Hawkeyes & Huskers talk show host Travis Justice dives into the Black Friday brawl

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Nebraska vs. Iowa has become a bitter, hard-hitting Black Friday brawl since the Huskers joined the Big Ten in 2011.   Few people are more qualified to depict the nature of the raucous rivalry better than Travis Justice, who hosts a daily morning show and weekly Hawkeye postgame show in Des Moines while also hosting a weekly Huskers podcast. He grew up in Iowa a Hawkeyes fan, then worked in both TV and radio in Omaha covering the Huskers for over 15 years and has done these Hawkeye shows and Huskers podcasts for over a decade.   The schools and fan bases don't exactly like each other. Nebraska owns five national championships to Iowa's zero (well, unless you want to count the 7-1-1 outfit in 1958 that topped the Football Writers Association of America's final poll). The Hawkeyes simply own the Huskers. Iowa has won nine of the last ten meetings — the last seven of which have been decided by a touchdown or less.   Both are 7-4 and going bowling. Both have mobile quarterbacks and have played a boatload of nip-and-tuck, white knuckle games.   Will it be the winningest quarterback in Div. I history, senior ex-Jackrabbit Mark Gronowski, piloting another down-the-stretch Hawkeye heartbreaker, or freshman T.J. Lateef turning the tide of the series in just his third career start?    Or perhaps it comes down to a bruising defensive hit that forces a turnover or a field-flipping, game-changing punt return. Or, for the third straight year, a field goal in the final seconds.   Iowa has won these last two games 13-10 on the latter. We'll see if Kirk Ferentz's stoic three-hour stare turns into a smile once again or Nebraska, for just the second time since 2014, makes Ferentz frown.   Gobble, gobble.
