Good potential rival. Many families, like mine, exist on both sides of this game. You can get together for Thanksgiving, talk some smack, and attend a road game, all in the same weekend!

It is already a budding tradition and they are a border state. Besides, we just don't like them! <g>

there's just a certain amount of venom in this game, border schools, some competed against one another in years past, just a good family brew ha over a ditch bird leg.....

The tradition can continue to build. Both schools are easy to get to, as opposed to Wisconsin or Minnesota. The honoring of a hero is nice, but do away with it as a trophy. Something organic.

I ran out of space. We need a non-sponsored trophy!.. The sponsorship of any trophy makes it seem less traditional. What happens when HyVee backs out? The "Hustler Club Heroes Trophy"?

The Broken Chair is a great example. If I played, that would be what I would like to play for.

Wisconsin would be my top choice but if not them then Iowa for sure.

Iowa has too many other traditional rivalries. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa State, etc. NU should play Penn State every year on black Friday.

Iowa does not, never has and never will do anything for me. I think it has been kind of pointless to even continue playing a game on that Friday once the OU and subsequently CU games ceased.

Wisconsin is the team for us to beat. Iowa is average and at times slightly better than average at best. We wanted to beat Oklahoma because they was good, same with Wisconsin. Iowa is blah!!

I believe that in a few years Wisconsin will be our new Oklahoma and I would rather play them every black Friday to see who wins the west.

Oklahoma should be our permanent Black Friday or Thanksgiving Day game. One or the other but ONLY Oklahoma.

Iowa isn't a rival and never will be, because they have NEVER beaten us in a meaningful game. Sign me up for Wisconsin or Penn State.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
