my hatred for Nu runs deep, but it really took on a whole new meaning with this latest cowardly cut and run move.
funny how all huskers think we are texas' bitch....not so. but I am excited to see how long it is before you see the truth, that OSU, Mich, and Penn State are NOT gonna let you walk in as an equal member..you are the new kid, and they will treat you as such.
at least in the big 12 you had a shot at getting to a national title...not gonna happen in the big 10.
NU is done |
Cowardly? lol.... BTW, you ARE Texas's bitches. We had the nards to say, "Not us".
I don't know why you think that we won't be an equal member since precident has already been set via Penn. St. I think you're just talking.....

Welcome to the Big Ten, Sandy. Glad to have you. And yes, jigs is just blowing smoke. Nebraska will be treated as an equal member from the git go just as Penn State was 20 years ago and just as Michigan State was 60 years ago. Joe Paterno was instrumental in getting Penn State into the Big Ten. He didn't have the final say, but his opinion carried a lot of weight, as you might expect. He has said that joining the Big Ten was the smartest thing Penn State ever did athletically, academically, and financially. The same will hold true for Nebraska.
In football you will lose some long-time rivalries but you will gain new ones. Nebraska-Iowa sounds like a natural to me. Some people accept inevitable change and make something out of it. Ohers sit around and cry about it. I remember the last time Nebraska came here to Illinois and kicked our butts back in the mid 80's. LOTS of Nebraska fans came along and I talked to and tailgated with quite a few of them. Some of the finest people I've ever met. Even kept in touch with one family for a few years. Had a soft spot in my heart for NU ever since. Can't wait till we play you again.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. The idea that you no longer have a shot at the national title is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard.  That will be determined on the field, not with a bunch of talk.

Funny how nobody seems to be having a fit that the school located in the People's Republic of Boulder went to the PAC-10.
I know it's hot, but some folks gotta quit drinking all that Haterade!

Who won the North last year? Who was ahead of Texas in the Championship game when the clock expired?

I've been a football fan for as long as I can remember. I bet that I've watched 1000 games. Doing a little math and assuming each team throwing 30 passes with a completion rate of 50% ( I like using easy numbers, that way K St. fans can hang with me...), I figure that I've seen 30,000 incomplete passes. I have seen officials add time to the clock after an incomplete pass ONE TIME out of that 30,000. Guess when that was?

if your team was as good as you say, it should not come down to a last second play.
suck it up, be a man. you lost.

I'm not adverse to NU acting in their own self interest, but am fatigued by the rationalizations. Alas, I may be the last to the party, but I see a side to Dr Tom that I've long denied existed to my KState friends.
In a parallel universe I'd like to note Nebraska's reaction if Kansas had responded to the Big 10s overatures a couple decades ago. Just what are the purposes of conference alignments? I expected this desperate behavior from Missouri, and can't be disappointed by them. I was proud of Kansas when they cold shouldered the big 10 years ago and again showed allegiance to KState recently.
I don't understand tha assumption that UT is harming the conference by "eat what you catch" revenue sharing, but NU is merely "reaping their just desserts" when they don't share their vaunted gate ticket sales revenue. I've long admired NU's football tradition, but my Dad reminds me that he had to endure Big 10 denigration like OU and the 7 dwarfs when he was in the military.
Finally, latching onto the rustbelt was stupid. I am depressed when I travel through the rustbelt and what used to be America's manufacturing dominance. THe current American welfare state cannot continue, and the rustbelt will be decimated by the new economy(the rust belt is decimated and the welfare state is over). Nebraska is already being slurred by big city squallor dwelling sports fans - and the big 10 is the minor league in football. The big 10 hoped the b12 would implode if they picked off NU (and UT would follow), and NU assumed it also. (Imagine Dr Toms surprise when his quote about one team leaving doesn't kill a conference, when he assumed the B12 was dead, being pivotal in NU standing up to their financial responsibilities).
My Dad has always advised "never let negative emotion drive a decision," and a good deal of this NU to b10 is negative - from vitriol to MU for starting it, to hate for UT for their selfishness and disdain for (eroneously labled) the weak sisters. I'd previously not realized it but Dr Tom casts a smaller shadow than my Dad.

as long as I have hated NU, I have always looked at Dr Tom as a bright spot in the dirty northern foe....but he let Lawrence Phillips play, and now this move has me questioning his standing.....Husker fans fell hook line and sinker for the official statement of the University " they started it, we ended it"
what about the old cry from NU ? "we won't let this conference fall to the likes of Texas and Ou "
NU made a BAD move, and time will prove it.
KSU, KU and the others are NOT the bitches you think we are....we will do just fine.
the husker logic of " a Big 10 degree carries more weight than a Big 12 degree" I call BULL....now if you were bragging up an Ivy league degree, I would give in to that argument...
happy trails, and enjoy your farewell tour of the Big 12. I look forward to the signs at the away games, and even think KU will benefit from this...all those doctors they graduate will be stitching up husker fans after every game.
