So what your saying is even with all that NFL talent, Iowa still only wins as much as donkey ball sucking Nebraska. *

You must be so proud.




* you tried too.

Could be better, but could be worse.

Better for Nebraska and worse for Iowa????

We’ve shown that Nebraska at its worst is level with Iowa at its best.

I guess you’re right.

You Iowa guys sure like to move the bar.
It’s been about 2001 - present.

If we’re picking 4 year periods, I vote 94-97

Actually, I gave 4 different ones earlier. 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, and 20 years. I also gave comparison inside each 5 years. And year-by-year.

Nobody reads all that spoiler stuff. Besides, all you Iowa guys look alike and can’t drive for shit.

Did it explain why a Nebraska team with only 8 wins in the last 2 years can still out recruit a “clearly more relevant” team?

I measure recruits differently. Ferentz has had 2 5-star recruits. The 1st one was outplayed by a 2-star and nobody knows his name. The 2nd one is AJ Epenesa, one of the top DLs in the country.

Most of the players who have won national position awards for Iowa were no better than 3-stars.

And preseason coverage doesn't make a team more relevant.

Damnit man, quit making sense.

 

[7Samurai13]

Seasons with 9 or more wins since 2000

Nebr: 12
Iowa: 12

Bowl record since 2000

Nebr: 7-8
Iowa: 8-8

My gawd the worst Nebraska stretch in 60 years IS Iowa 2.0

You do sound like twins.

You hurt me deeply.

Big Ten Championship Game puts program successes of Dantonio, Ferentz on display | NBC Sports Chicago

Dantonio’s program has become a national model, but it had to base itself off a model to reach this point. Dantonio talked about the influence of Tom Izzo’s basketball program and how its high level of success and hard-work habits influenced the Spartan football team.

But Dantonio mentioned another influence, too: Ferentz and Iowa.

“When I became a head football coach, I looked around at different programs — I said this throughout the week — I looked around at different programs and said, 'Who do we want to pattern our program after?' Iowa was probably the dominant one,” Dantonio said. “Had a staff that had great continuity, that would stay in place, excellent coaches, a program built on toughness, not a system. They didn't change, switch back on different things. They had a belief system from a football standpoint that was very structured, defensively, offensively, special teams. They were very, very successful. The man has won a lot of football games, has had success in this conference really throughout 17 years. So, I mean, that's a statement in itself to me.”​

Shitty offense paired with being relevant once out of every three to four years. Sounds about right.

2005-07, Iowa sucked. That was in the middle of that AIRBHGa mess thing, however, Iowa still had a strong D throughout that time.

Once Norm Parker's health went bad around 2010, Iowa's D wasn't the same and they lost O'Keefe there. It was a mess. 2010, Iowa extremely underachieved.

Not sure your point.

I simply corrected the "every 3-4 years" to every 5-6 years to reflect accuracy.

Prior to 2002 it had been 10 years.

 

[rmilia1]

In Nebraska math 5 top 10s in 18 years is every 5 or 6 years .

 

[Red_Alert]

In Nebraska math 5 top 10s in 18 years is every 5 or 6 years .

In Nebraska math 2 Top 10 finishes in 14 years is every 7 years.

Keep trying to convince SportsHoopla how relevant Iowa's #9 and #7 finishes were to the national title.

We’re you today’s years old when you accepted this?

As I said earlier, I drank for over two straight months on my day of acceptance.
