Bugeaters...final word

[Sooner in Tampa]

Those stupid sluts from the land of the corn!! All I hear from those doosh canoes is: We were sick of * bullying us around :rolleyes:

Guess what bugeaters...YOU HAVE SUCKED the last 8 yrs, that why you got bullied, you weren't bringing anything to the table...no t.v's, no championships...NOTHING! You struggled in the sorry *** North Division...yes you gave a valiant effort in the CCG, but SO WHAT you still lost! I guess the writing was on the wall about the inferiority complex the kids of the corn had developed when Peterson fired Solich in '03..."and would not surrender the Big XII to Oklahoma and *"

Heres another hot flash for ya...you will now be theoSu's bitch...They call the shots in the Big 10 + 2. You just changed pimps...that's it!

You can continue to think that you will recruit well in Texas...but you won't. You will still get some stray cats and dogs...but for the most part, your pipeline will dry up. How many kids are REALLY gonna want to play in Wisc, Minn, or Illinois in the dead of winter? They are not going to say..."Oh, I will go play for a school where I will NEVER play in my own region...let alone my own state." Good luck with that selling point. But hey, you have the Ohio messiah...Big Bad Bo. Now that you are in the Big 10 + 2, Big Bad Bo is going to roll into Ohio and scoop up all the kids that would have went to theoSu if the bugeaters hadn't joined the conferece :rolleyes:

The bugeaters threw away a TON of history in order to run the Big 10 + 2...I, for one, hope they rot away in the God forsaken rust belt.

They really f'd up when they hired that F'nut Callahan......

I just read this on Yahoo Sports...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am feeling better about this deal all the time!!

"This round of expansion hasn’t yielded a major financial windfall for anyone but Texas and Oklahoma. The Big Ten isn't appreciably richer with Nebraska on board and the Pac-10 may wind up poorer with CU and Utah."

That is true, that SC/Utah game would be fun to be in town just for laughs....just imagine the mormons in sunny big fake titted coke snorting Los Angeles with all the extra wives in tow.:D


We need a new version of Randy Newmans "I Love LA" for when that day comes.:)

That's definitely a come down.

I here Missouri is looking for a conference, and it doesn't have to be the Big 10.

Really? Seriously? Keep telling yourself that.

Nebraska left because they've seen the writing on the wall for years. Texas is the reason the SWC folded and Texas is the reason the Big 12 is the laughing stock of college football right now. Texas is the one who demanded there be a CCG. Texas is the one who demanded the CCG be played in Jerry's World each year. Texas is the one who demanded the Big 12 HQ be moved. Texas is the one who looked at moving conferences MONTHS ago but when told they wouldn't get their way, they took their ball and went home to pout. Texas is the one who put the conference in jeopardy and now they're viewed as "saviors"? B.u.l.l.s.h.i.t

The Big 12 has been and will continue to be full of uncertainty. Unless the Big 12 selects a Commisioner with brass cajones to stand up to Texas, the Big 12 will continue to struggle while the remaining conferences look on with eagerness hoping for any chance to pounce.

OU gets approximately $20 mil a year after the new tv contract is hammered out (maybe...at least that's what Texas is telling everyone) and Nebraska keeps it's self-respect and dignity. I think that's a pretty good deal for Nebraska.

We didn't throw away history. The Big 8 threw away history by allowing Texas to join the conference. From that point forward, IMO, Texas was not going to allow the OU/NU rivalry to continue and be forced to play second fiddle in the RRR. Your boys in power conceded. Does it suck walking away from that tradition and history? Absolutely. Does it suck not having to bow down to UT everytime them bastards throw a Texas size temper tantrum? Hell no!

OU would serve itself well by separating itself from the Big 12/Longhorn Conference. But until then, and despite your best efforts at trying to convince yourself otherwise, OU (and the other remaining schools) will still be Texas' bitch.

[BudSooner]

When did this become a Big10/11/whatever board???

