Farmageddon: Iowa +9.5 at Nebraska (ov/un 54.5) Fri noon ET, ABC

[BB73]

The traditional day-after-Thanksgiving game for the Huskers, with realignment resulting in wannabe-rival Iowa replacing wannabe-rival Colorado.

Winner gets a corn cob. Woohoo.

I would have thought the corncob would go to the loser, but I guess you guys do things a little differently out there on the lonely plains.

Some serious trash-talk from IowaHawkblog's Twitter:

Cornhusking is easy when you're only the #3 state in corn production. #ItsOnNebraska #Zing #OhYeahIWentThere

An Iowan and a Nebraskan walk into a bar. "We don't serve 5th-ranked hog producers here," said the bartender. So the Nebraskan had to leave.

And on the Nebraska side of that trash talking...... crickets.


Seriously. We just don't like them that way. We just want to stay neighbors.

I'm pretty sure that "trash-talk" was just having a little fun with the whole "Farmageddon" concept, rather than intended to seriously disparage Nebraska for being ranked slightly behind Iowa in corn/hog production.

I'm pretty sure that was abundantly obvious. But thanks for pointing it out anyway.....?

I thought it was, too, but your initial response suggested to me that you didn't take it that way. I guess I just misunderstood/misunderstand what you were saying.

Eh, still believe this series has real potential to be a good one down the road...

 

[TooTall]

Love the title.

Winner gets a corn cob. Woohoo.

But it is a really big corn cob.

In Dublin, Ohio y'all, so don't get too snippy with the Massey-Ferguson crowd.

If BP posters get out of line, we can count on MaxBuck to give us an earful. OK, I know that was corny, but shucks, I'm always stalking MaxBuck's posts for any kernels of misinformation - I'm not going to let him butter us up.

Huskers still trying to fill the void in their schedule created when Texas joined the Big XII bumping Oklahoma to just another occasional opponent. Colorado couldn't fill it. I doubt Iowa can either.

Huskers-Sooners was HUGE when I was a kid. The Big 8's version of OSU-UM at the end of the season, the de facto championship game many years.

You could set that to music and sing it in perfect hominy.
