Omaha's finest

Although I can respect the premise behind the new Nebraska-Iowa rivalry game and I’m all about the battle for the trophy, I’m hoping that a different nickname will be given to the game.  Names such as the Iron Bowl, the Red River Rivalry, or the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.  I used to like Farmageddon, but when I realized that’s what some K-State and Iowa State fans call their rivalry (or whatever that puff match is called) I was turned away. My favorite so far: Black Friday Keep the game the Friday after Thanksgiving, battle for the Heroes trophy, call it Black Friday.  Everybody wins.