[badger]

When did this become a Big10/11/whatever board???

When our conference dwindled to 10/11 teams ;)

(see, it had 11 teams for awhile, because Nebraska left first)

[Bourbon St Sooner]

And you'll be tOSU's bitch. Enjoy your new rivalry with Iowa. That will be a big ratings grabber.

[sshusker]

Here's what I don't understand...where was this deal 2 months ago? Dr. Tom said that in their last meeting he wanted 2 things, more money and a long term guaranty that Texas would not leave the conference. Texas would not negotiate for more money and would only guaranty another 4 years. If the Big 12 fell apart in 4 years, where would that leave Nebraska. The only conferences that really fit Nebraska is the Big 10 or the Big 12. In 4 years would there be an offer from the Big 10 for Nebraska? I think Nebraska had to look out for themselves and who could blame them. I understand that everyone thinks Nebraska messed everything up, but looking at their options it seems it was the only choice they could make at the time. Now Texas wants to negotiate. Like I said, where was this deal 2 month ago?

[OklahomaTuba]

So Dr. Tom just trashed generations of tradition and respect for what exactly??

Oh yeah, only a little more money (maybe) and to play third or 4th fiddle to Meatchicken and tOSU, and eventually ND. ( just wait, you think * was hard to deal with? HAHAHAHA)

Hope it is all worth it.

So enjoy your new rust belt friends.

I guess you missed all this:

For the Longhorns and Sooners, there was little doubt that the best place in terms of actual football was the Big 12. There was never a reason to leave.

They already dominate, both in terms of on-field victories and in controlling the talent-rich local recruiting turf. The two schools have combined to reach five of the last seven BCS title games. It was almost impossible for the Pac-16 to offer greener grass than that

Life is potentially even better now for Texas and Oklahoma.


UT and OU can keep on winning and keep on cashing checks.

This round of expansion hasn’t yielded a major financial windfall for anyone but Texas and Oklahoma. The Big Ten isn't appreciably richer with Nebraska on board and the Pac-10 may wind up poorer with CU and Utah.

So run along now baby boy...theoSu is calling...they need their shoes shined!!

[SoonerMom2]

To Husker fans on here - I grew up in Ohio and still have family back there who live and breath Ohio State to the point it is obnoxious especially one Uncle. If you think that Ohio State doesn't run the Big 10, then think again and when they are not pulling strings Michigan is doing the pulling. Why does OSU have a favorable schedule every year? Ask yourself that -- it is aimed to get them the conference championship.

You think Texas was bad -- you haven't seen anything yet. Their refs are not any better and play favorites as well. Then Michigan will rear its ugly head along with Michigan State and the rest of the conference are step children who once in a while will win but not often. That's where the power is in the Big 10 and will remain.

Word in Columbus is that for three years Nebraska will get a payout of what they were paid by the Big 12. That was some deal -- not! You all exchanged one set of problems for another plus a lot farther to travel all because you had your noses out of joint.

The funniest joke of all was Nebraska saying Education when you were the only school to vote against increased requirements for athletes.

Have fun in the Big 10 -- you had to blame everyone else for you splitting the Big 12 -- we appreciate your millions you will be handing to the Big 12 for getting in a snit against Texas. We also appreciate the millions more Oklahoma is going to be receiving from TV revenue over your snit.

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

:D

Way to rationalize things. By the way...Mack Brown called....he's needing you guys to lick his *** clean

[sshusker]

I am not disagreeing with you concerning the value of the Big 12. However, without a long term guaranty from Texas to stay in the conference, where would this leave Nebraska in the future. Would there be an offer from the Big 10 then? It appeared that if Texas chose to leave, so would Texas A&M, OU, Tech & OSU. Where would that leave Nebraska? Stop hating for just one moment and look at it from their view point. I am still asking the question...where was this deal 2 months ago?

