Pelini roots for Iowa...ISU just another game.

**ketelmeister** · 10-13-2008, 09:04 PM

In his weekly press conference, Bo said he always roots for Iowa because of his one year there. He said Iowa State is "just another game" to him. Hopefully, it will be more than that.

He just needs to worry about not choking on that huge piece of Gum that he has going the whole game.

Ok, as if I didn't have enough reason to hate Pelini!

Gum? He must be copying Ferentz.

Pelini (and almost every coach in the country) say each week is just another game. Don't take offense to that comment.

I hate to break your bubble, but to most Nebraska fans, Iowa State is just another game. Nebraska is now without a true rival since the Big 12 started, but Iowa State probably ranks 6th out of the 6 Big 12 North teams they most want to beat.

That is fine if you don't consider ISU a rival. Funny thing is you consider Iowa a rival and/or many of your fanbase is obsessed with the hawks. Yet, Iowa fans could really care less about Nebraska.

psst--they were actually objecting to Pelini saying he roots for Iowa.

And since you don't care about beating us, we'll just go ahead and win, then. How does that sound?

I don't understand why the press is making such a big deal about Pelini "returning to Iowa". He was a grad assistant at Iowa, not Iowa State, and he was only there for a year. Would they make a bid deal about Iowa State playing at South Carolina because Chizik was a grad assistant at Clemson?

I'm glad he doesn't care, maybe his players won't care either.

I think someone needs to take a little math refresher course.

6th out of the Big XII North? Just how many schools does the North have now????

Nebraska hates themselves more when they play during the spring game. Damn those 2nd string Huskers!

**Cydkar** · 10-17-2008, 04:56 PM

I want to see if he can figure this one out.

**CyPride** · 10-17-2008, 04:59 PM

Bo can't hear himself think because of his gross gum chewing style.

Bo will know this is more than just another game after Gene the defensive Genius locks down and shuts their offense out. Gene looking to make statement here and show the world who the real defensive guru is!

30-0.

I guess that Nebraska fans think they are so good that they have to beat themselves in order to get a true test. They did sell out their spring game this year, I wonder if Nebraska won that game.

Yeah, I screwed up with the 6th out of the Big 12 North. Who care, you all know what I meant.

That doesn't mean the fans don't want Nebraska to win this game. It's just that they assume this game as a win every year, so they don't spend a lot of time stressing out over it.

I do think Chizik is doing a good job at ISU, and I do root for ISU most of their games. To say that most Nebraska fans consider Iowa a rival is just plain ridiculious. I know some fans on message boards talk trash back and fort, but Nebraskans consider ISU more of a rival than Iowa.

Not to change the subject but your pic has the whole Halloween spirit going down with the ISU pumpkin. Did you actually do that? If so, I'm very impressed!
