Speaker 1 (00:00):
Speaking of college sports. Wrapped up the Big Ten media
Days yesterday, and Sean Callahan's here at six forty seven,
six forty eight right in there on the Iowahawkey, Iowha
gys run the spotlight yesterday. And I know this. I
(00:21):
know Nebraskans and Iowa's always look forward to Black Friday.
We don't like each other when it comes to not personally,
but when it comes to this game, Oh, I think
it's personal. I don't why would it be personally because
we can make it personal. But that's the spice of
a rivalry, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I don't think it's a rivalry because these two teams
and yesterday, I don't think it. I Your rivalry to
me is Nebraska Oklahoma because there will have something, there
was something on the line every years.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Doesn't matter. This is this Well, we have a different definition.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I can't get into it. Ever won a national they
win the national championship in nineteen fifty.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But without regard to that, well, the rivalry is the
spot that I can't wait. I'm gonna get them out,
I'm gonna beat them. I'm in. You know that to
me is what a rivalry is about. Most other games.
It's like, so it's cultural for you. Oh, I think
it is cultural between the two states. I don't think
(01:24):
there's any doubt about that. Well.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I think they're two very different states personally. You know,
Nebraska is an animal production state. I was a crop
production state, both agriculture and western neighbors. I don't see
a lot of similarity between us and them, candidly, I
really don't. Other than geographic proximity, I don't see a
lot of similarity. They have three point nine million people,
(01:47):
we have one point nine million. They have a little state.
We have a big state. We've been good in football
for a long time. They've never been good in football
for a long time. They've been competitive, there's always differences,
you know, they've they've been competitive, but they haven't them
have one of the prize, Like we have all of
that together.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But you know, look, whatever floats the boat, it's our lunch.
Way too regularly they have all right from the talkback, Mike,
this gentleman wants to let us have it, Rosie Jim.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The only reason why Iowegians hate Nebraska is so bad
is because of you old time fans that just are
so arrogant and still living in the nineties. I can't
go a week without saying Tom's name for some reason. Right, Listen,
if Iowa played back in the Big Eight in the twelve, yeah,
they probably played for some championships too. But then when
you had to move up to the Big Ten and
(02:43):
put your big poys pants on, you got your butt
handed to you. You can like coaches or whatever you want,
but it is a tougher come now. That's where you
go off the rails there the first part. I understand
a lot of people think that, But the fact of
the matter is about the time Nebraska is moving into
the big town is what coincided with the big decline
of the pro quality of the program. Well, Nebraska been
(03:03):
in the Big Ten the mid nineties, trust me, Yeah,
there wouldn't There wouldn't have been a problem.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, it's interesting. It's fun to talk about the Big
Eight conference was soft. You had Nebraska and Oklahoma for many,
many years, and you could say the same thing about
the Big Ten. You had Ohio State in Michigan. Now,
there were years when Minnesota was in there. Michigan State
made plays and Iowa had some successes in the Hayden
Fried days and whatnot. But getting into the big twelve
(03:29):
is what changed Nebraska. Well, what changed Nebraska was Harvey
Peerlman becoming chancellor. That was a disaster and Tom retiring.
If we keep a better chancellor and Tom hangs around
and maybe does more to prepare his successor things change,
things are not the same. So there is that. But
it's fun to have Iowa people say, you guys are
(03:50):
all in the nineties. No, no, no, And he's cause
I write about that. We do cling to the past.
But the one thing you Iowa people need to know
about Nebraska's if you haven't figured not already. We ignore
bad days. We never talk about the bad days. It's
as if they never happened. Okay, that coach, Oh, I
don't know who you're talking about. That ad, don't know
(04:11):
who you're talking about. They just erase it from their
memory and erase it from the record. We only remember wins.
We never remember bad I don't know, James. We don't
hang on those. Meanwhile, everybody else learns from them.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We just erase them. Well, we got a brand new
season dawning here. So and it's and it's not certainly
not all but partly pointed toward Black Friday, and I
love it and I hope both these teams do well
during the season. And so there's a big meaningful collision
the day after Thanksgiving. It's in Lincoln this year, right,
(04:46):
I think it is. Yeah, we get them here. That's
never done.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Although that's that's been no problem for Iowa lately. We
haven't we haven't actually beaten them in Lincoln in fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So but you know the but the thing you know
that you say, well, the big the old Big eight
was sought well it was soft for them too, Kansas,
Kansas State so so so then they should have been
running up and down with a lot of wins. Yeah,
does it because of Oklahoma? Nebraska did that met Oklahoma?
(05:18):
Nebraska was good. Well, there were years.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I mean, Missouri was very tough in the sixties and
Missouri had their years in the seventies, a couple of
years in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And you know, Kansas had a run under Pepper Rodgers
in the sixties. They had a moment I was in there.
Johnny Majors had a couple of good seasons. But the
consistent commitment to excellence only existed in Norman and Lincoln
during the Big.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And that's a credit to Norman, to Nebraska, Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah all right, I mean how easy was it for
ou in the forties and fifties. They had no competition
in the old Big Six and Big Seven. It was
just them. We weren't good. In the forties and fifties,
Oklahoma just dominated because the rest of the Big Six
was brutal. The Big Seven. We get the Big Seven
(06:07):
in the forties when Colorado joined, and then it was
the Big eight and sixties when Oklahoma State joined.
