after moving to Iowa City in 2017.
The first was the August 2011 Sports Illustrated cover proclaiming us to be the conference's new "bullies." The rest of the conference targeted us from Day 1, using that as evidence of our arrogance.
The second was Eichorst's statement after firing Pelini. It was a dick statement, but Eichorst was a dick, despite Pelini calling him just the opposite. This one explains why so many Iowa fans ask me if we wish Pelini were still our coach, as if beating Iowa — which Pelini did — was our raison d'etre.
My answer initially: "No, we don't want him representing our university ever again. Yes, we want to beat Iowa because as one of the conference's top six programs, it would be a major step up from where we are now."
My answer after having lived and worked with Hawkeyes since 2017: "No, because he was an a-hole. And yes, we want to beat Iowa because you're such a Pelini."
FWIW
It is my understanding Bo Pelini was shown the door at Iowa. The Stoops relationship likely got him an opportunity, but his time in Iowa City was short.
I never saw the rationale for him as Huskers head coach.
Like Mike Stoops, didn't think he was ultimately the right guy for a HC job.
Bo Pelini's one year absence from coaching and where he landed next.
1991 Iowa (GA/AWR)
1993 Cardinal Mooney HS (OH) (QB)
Like Frank Solich, he found his niche in Ohio.
Did he bash Nebraska worse than Husker fans, cough,cough, do on this site?
Agree it is a bit tougher for Nebraska just do to the recruiting location. However Alabama had a similar stretch. Not as bad no but, 16 years between NC 1992 NC to 2009 NC. In that time frame they had a 9 yr stretch of no conf championship. 5 losing seasons, Up and down years. I think part of why their down stretch wasn't as long as ours is their recruiting advantage.Again Im not saying they are identical. I think some of Nebraska length between conf championships is changing conf. Every conf has a different "vibe" as well as different recruiting hotbeds. Nebraska lost a huge recruiting area when leaving the big12.
He beat the piss out of us along with his team nearly every year he was on the team.
he wasn't take out of context, he was just an asshole.
You think? Ask a kid today which team has more national championships between Nebraska and Minnesota and they will probably answer correctly. If you tell them Minnesota has a longer dry spell from the 1960’s versus the 1990’s, and they will shrug their shoulders and say - it’s all ancient history.
i was on the same page with you till you started to shit on our very own Husker fans. How can you be ok with doing that? I don’t always agree with my fellow Husker fans but I won’t do the crap you do. I’m Husker fan too and a part of that same very group. Some of your football talk is on and I agree with most of it but the way you hate on the Huskers, Husker fans and our Head Coaches like Tom Osborne makes me really wonder if you’re a real Husker fan. Now I do agree the past needs dropped and let go of but knocking fans for enjoy those moments they lived, watched and breathed??? No sir, we all earned that right and glory if they decide to go back and relive it during the off season (when they tend to do it). And you do realize when other fans roll their eyes and all that, they do that because that’s the one thing they can’t take away from us! They kick hard while we are down now and have fun with it...but they can’t take away those National Title years...and they hate it.
The very least Iowa could’ve done in the past 4 seasons while beating Nebraska and to earn some respect is win a B1G championship and a major bowl game. They’ve won squat. The game against Nebraska is their fans super bowl and evidently Nebraska football owns head space in their players heads as well (see George).
Uhhh...that's not good-natured ribbing or smack talk. That's being a bit of dick.
Who is this? Nice kitty cat tat, that’s cute, I mean it really makes him look tough
there is a difference between being proud of the past and living in the past
any debate with Iowa, Purdue, Colorado fan, etc, etc regarding present day football is quickly diverted to "ya .. but we won national titles 20 years ago, etc".
we are one of the great historical programs of all time - a blue blood - but that really has no relevance in today's game or to the Iowa game this week - our last elite season was a long, long time ago. I will debate most any fan with the exception of a few regarding the historical significance of the program - unfortunately that really is of no consequence when debating the current pecking order in the Big West or Big since we joined the conference
I too, enjoy pulling out the old VCR tapes and watching games when we were an elite program as well - I just hope my VCR doesn't die as they are becoming extinct and very difficult to get serviced
Yeah, Kittle thinks very highly of Kirk, Players and coaches thought the Nebraska AD took a real cheap shot at Iowa and KF, They haven’t forgot.
Irrelevant? He set an NFL record last year for most receiving yards by a TE in a season in his second year in the NFL. The guy is a fantastic blocker and receiver. His head coach Shanahan said he is the 10-1 49ers best offensive player. Seems pretty irrelevant.
