I was able to look at 8 seasons out of the last 10 before the Uah website got jiggy. It looks to me like they both had the same number of winning seasons. Utah had 4 bowl wins, 2 bowl losses and 2 seasonswith no bowl game. Huskers had 5 bowl wins 2 bowl losses and one season with no bowl.
I love the Utes esp when they do well and get beat by Boise. But there is now way they are the football legacy that Nebraska is. That is without mention of Nebraska baseball, swimming and diving, gymnastics, softball. basketball. There is no way Utah athletics are on a par with Nebraska.
Yeah, but Nebraska is a rival in 1 sport. We don't play most of the sports on your list and our basketball team doesn't consider Nebraska a rival. At least with Utah, I can see us developing a full rivalry that crosses over to other sports we have in common.
And I don't mean to downplay the Nebraska rivalry. A lot of great memories over the past 25 years it's been a rivalry for CU (and that's about the exact timeframe I've been old enough to really follow college football).