[pweitkem]

I lived in Omaha for twelve years (left Norman the year OU went on probation and left just after Nebraska ended their 10 years of dominance, it was hell on earth) and am somewhat of a Nebraska fan.
There are two reasons Nebraska left in my mind:
1 - better $$ and no UT
2 - instantly relevant
Make no mistake, NU will be good in the Big X. They would have remained second fiddle in the Big XII for the forseeable future and that's got nothing to do with $$. Nebraska is loaded and the fans will have their children go without food so the football team can get new helmets.
Get ready to win again Nebraska, and get ready for some booooring *** football games, and get ready to get your asses handed to you in the Rose Bowl.

To put it simply, NU could not compete against Texas so you left? Wow!
But you want to play against Michigan/OSU/Iowa/etc...do you think the talent level just drops off because you went to another conference???


Ask Arkansas how that worked out.:rolleyes:

It's just crazy the vitriol that some are spewing. Well, I guess I'm not that surprised, as a lot of younger fans didn't get to experience the awesome respected rivalry in person.

I agree with you, though. I like the fact that I can cheer for the Sooners when they aren't playing NU.

I'm not trying to change your feelings, just like I don't try to change Husker fan that hates OU because "Switzer was a cheater & recruited a bunch of thugs like Charles T.". Which I think is retarded to bring up because it's nothing more than fan posturing, which I see in this thread.

Dude, both sides have fans that hate each other, but I appreciate the fact that our rivalry was hammered out on the field year in & year out, but at the end of the day we could sit back & throw beers down together with respect.

To each their own, bro, but I'm just saying I'll always cheer for OU and miss the rivalry for what it was.

The Big Ten puts a lot of effort into collaborative research efforts. This helps the academic standing of your university. Nebraska spends a lot more on research than they do on athletics. Nebraska is also building a large new research park that will benefit from access to the Big Ten/CIC dollars. This will provide more jobs and other assorted community benefits.

Pellini should have never let that game get to the point that resetting the clock put his team at a disadvantage.

If this was the smartest move that you could have made, then why didn't you make this move back when the BigXII was formed if you all were so upset about how Texas was doing business?? But you waited until now and point the finger at Texas saying it was their fault? BS, total BS.

Absolutely agree with the clock issue. It sucks the way it turned out but if our offense had any pulse that night, there's no doubt in my mind we would have won.

Why didn't we leave earlier? The offer was never really there. The idea was...but the offer was never really there. Until now.

But keep thinking things are rosey in the Big 12? When that new tv deal is signed, sealed and delivered, let us know how it turns out for ya. Until then, watch your backs because UT will stab you and the other teams, in the back quicker than Boise St can pull off the Statue of Liberty play.

[Position Limit]

gotta agree with the huskers on this one. they left with dignity intact. and did what was best for them. they've seen the writing on the wall for years. they held a small but decent hand and played it. and it will pay off big time. business is business and nebraska knows it. boren and castiglione had a great hand and tons of leverage and pissed it away to texas. all for a few million more. what a shame. good god this is embarrassing. best of luck to you huskers.

Yeah, like NU could have done any better with that years squad on the field.:rolleyes:

Personally this is a case of the devil you know(Texas) vs the devil you don't know(OSU)and in this case I would side with Texas, see you in a bowl game sometime.

I was referring to your shot at OU in the game against Boise, NU would have been lucky just to get close enough to have scored a field goal against that Bronco team..as much as I hate it. To this day, I hate that ****ing schoolyard play. That and the flea flicker.

I just looked, Callahan works for the Jets. Heh, one more reason to dislike that team.

I understood what you were referring to and you're absolutely correct. We were a bunch of incompetent buffoons during Callahan's tenure incapable of poking ourselves in our own eyes. That's why I've blocked those years from my memory. :P

And you're correct about Callahan being with the Jets. I guess he's the O-Line coach. Last I heard also, Cosgrove (former D-Co) is coaching High School football.

