[NU Sports] More on rivalries

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Not sure if I run it down ... I always say that Iowa is our REAL rival and Wisky is my personal rival ... but I recognize that the in-state, public/private school thing is our official rivalry.

And as such, it should be played at the end of the year and not as our first game.

The chance to bash Delaney was just the icing on the cake. :)

I realize UNL/PSU played a couple big games a quarter of a century ago, but protected rivals based on that? Really? Especially when they're the two teams furthest apart distance wise in the Big Ten? Seems weak. Notre Dame and Tennessee played a couple of good games in the 80s as well. Are they rivals? What about Colorado and Michigan? Miami and Oklahoma?

But anyway, if Delaney hadn't tried to mess with geography, we wouldn't have the stupid divisions or even more lame division names.
And death to the B(C)S!

GO CATS!!!

SJT, aren't you the same guy who runs down the Illini rivalry every year and now it's ultra-sacred just so you can bash Delany? Your slip is showing unless I am mistaken about your Illini bashing. 

Also Nebraska-Penn State makes a bit of sense as UNL's other 2 obvious rivals (minny and iowa) are divisional rivals and the Huskers and Lions have an intense if brief history in the late 70's and early 80's. 

the division names are stupid. The divisions aren't the best but they could also be worse (NU could be in a division with Ohio State).
