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.

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.

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

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

Such a great rivalry!
ReplyGood 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!
ReplyNatural rival being next door.Usually good and division will be at stake many years
ReplyBorder state rivalry is just fun!
ReplyIt is already a budding tradition and they are a border state. Besides, we just don't like them! <g>
ReplyNext door, so seems the natural rival.
ReplyThey are right next door.
Replythere'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.....
ReplyThe 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.
ReplyWho else wears black? Maybe Purdue would work as well. (Smiley-face emoji goes here.)