Bottom line for me is this. OU deserves much more than what is being offered right now from UT/Big 12 but your AD and Prez sold your soul to UT and the Big 12. A lot of teams are already banking on the "proposed" tv revenue before the deal has even been completely worked out. Mark my words, UT is working behind the scenes to secure a more lucrative deal for themselves. And it's unfortunate the original Big 8 teams didn't stand by NU. Maybe if that had happened, this conference wouldn't be in the predicament it's in now.

[LiveLaughLove]

Nebraska will come out of this better than any of the rest of us other than maybe Texas.

You can scream about them all you want, but they did something about Texas' bullying and they are in a much better situation for them now.

We are in a dying/dead conference with a stronger well fed bully, with TV money numbers that are imaginary as of currently, and with those numbers being strictly temporary.

Yeah, we showed those huskers!

The step down in competition will siginificantly help their win/loss record. Though, like the rest of the Big 10, will routinely get roped on the national scene.

you leave because you are losing. not because you are dominating. why change your recipe for success?

[agoo758]

So much for our fanbase being classy. We probably still are, except for some of the pukes on this message board. One who is intelligent would figure that if they believed Nebraska to be as irrelevant and jerky as they claim it is, they would be perfectly happy with them leaving the conference.

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Here's my take on the whole thing.

A) This had nothing to do with strength of conference, win/loss record, etc. So lets forget about that idea

B) Texas wanted/needed Nebraska to either tow the party line or leave. And since Nebraska would never tow the party (read: Texas) line, they chose to leave. The whole expansion talk was nothing more than a ploy by Texas to force Nebraska's hand. They (Texas) just never thought Nebraska would follow thru and call UT's bluff.

C) Having Colorado also leave is a bonus. What else can they offer besides a stadium full of ****-filled balloons? Having them out of the Conference now opens the door to eliminating the CCG which Mack Brown has stated he was not in favor of.

What Texas wants, Texas gets

[agoo758]

Of course he doesn't favor it. It would require him to play a real game.

i firmly believe it does. i think if nebraska's football program was at their 1995 pinnacle, in 2010, none of this would be happening.

actually i dont think Texas cared one way or another what Nebraska would do. OU did, I'm sure.

agree. i also like the idea of a 10-team round-robin conference. though hate to see another old rival leave.

[Position Limit]

as much as i disagreed with a confrence champ game it was one of the few things that has made this confrence somewhat respectable the last several years. and had greatly benefited ou. face it, college football is very much about hype, especially the media variety. money talks and wins and loses walk. nebraska's future looks much brighter than than ou's right now. especially from a fans perpective.

[PalmBeachSooner]

Why does anyone give a crap about Nebraska leaving? I don't want to hear any crap about 'tradition'. The OU-Nebraska game has never been the same since the Big XII was formed.

as much as i disagreed with a confrence champ game it was one of the few things that has made this confrence somewhat respectable the last several years. and had greatly benefited ou. face it, college football is very much about hype, especially the media variety. money talks and wins and loses walk. nebraska's future looks much brighter than than ou's right now. especially from a fans perpective.

this is a bit, right?

you pullin our legs!

[badger]

I hope we go to a nine-game conference schedule, with us playing everyone else every season. Less whining when determining a conference champ.

I want to schedule non-conference games with Nebbish and CU after both leave. Immediately. Like, the first year they're out. Grudge matches for the win.

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Agreed.

Agreed.

I want it back. As soon as possible. I hope your fans do too. Think Dr. Ozzy would make it happen? Home and homes year in year out from here to eternity?

[soonerboomer93]

:D

Way to rationalize things. By the way...Mack Brown called....he's needing you guys to lick his *** clean

France just called, they want to thank you for being bugger pussies and running away faster then they do.

[King Barry's Back]

It's just crazy the vitriol that some are spewing. Well, I guess I'm not that surprised, as a lot of younger fans didn't get to experience the awesome respected rivalry in person.

