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

Nebraska is known over the years to have struggled against running Quarterbacks, they have to make sure that doesn’t happen today!!!

Robert Lloyd

I think our OL is the most problematic thing, not Emmett Johnson. If MSU gets on a roll and stops Dylan then we are in trouble.

Mitch Bronston

Any time you stop the run, you make a team one dimensional

the OL has to play better. the running backs can't run if there aren't any holes to run into. they have to protect the QB, 1 or 2 sacks are acceptable, but they can't give up 7 again.

I believe Coach Rhule and his staff have the ability to get the team to understand their shortcomings in the last game and will show them how to overcome the obstacles that Michigan presented. GO BIG RED!!! 🎈🎈🎈

Robert Lloyd

I believe we have three coordinators who will get the job done.

winning 4 big 10 games in a row very difficult with 2 away

Tim Michelsen

15 is stationary needs to help out line. He is a defensive line dream

Betty ONeill

We have to play and coach better

AK-460Mag Nurse

I doubt it, but I'd be happy with 3/4 at this point. Hope I'm wrong though.

Bill Petty

Can't get stops when it counts the most. Can't move ball when it counts the most. O line and D line have been and continue to be a problem. I am not hopeful going forward.

George mcdaniel

They will go 1 and 3

Richard Johnson

We have a DC that can't adjust on the fly.

Sporty361

Our line play is mediocre. We have skill players but our line play on both sides will be our limiting factor. We need to find toughness for 4 quarters. In this age of celebrating every yard, we lose rock hard toughness.

Roy Katskee

Football games are won with offensive and defensive lines. We have neither.

John Reeb

Our O-Line & D-Line are simply not good enough to get the job done.
