Op-Ed: Rivalry Hatred Is Not the Nebraska Way

Last week here at Corn Nation, managing editor Jon Johnston embraced a “rivalry of hate” between Nebraska and the Iowa Hawkeyes. I’m not going to rehash my arguments against declaring a capital-R Rivalry, except to point out yet another difference between the two programs.

Again, this illustrates the difference between the two programs:

Nebraska fires nine win coaches.

Iowa gives eight win coaches a half-million dollar bonus. https://t.co/q90CuDtq9L— Husker Mike (@Husker_Mike) November 23, 2018

I get the dislike of Iowa fans...especially since the Hawkeyes have now won four in a row.
