Congrats (I had to look it up) - I'm happy with MSU's results since Nebraska became a B1G member. Are you happy with the Huskers results?

Asking because this is a B1G thread - so I'll give you 3-2 (but you should continue to bask in the glory of those Big 12 and Big 8 days. Maybe you can start a thread with Michigan fans and talk about 1997 and how great that was.

Why the fuck do I need to talk about '97 when Nebraska owns your shitty team since B1G (and lets face it, none of these Nebraska teams were really any good), but fine, fine, if you want to talk about back to back 40 point losses from the mid 90's, I can certainly help with that.  I can wait while you look that up too.  Saban says hello.

Just realize that when they play next week, you'll be happy with just being able to get to a .500 record with a pretty shitty time period spent in the B1G.  WOOOOHOOOOO congrats on that!

Content aside, fuck SI for what they've done to the look and usefulness of the site.  Reading that was painful and annoying and the popups took about 30 seconds to get rid of.  The article box was reduced to about a quarter of the screen.  Fuck all those people.

Good article though.

Couldn't agree more, but I did not click.

The only reason the B1G brought in Rutgers is because they wanted the NYC market.

The BTN may have been short sighted in the Rutgers add, as the program lowers overall attendance #'s, but I admit the Maryland add was more or less a (slight) home run...

I don't think that means what you think it does.

do you even own a TV?

Why would any conference (or more accurately, and conference network) want to add Mizzou and KU?

If this thread is about shedding teams from the B1G, then add Nebraska to that conversation

 I get it, 9 fewer losses to inferior teams in most cases.  Fucking embarrassing levels of choking cock by Dantonio

You are such a humble winner, it is awe inspiring.
Again, congrats on your huge win today .... 3 field goals is great, sadly Sparty could only manage 2.

If you had lost to an overpowering opponent, I wouldn't have said a word.  You started this stupid shit when you said Nebraska shouldn't have been added to the B1G without checking the records first.  I get it, you assumed hey, Nebraska has been so shitty for so long that MSU must have beaten them in every game.....

Always check the records.

I kind of knew when you posted that shit earlier in the week, that #karma was gonna show up once again.  Huge historical cock choking Dantonio motherfucker....he is reliable no doubt.

What does your record against MSU have to due with going the B1G. I didn't even know the Huskers record when I made the comment.

My comment was based on 2 things:
- Nebraska not bringing a large TV market to the B1G, which is what has been important to conference realignment
- Nebraska not being successful in the B1G

Congrats again on beating MSU - but what does Nebraska add to the conference?
Sorry you got so butthurt by my comment, but your team made up for and whipped ass today.
Ouch that really hurts me.

But while you are all pointing this out, you should also celebrate that the B1G payed out over $51 million to member schools in 2018, compared to $41 that your former conference paid its member schools. Since that is what this thread was about - not to distract you from today's victory. (disclosure - I got those figures in 2 seconds on the internet, so they must be correct)

I'll show myself out now and go drown my sorrows

Holy shit. STFU. You won a pillow fight against a shitty team.

Nebraska has been irrelevant for so long that I don’t even know that they played today. You’re like Wyoming, but a big conference is stuck with you.
