Tony White 3-3-5 vs PJ Fleck

We will have a few bigger bodies than Syracuse did last year but also a little less athletic. Minnesota lost some good OL and Ibrahim at RB. They did pick up a few solid non p5 transfers and should have more big play and passing ability this season.

MN beat Syracuse 28-20 but I watched most of the game and probably outplayed them but didn't do what was needed in crucial times (sounds familiar).

This should be a good football game.

We may have a motivational advantage as we consider them a rival while the same can’t be said for them

I don't even like to think about the Minnesota games...so many of them we lost due to either bad coaching (covid season) or dumb turnovers by AM.

As far as the 3-3-5...I don't think we are fast enough but we'll see I guess
 
Personally I don't think Nebraska fans consider Minnesota to be a rival. There's probably more motivation on the Minnesota side to beat Nebraska but it's not at rival level. Minnesota considers Wisconsin and Iowa to be rivals more than they do Nebraska IMO.

we don't face any speed in our plodding, stuck in the mud conference
 
Cuse outgained Minny 477 to 215. Pick 6 and a 75 yard kickoff return that set up a TD were the two huge plays. Cuse couldn't finish drives either.

What a cover it was though.

Got it. I guess I didn’t realize the AD determines rivalries. Good to know.
this was a part of the new conference alignment for 2024 - where they put in protected rival recommendations to play every year. Trev put in IA, WI and MN - only Iowa put us in.

Don’t want to re-hatch that thread but I think that was the sarcasm the poster was referencing.
 
Why would sh!tty programs like minny, iowa or Wisky be considered rivals? They are garbage programs and are equivalent to fighting a girl.
Iowa is the biggest rival in Nebraska's eyes whether fans want to admit it or not. Evidence: The most hate expressed on this board is always that for Iowa. Nobody else in the B1G gets the same amount of hate from Nebraska fans and we don't play anybody else on a sustained, ongoing basis other than the B1G conference foes.

I guess Penn state is a huge rival too then…solid logic

every opposing fanbase gets crapped on when they venture over here. CU, Michigan, Kst Georgia, Penn St, UCF, you name it. it's a 100% hit rate.

iowa's fans just come here way more often because they despise Nebraska fans & it consumes them

I guarantee the same doesn't take place on their board. would bet any amount of money on it.

the "rivalry" is a one-way street, and it's beyond obvious. I still have yet to see a single anecdote of Nebraska fans throwing down with iowa fans in real life, and I ask constantly.

fan fights are a regular occurrence when actual rivals collide. we hate CU. we hate mizzou. real, actual hate.

I don’t think we can slam Iowa as a rival because they suck and then talk about CO and Mizzou being rivals.

what?

our rivalry with CU goes back to when we both were regulars in the top 5 and their fans were slashing our tires and throwing piss-filled balloons at us in Folsom Field.

our rivalry with mizzou goes back just as long & for similar reasons

get a clue

rivalries aren't chosen, they're forged in the white-hot fires of true hatred
 
Would love to see Mizzou as a regular in the top 5? Let me know when that happened - I’m anxious to get that clue.
 
I wish we had a couple or 3 "warm up" games prior to facing the Gophers.

Oh well... bring it on. An away conference game to begin the Rhule era is certainly exciting.
We are returning a lot of starters on offense and defense while MN has had a lot of turnover this year. We have a new QB and receivers who have to sync up, but so does MN. They have to find some new linemen and a new running back. It actually might be better for us we get them first game.

I think booger boy sparked that rivalry.. at least for guys around my age. They were good teams and their fans were brutal

this post makes it clear you never attended an NU game at Mizzou
You’re the one that said it! 🤣. I get what you are saying but to piss on Iowa rivalry and defend Mizzou seems off to me. Just because people act more civilized now doesn’t mean there isn’t hatred.

You are correct I never attended a husker game at Mizzou. But have seen Mizzou at Nebraska - apparently I missed my opportunity to slash tires and piss on their heads to let them know it’s rivalry time.

people do not act more civilized now

there will be countless anecdotes of fan hatred in Boulder this year, including physical altercations

because they're are an actual rival

Nebraska is above that.. but you’re not a Husker fan.. you’re not foolin’ anyone
 
I think anyone who acts like that is a poopy-pants-knucklehead. Seriously - it’s a football game.
 
You justify physical altercations, slashing tires and piss-filled balloons??? Yep- I’m an idiot by thinking that is childish.
the tire slashing & balloons were not perpetrated by NU fans, but by scum of the earth CU fans

fights happen in actual rivalries

kumbaya, mixed watch parties/tailgates & congratulatory threads happen in the contrived, faux B1G rivalry

once more I say: get a clue
 
a very B1G opinion spoken once more like someone with no clue
You clamoring for the Big12 when it’s never going to happen seems to be off base We might as well forge rivalries in our current conference. Maybe you should piss on someone and punch them in the face at any B1G game to let them know you are forging a rivalry in the white hot fire of hatred.
