    Yes. because Suh was very upfront about it. He would look an entire offensive line in the eye and demand they produce their junk for ritual emasculation...including both tight ends.

    Nebraska had only one traditional rival, and that was Oklahoma. They went to the Big 12 South, we stayed in the North, so that went from an every year game to every other year. Plus, we were still paying Pelini and Riley this year along with Frost, so we were able to take care of them in a fairly painless manner with buy out offers, although Pelini wouldn't take a buy out. Actually, it makes sense for him not to at this stage, for tax purposes. Pelini had his faults, but his biggest error was to call out narcissistic Nebraska fans after they booed his team at half during the 2011 Ohio State game. I might be the only Husker fan who doesn't buy into the "Greatest College Football Fans of All Time" title with which the rank and file Nebraska fans have anointed themselves. Pelini could be a prikk, but his temper wasn't what did him in at Nebraska. He wouldn't kiss the ring of Nebraska Fandom.

    Well, we didn't say anything at the time because in those days, society tended to blame the victim. The Aggies claimed Ben Cotton was asking for it by wearing those tight shiny red pants in the bottom of the pile.

    The REAL reason Nebraska left the Big 12 is because Texas A&M kept pinching our pee-pees:

    Winning takes care of any conference impediments, real or imagined. If a team wins, then the conference doesn't matter. (Think Oklahoma and Nebraska in the Big Eight) If one can't win, then the conference doesn't matter. When it does matter is what the conference pays out every year. So regardless of what conference in which a team finds itself, it has to win to be relevant...unless it is the SEC. Then that garners enough votes to put a .500 team in the Top 25 early in the season.

    Just to be clear, any of Nebraska's hypocrisy started with Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers robbing a gas station and never missing a practice. That was Nebraska putting winning above character. It also wasn't very smart of Rodgers, since the number of young black men who could run away from the scene of the crime that fast in Lincoln, Nebraska could be counted on on hand... So that started under Devaney...

    Interesting chart. Of course, the Big 8 was basically Nebraska and Oklahoma, so that artificially inflated where we were. Then that big bump in the '90s left us no place to go but down, realistically. Anyhow, we have a competent Athletic Director and a very promising young coach, so we look forward to seeing what the graph looks like in a couple of years, if one exists then.

    What is certain is that we didn't have to do so in our present conference to get a larger amount of money. So maybe the Big Ten saved us from that unpleasant issue, which is great for all concerned.
  9. Cornfusion
    Yes, this is true for next year. How the Big Ten sets up their schedules is somewhat a head scratcher for me. However fans like my uncles and cousins liked to go down to Manhattan or Stillwater or Ames for games because it was easily done from the middle of Nebraska

    I don't know what to say about that. Nebraska was only one of the four teams that left, so I'm not sure if we stayed and those other three left if we would have been just as well off as we are now.

    In my opinion, the quality of competition from top to bottom in the Big Ten will be greater than or equal to that of the Big 12 most years. C-USA would not provide that quality of competition, and I put a higher premium on interesting games rather than easy wins. So if we can play in a conference that provides greater than or equal competition and pays more money with a nice network...shouldn't Nebraska be content with that?

    I believe I wasn't the first to bring up the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the attendant feelings surrounding them in this thread. I think I joined a thread already in process talking about the Nebraska Cornhuskers and other former conference teams from the SWC or Big 12. Do you find it odd that a Huskers fan would be drawn to Husker content?
  13. Cornfusion
    I came to this Texas forum because you seem to talk and reminisce about former conference foes on a regular basis, one of those former conference foes being Nebraska. This thread being proof of my assumption. I thought since you were talking about Nebraska, it wasn't taboo for me to do so as well. Yes, I just joined. I hope this doesn't offend the majority, but I believe you have mechanisms in place to remove me if you should wish.

    Nebraska hasn't fully recovered from Mike Riley's stint. That was worse than your Charlie Strong era, but I am sure you can relate. So Nebraska will aim for winning the Big Ten West next year and take it from there. For Nebraskans, it really doesn't matter where we play football, or who are conference foes are, as long as one of the teams playing is Nebraska.
  15. Cornfusion
    Okay...

    The Oklahoma game used to be HUGE every year...and that was it. The Big Ten has more competition from top to bottom than the Big 8 or Big 12 did. So we traded more money for playing teams like Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and lost Oklahoma and Kansas, Kansas State. I'm okay with that, you might not be if you were a Nebraska fan. Most Nebraska fans are looking forward to settling accounts with Iowa and Wisconsin, hopefully next year if we can get some defensive backs that don't play terrified and look for the ball every other tenth time.
  17. Cornfusion
    A lot of Nebraska fans missed traveling to games, which is now harder in the Big 10. I do believe that outside of this faction, most Nebraska fans have settled into the Big 10 comfortably and the excitement and anticipation of playing Oklahoma every year is growing dimmer in the rearview mirror. On the plus side, more money and the Big Ten network. Most fans are euphorically optimistic with the improvement they have seen on offense with Scott Frost. They have a "let's wait and see" philosophy with Frost's defensive coordinator Chinander. As for our record, I am sure everybody here can relate to how hard it can be to consistently beat a Big 10 teams like Ohio State...or Maryland.
