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.

Who else wears black? Maybe Purdue would work as well. (Smiley-face emoji goes here.)

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.

While I would accept this, I still think Colorado is the perfect Black Friday opponent.

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.

Wisconsin... Big Red vs. The Other Big Red plus it will probably have B1G West implications most years

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
