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

Need a new offensive line coach

Arthur Cayette

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Robert Lloyd

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

Patrick O'Brien

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Joe Kuphal

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Jon Howser

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Joe Hegarty

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

No big deal. Recovery on the way

Leave these boys alone. They are going to start believing the BS and senseless criticism y'all spew.

I feel it ease worries a LITTLE bit. I think he has already talked to his friend Pat, AD at Penn State, and was told that Penn State Alumni want someone more proven than Rhule. So, Rhule is way down the list.

I think Rhule wants to finish what he started

a simple I'm going nowhere would have answered it once and for all not a politician's way to answer

Vincent Regan

Don't have to worry no more now.

VAHuskerFan

No, it means nothing, he is gone or he woulda squashed it and said he was taking his name out of consideration and he didn’t.

Scott Reed

What else would he say...It really sucks here??? He hasn't said, "I'm not interested in the Penn State Job".
