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

Any venue is a good venue, we're in a bowl. Remember where it all began? The Gothem Bowl

Doug Ross

I'm going!

Dick Plock

Go to a bowl! Im disappointed in 6 & 6 record. 8 & 6 should have been! My opinion. Love the Huskers!

Randall Baum

this is the worst bowl there is we deseve cause little rhule wont get rid of his buddies foley was forced to get rid of Mcguire and Sattersuck we lost at least three game ayear because of these schmucks

Bob Healey

No! I was going to Phoenix! Playing in the cold in a baseball stadium. NU got the worst bowl. Don't ride the subways.

Bill Scheef

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.

Loren Zimmerman

New York City? Crime ridden, money hungry locals; no way.

Robert Lloyd

No one should risk their life for a football game in hell's pit.

Doug Einsel

And it NYC

Gary Wall

We live in Southern California, toooo cold for us--watch on TV

Bruce Jakubowski

Cold weather bowl. This sucks. Reminds me of the "Gotham" bowl...

Yeah, but it's time to use him. No moire Secrets!

David Dahlkoetter

Very good athlete. Won't make a ton of plays, but can be a serious threat catching the football.

Rich Hovorka

specially designed plays

Loren Zimmerman

He's an athlete, and a good one. He's to valuable to be sitting on the sidelines. He needs to be part of the rotation.

Robert Lloyd

It just seems he isn't a true QB and maybe this (TE) is where he should have been all along. And now with several leaving the position this could be perfect. Nothing is "hidden" these days.

Visitor

Double H is the best athlete on the field.

Scott Ferguson

He needs a lot of time learning how to run behind his pads. If he does not learn that, he is going to get hurt. He also does not come across as a real fluid athlete. Strong and fast for sure but really do not see much flexibility and vision as a runner.

Mike O

This works if Rhule gets a great qb in the portal. Kaelin didn't play a down even though he could have played in four games. And now he's gone. One blindside sack and Raiola is down for the count and Haaberg is back at qb. I do give Haaarberg an extra A for effort as always.
