5 college football rivalries we so need out of the even bigger Big Ten
By John Buhler
2. Washington Huskies vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers: Husker Du? Huskers N’ Huskies
I don’t really care if you are lonely. Do you remember when Nebraska football was good? Better yet, do you remember that decade when Washington and Nebraska both won national titles? The 1990s were absolutely tremendous for so many reasons, including that of Don James and Tom Osborne. But what we need is some Husker Du between them Huskers and them Huskies, aight…
It don’t get any bigger in the even bigger Big Ten than this. This rivalry could be called the Presidents’ Cup because Washington is named after our Boy George, and we all know that corn is best husked in Lincoln. But let’s be real, y’all. Let’s get husky with the Huskers and Huskies. It’s all about corn, dogs, … corndogs? and football. Who doesn’t love those three-to-four different things?
The only way this rivalry gets better is if everybody is required to wear a neck roll and run the wishbone to perfection. Like Crystal Pepsi, it will be a blast from the past. Everything that was great about the Clinton Administration will be showcased in this game. America is going to be online to take this all in. But I guess that all really comes down to what your definition of “is” is.
Together, they will play for the Coalition Trophy of days when eight-team leagues were so dope.
