Sounds like Mr. Shatel is still alittle sour about last years game. On a side note, if your using your cell phonelike myself, be fair warned that Mr. Shatel's face takes up your whole screen when you hit the link to the OWH. Man lay off the cheeseburger's.
Keep in mind that tom is the guy who wrote that solich should keep his job the day after his last game he coached. Later that day pederson fired frank. Shatels take on it in his column the next day? Greatest decision ever.
I actually liked that article. He throws some complements towards ISU and yes, does refer to us as little brother but in football, when compared to NU, is that really not true? Considering it was written by a Huskers guy, it wasn't terrible.
Since this A-hole brought up basketball, I wonder if he realizes Nebraska is actually worse at basketball than ISU is at football.
You can pretty much take all his rips at ISU football and make them about Nebraska basketball except at an even more pathetic level. ZERO wins in the NCAA tournament, that is a $*&*%@$ disgrace, a true institution of losing.
Also ISU fans never cheered for ISU basketball and switched to the Hawkeyes for football during ISU football's darkest days. That's what a good portion of Nebraska fans do every winter when they ditch the Huskers for the better local basketball team, again completely pathetic. What a bunch of front runner pansies they are.
I highly doubt you'll see any Iowa newspapers write a farewell story ripping their $hi++y basketball history, but that's because Iowan's are more grounded in a world of reality where Husker football is not worshipped at an alter like a pagan god.

There's no question who I will be cheering for when they start up the series with Iowa. I lived near Lincoln for five years, they are absolutely the worst. Iowa fans will realize how classy and rational ISU fans are in comparison very quickly and the whole thing may actually cool down the bad blood between ISU and Iowa by comparison, especially in western Iowa.
Yah . . you're right . . all those other non football sports just don't mean squat right? ISU has always been little brother in basketball, wrestling, and all the other non revenue sports. We are little brother all right.
Is it any wonder, Iowa and Nebraska fans slap whimpy fans from pillar to post . . and then make you guzzle their sports hack's kool-aide?
But hey, you are right . ."We are little brother" and deserve every back handed compliment they can pass our way. With enough of that thinking, we can join the MAC at any time.
Little Brother? LOL, I would say your the "little step sister". Ya'll know what we do with step sisters here in Nebraska, dont ya? Have a good day. Later, Time to feed the cows
I actually think we are going to some street shootings and murder between the maniac hauwks and sker fans. They truly are crazy . .god worshipiping football nut jobs.
Content wasn't bad, but the feel of arrogance in the article makes it seem worse.
It has been relatively quiet in the Omaha media market this week. I am surprised we didn't see this article published earlier.
Many around Omaha have been relatively timid knowing that a) we won in Lincoln last year, b) Martinez likely will not be 100%, and c) ISU>TX>Neb so far this year.
Let's go state!

I agree. I live in Omaha, and there are absolutely no worse fans that the red. I have lived in CR, Iowa City, and Ames. The Iowa fans can get on ISU pretty bad, but they are nothing compared to the arrogance that Shatell, the Herald and the Nebbie fan base represent. When Iowa and NU go at it I know who I'll support, and it ain't little red. Actually I hope the bad blood between ISU and Iowa does cool down, and the Iowa/NU junk about to come down the pike may allow that to happen.
Not a well written piece at all. Facts are Iowa State and Nebraska have played football for 105 years. Rivalry may not be the right word, but there is tradition and while not as frequent as we would like - the victories in the series by Iowa State were all earned and damn sweet - writing a Sarcastic Piece before the last game in the series is kind of short sided in my opinion. Nebraska traded its history and gave up its rivalry with Oklahoma to Texas for more Money - how did that work out for you again? You again traded your history because you couldn't beat your new Big Brother for even more money - mark it down - Ohio State will own you too - then what? you are not what you were in the 70's, 80's and 90's and it is far from certain you will be again. Nebraska should win today, but Iowa State can win - big difference from how things were in the 80's and 90's huh?
Shatel is a Mizzou grad and fan. He usually downplays it and pumps Nebraska up enough to keep his job at the OWH.
