Iowa and Wisconsin has 2 trophies. The Hearland Trophy (the actual football game) and the Rusty Toolbox (the waterboys football game).

The waterboys football game? Are you saying Iowa and Wisconsin are stacking their waterboys with prime intramural football talent?

Can we send Grant back to the juco that we got him from?

Since Nebraska joined the B1G. They wanted something patriotic. The cheesy name that people called the rivalry during that time was Farmageddon.

Sponsored by HyVee a grocery store chain from Iowa which is also big in Eastern Nebraska. Each State honors 1 hero per year at the game if I am correct.

Cmon now, there's a trophy for every B1G game.

Realistically, Nebraska has trophy games with Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan.

But this one is the only one we have had in our possession for years…..it seems…

Minnesota. Goes back to when Pelini was here. I believe the Faux Pelini twitter account came up with it.

Good game Corn. Nebraska definitely outplayed Iowa today and deserved the win.

Everyone knows how Iowa has played all year and even though I hate to say it, I really didn't want to watch another ass kicking in the B1G final.

We'll take our pinstripe bowl and hopefully we're a step closer to ending the Ferentz reign.

Get rid of the whole staff. What a bunch of pussies. No attempts to put the game away, just hoped Iowa didn't win it.

They have all season. I think it is to develop two young RBs. I actually don't have a problem with it.

I don't hate the idea of sharing carries at all (look at Michigan the last few years with Corum/Haskins/Edwards) but when one RB is averaging over 5 YPC on the season and the other one is at 3.5 YPC, you should probably be giving the former a bigger percentage of the carries.

Didn't help that you guys had no Laporta today.
