Iowa football: Understanding the hate for Northwestern

When people ask me which college football teams I hate the most, I usually get a quizzical look when I mention Northwestern in the same breath as Nebraska or Wisconsin. Unless you’re an Iowa football fan, you wouldn’t get it

That’s because, historically speaking, Northwestern has been a model for crap. Their winning percentage .451 ranks 112th out of 130 teams, and they have won just five bowl games in the history of the program. There are many more stats I could point out to display the ineptitude of the Northwestern Wildcat program, but I think you get my point.