I agree with you, though. I like the fact that I can cheer for the Sooners when they aren't playing NU.

fwiw, I still resent TX for ending the storied tradition of the Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry.

I am terribly disappointed that we will no longer play the Huskers, basically, ever.

Good luck with the Big Dogs of the Big Ten. hope that all works out for you.

BUT, let's face it, playing each other every other year at mid-season wasn't the same, and there was no way it was ever coming back.

So, hope you have fun if/when you get to Pasadena.

Hopefully we'll be playing a week later.

[GimmeRed]

I want it back. As soon as possible. I hope your fans do too. Think Dr. Ozzy would make it happen? Home and homes year in year out from here to eternity?

I'm going to guess it won't happen for a while. While the fans will want it the ADs won't.

I would guess we get Kansas back on our schedule pretty quick and maybe K-State or ISU after that.

[badger]

You know... Husker fans and Sooner fans alike once loathed Bill Callahan, but who would have known that the genius that hired him could see into the future back in 2003?


"I refuse to let the program gravitate into mediocrity. We won't surrender the Big 12 to Oklahoma and Texas."

Wow, so your program not only gravitated into mediocrity, but you also just surrendered the Big 12 to Oklahoma and Texas.

From a fan point of view, I would love to see an annual OOC game each year. Absolutely love it. As good as the RRS is, it pales in comparison to annual NU/OU games of the Big 8 days. I think Oz would be all for it as well but I don't get to make the decisions.

[SoonerShark]

I here Missouri is looking for a conference, and it doesn't have to be the Big 10.

Mountain Oyster Conference

[Leroyt]

If Neb is as "dominant" as they are now with an actual tx recruiting pipeline and a cakewalk north division then, yeah, they are coming out way better with a new "in" for rustbelt recruiting and possible Div.1 teams in their division. It's hilarious that anybody thinks ou or tx comes out worse than the bugeaters. puff-puff, PASS.:D

[Veritas]

You damn Huskers need to go find your own board. Losers.

[KantoSooner]

anybody else consider that we played Nebs and Texas every year for a long, long time....and it didn't seem to hurt our championship chances (we won six under that format).
I wouldn't be opposed to scheduling Nebs annually. Home and home or at a neutral site. It'd be earlier in the season, but it'd still be a battle.

and Nebraska would have the chance to see how their team would stack up against Div 1 competition in the post season. Something they are unlikely to see in the fatslowwhite10-11-12 conference.

[goingoneight]

:D

Way to rationalize things. By the way...Mack Brown called....he's needing you guys to lick his *** clean

Bob just put a call into Mack to shine up OUr SIX BIG 12 Championship trophies, BTW.

[sooner n houston]

I for one hate that we, OU, are now seen as UT's lap dog. The way we have been a yes man to them in the past few days is disgusting. I wish we had had the option of following NU to the Big 10. UT will eventually throw this confrence overboard, and if it suit them, us with it. How you people suddenly love and or trust UT is beyond my comprehension!

[rawlingsHOH]

Laughable.

[KantoSooner]

Much of the current perception is the work of the national sporting press. They are made up of modestly talented men (and a couple of equally mundane women) who must produce copy for their daily bread. That they produce 99% dreck and 1 % scores or photographs is, therefore, not surprising.
If Bob et co performs in October, hopefully in a stylish, 65-13 type manner, the talk will all be about how Texas got a tiger by the tail and hoo-boy aren't they sorry now.
Don't sweat it in the meantime. The only people whose opinions we should care about are other sooner fans.

Please identify yourselves as Sooner fans so that I am not confused. All the mentions of other conferences and rivals repeatedly during the past few weeks have me confused as to who is who anymore.

And for the record, I am badger, and I am a Sooner fan. :)

[Crimsontothecore]

Really? Seriously? Keep telling yourself that.

