Mrs. Steelman

Such a great rivalry!

Jake Van Lent

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!

Jim Jarvis

Natural rival being next door.Usually good and division will be at stake many years

Angie Greer

Border state rivalry is just fun!

Robert Lloyd

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

Michael McKain

Next door, so seems the natural rival.

jerry williams

They are right next door.

Valerie Gilmore

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.....

Jeff Wagner

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.

Jeff Wagner

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"?

Jeff Wagner

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

Jeff Browne

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.

Trevor Pinegar

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

Wade Williams

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.

William R. Mangiameli

Wisconsin is and will be our biggest adversary in the B1G

Danny Baker

I would like Wisconsin also, a much better rival.

Elbert C Phillips

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!!

Patrick Keefe

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.

Joel Hug

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

Jeff Barker

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

Joe

I would enjoy Wisconsin as that will likely decide the division most years

Katie Hobson

Needs To Be Against The Best.

Richard Stevens

I would prefer either Wisconsin or Penn St over Iowa!

Scott Vadnais

I wish it were Oklahoma, but I'm old school. If not Sooners, then Wisconsin.

Daniel Revas

Wisconsin is the true obstacle in the way of a title.

Rob Kroll

If you can't bring back OU then Wisconsin! That game needs to mean something, Iowa means nothing!

Jess Hansen

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.

Nathan Birr

Oklahoma is my top choice. That failing, Iowa makes the most sense.

Rik Hale

I would like a rotation with Oklahoma, Iowa and another strong rival.

Anthony Asta

wisconsin then iowa

Chris Murphy

Would like to see Wisconsin

Larry Solfermoser

Many teams I would rather see like Wisconsin , Michigan State. Iowa has no class

Johnny Joyce

Wisconsin would be my 1st choice but Iowa would be 2nd choice.

Greg Conradt

Wisconsin seems like our prey. They are the Alpha we want to replace!

Michael Bonsall

I would rather have Wisconsin. I believe we have more in common with them.

Johnny Key

Wisconsin gets my vote

Don Scott

Wisconsin!

Nehemia Volquardsen

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

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

Steve Rentzell

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
