Nebraska – Iowa: A Rivalry Of Hate That You Should Accept

It’s a rivalry. I explain why.

This is your obligatory “Iowa is a rival” article.

A couple of days ago Husker Mike brought up the fact that he doesn’t want Iowa seen as our rival because they give us nothing to aspire to. He has an excellent point.

Iowa has beaten our beloved Huskers the last three times in a row without much to show for it. They won the Big Ten West in 2015 only to lose to Michigan State in the conference championship game. They were then demolished in a Rose Bowl where the most memorable moment was the Stanford band making fun of Iowa and their cows. They’ve gone to two bowl games over the last two years, losing to Florida 30-3 in the Gator Bowl in 2016 and beating Boston College 27-20 in the 2017 Pinstripe Bowl. If you want to count that Pinstripe Bowl Trophy as a memento of stature go ahead, Iowa fan, but it’s only a matter of making my point – there’s very little to aspire to in beating Iowa and being happy about it.
