Every week I see something more that makes me scratch my head about this program - and now we have players deciding to imitate the Miami thugs of the 80’s? At least when Miami acted like jackasses, they backed it up by kicking your ass all over the field. Our little boys qualify for a bowl game and now they are bad asses?

Chalk it up to just one more WTF moment for this sad program.

Agreed.

They need an earfull for that. Kinda makes a mockery of the "Day by Day" thing they recite before each game.

That’s why Jay Higgens ran over to Rhule to shake his hand immediately after the game.

Not a great look for Nice Guy Matt Rhule

I don't care if they shake hands or not. Wondered if they did this because Iowa didn't allow the NE players to do their pregame prayer at midfield (apparently had state police at midfield logo) as they typically do? idk...just something I saw on X pregame.

I remember a lot of people claiming that it isn't a real rivalry.
Feelings this raw confirm the rivalry is real.

Don't they usually do that at the endzone. I don't recall that at the 50

It isn't a rivalry when the other team wins 9 out of the last 10.

Think what you're thinking of is more of when they run out onto the field just before kickoff. This was early early pregame when they first arrive to the field.

Who cares? So there is bad blood between the programs. If I were a Nebraska player I wouldn’t shake hands with a team where the kicker blows kisses to the opposing team’s fans after a walk off field goal (in Lincoln 3 years ago), a team that tells the other team ‘have a nice Christmas (you aren’t going bowling - last year). Yeah F*** the Iowa program!

I don’t like Wisconsin, but Iowa left their starters in when the game was almost over and out of hand to run up the score with a TD. Yeah F*** the Iowa program!

This doesn’t bother me that the Husker players know a dirty program when they see it!

As a fan, I noticed the bad blood by Nebraska fans, maybe 2-3 years into our move to the Big Ten. I never really noticed this from Iowa fans, but I have seen lots of guys obsessed with Iowa on our board, for years now.. so to me, this was really started by the Nebraska fans who were in a new conference and assumed they would beat Iowa, and when we started losing to them, they made this an issue, plus we didn't have any rivalries.. So Iowa was the closest state and hence this was entirely fan created on the Nebraska side IMO.

The crap about not shaking hands, goes completely against the culture at Nebraska and we deserved to lose because of that 1 thing alone. Each of those team captains should be relieved of those positions. I don't know what kind of culture Rhule is running down there, but that is completely unacceptable. Matt Rhule will get a ton of hate mail for that.

Not shaking hands pregame was BS. Rhule needs to call out these low class clowns and issue a public apology, if he hasn't already.

Sorry but ‘Nebraska Nice’ and all that stuff about ‘clapping’ for the other team when they would beat us in our stadium went by the wayside a long, long time ago.

For that to work today, other fanbases would have to return the same favor and class. The truth is other fanbases never did except maybe Oklahoma. Let’s be real…Iowa hates us and have always been envious of us because they have nothing. So we might as well embrace the hate.

Oh yeah, Mötley Crüe went by the wayside a long, long time ago also. As did your mullet and Nova. Let that go also lol

This program is softer than baby $hit.

 

[Landomatic]

What a douche move. If any other team had done that to us, we'd be blasting them. Rightfully. That's basic sports 101 shit. And karma's a bitch. Embarrassing

 

[SickOfPractice]

We shook hands pregame with pedo state immediately after their big scandal for F sakes.

I’m in the minority but don’t really care. I’d have a problem with this if sportsmanship was on a level playing field but the sooner you realize that it’s not, you can get off this holier than thou tirade. It is just lip service all that shaking hands BS. I wish people would stop being so F***ing fake about things.

Watch the real rivalry games tomorrow. I guess
