So…here we are….the mighty, mighty Iowa Hawkeyes…at 11-0…11 and freaking 0….taking on that team that used to be of national prominence, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. There are many things that I can’t stand in this world…but when put up against the Cornhuskers, I will take the lesser of two evils.

Here. are 25 things that I like better than the Cornhuskers…

1. Broccoli…..yep…broccoli…this is how much I can’t stand the Cornhuskers
2. Wet socks….just the worst…but better than the Cornhuskers.
3. Creed….the worst musical group of all-time. I’d sit through a Creed-a-palooza than root for the Huskers. 
4. Hearing “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” 22 times in one road trip.This happened on our trip to Chicago this weekend…would gladly endure this 10 times over than like the Cornhuskers.
5. Kale. I’d bathe in kale instead of liking the Cornhuskers.
6. Buffering. I’d rather sit through my laptop/Ipad buffer for hours than ever cheer for the Cornhuskers.
7. Being bald. I’d stay bald…or even have that weird center island of bare hair than ever root for the Cornhuskers.
8. Being on Hickman in between Living History Farms and NW 128th Street…2 lanes is not enough…I lose my mind…but I will spend days stuck there instead of ever liking the Nebraska.
9. Kim Kardashian. I’d root for Kim Kardashian over the Cornhuskers. I feel unclean…but this is true.
10. Forgetting to pack pants. Again…this happened this weekend…somehow, all I packed a was a pair of sweat pants & a pair of workout pants while visiting my folks. My wife, kids, and I went to a play on Saturday morning…I had to wear my dad’s pants. I’m a 32 length…my dad is a 29…where’s the flood? Still…better than the Cornhuskers.
11. Hangovers. Mmmm…a Red Bull/Vodka-induced hangover sounds like heaven compared to liking the Cornhuskers.
12. Politicians. I’d sit through 7-8 of their stump speeches & idiocy…than like the Cornhuskers.
13. Bats…spiders…and snakes. Make me a coat of them…better than the Huskers.
14. The ending to Mockingjay. So much more satisfying than liking the Huskers (by the way…worst ending ever to a book series)
15. Reading yet another article on why Adele’s “Hello” is the greatest song of all time…I’d read countless articles of that, and even listen to a (somehow) even slower version of “Hello” than ever liking the Cornhuskers. 
16. Desserts with nuts. I don’t know why you’d want to ruin a brownie or a sundae by putting nuts on it…but that sounds much more delicious than liking the Huskers.
17. Going Black Friday shopping…it sounds terrible…but it’s much better than ever liking the Cornhuskers.

Besides…who wants to go Black Friday shopping when you can find a TV…sit back…and watch the Hawkeyes go to 12-0!!?!?!?!?

GO HAWKS!
