After the Big 12 champeenship game was over, it was like "The Wizard of Oz". All them Texicans could say was: "There's no place like home.....There's no place like home......."

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?

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.

But officials immediately asked for a replay.
According to Walt Anderson, the Big 12 supervisor of officials, they were able to superimpose the clock over the replay of McCoy's pass, and they clearly saw 1 second left when the ball hit the railing of a luxury suite about 15 yards behind the sideline. The rules say the clock runs until the ball hits something.

Like I've said before, I've seen thousands of passes out of bounds, and NEVER was time put back on the clock. Other than this game, how many times have you seen it?

I didn't see the particulars in why the second was added, but I'll give you this until I see a video.
The clock operator is not the one who decides when to stop and start the clock, it is the officials in the field. The clock man doesn't stop until he sees the official waving his hands above his head. That won't happen in 1/10 of a second.