Nebraska left because they've seen the writing on the wall for years. Texas is the reason the SWC folded and Texas is the reason the Big 12 is the laughing stock of college football right now. Texas is the one who demanded there be a CCG. Texas is the one who demanded the CCG be played in Jerry's World each year. Texas is the one who demanded the Big 12 HQ be moved. Texas is the one who looked at moving conferences MONTHS ago but when told they wouldn't get their way, they took their ball and went home to pout. Texas is the one who put the conference in jeopardy and now they're viewed as "saviors"? B.u.l.l.s.h.i.t

The Big 12 has been and will continue to be full of uncertainty. Unless the Big 12 selects a Commisioner with brass cajones to stand up to Texas, the Big 12 will continue to struggle while the remaining conferences look on with eagerness hoping for any chance to pounce.

OU gets approximately $20 mil a year after the new tv contract is hammered out (maybe...at least that's what Texas is telling everyone) and Nebraska keeps it's self-respect and dignity. I think that's a pretty good deal for Nebraska.

We didn't throw away history. The Big 8 threw away history by allowing Texas to join the conference. From that point forward, IMO, Texas was not going to allow the OU/NU rivalry to continue and be forced to play second fiddle in the RRR. Your boys in power conceded. Does it suck walking away from that tradition and history? Absolutely. Does it suck not having to bow down to UT everytime them bastards throw a Texas size temper tantrum? Hell no!

OU would serve itself well by separating itself from the Big 12/Longhorn Conference. But until then, and despite your best efforts at trying to convince yourself otherwise, OU (and the other remaining schools) will still be Texas' bitch.

You can't be serious! "laughing stock of college football", really? In its 15 years, the Big12 has played for 8 national titles, won 3, and has had 4 Heisman winners. Face it, you NU fans have had a bad taste in your mouths ever since that horrible Mackovic coached horn team beat Osborns powerhouse in that first Big12 title game. Nebraska went into the toilet after Osborn bailed and NU has been relegated to the status of insignificance ever since...and they don't like it. Maybe the powers that be in Lincoln thought the Big10 looked good because Michigan is down and you figure Joe pa has to retire or die soon. Fact is, NU will be middle of the pack and will watch Ohio State, PSU, and Michigan make all the decisions.
By the way, here's the REAL definition of Laughing Stock: A team who get's spanked on their home field by Iowa State.
On second thought, I guess you can't blame the Big10 for wanting to roll out another doormat.

[Herr Scholz]

huskers, OU and UT are partners. The Sooners are nobody's lapdog. We'll keep this conference going until it suits us to go somewhere else.

A few things about the big bad bully Texas running you off:

neb was the only school to vote against a raise in academic requirements
neb was the only school to vote against a Big XII title game
neb was the only school to vote against the Big XII offices moving to Dallas
neb was the only school to vote against Jerry World.

Where's the disdain towards the other 10 members who voted against you time and again? Perhaps you girls who were the ones who couldn't play nice with others and took your ball home when you didn't get your way.

And neb has ALWAYS voted against equal revenue sharing in this conference because it suited you, because you made more money than anyone else not named UT and OU. The huskers made a good move to a quality conference, no doubt, but the spin and excuses of why are simply ridiculous.

[NatureBoy]

I have read just about every Big10 board (or team board) I can find, and I haven't seen ONE Big10 fan claim that Ohio State runs the show. Not one.

OU bent over and took it from the rear from Bevo. It's sad to see a great program like OU feel the need to be anyone's bitch.

[Herr Scholz]

OU did no such thing. They made a good business decision that benefitted them just like Texas. And we were working together. To believe otherwise is simply uninformed.

[NatureBoy]

And suddenly you have all the information, right? You better fight hard, because the national perception is that the conference is Texas and its 9 whores.

From a PSU fan:

Thank you, Longhorns!

Thank you for declining any overtures by the BigTen to join its conference. Thank you for deciding that joining the BigTen wasn’t in your best interests. Because it wasn’t until recently that I, a fan of Penn State and the BigTen, realized that your joining probably wasn’t in OUR best interests. You’ve got a great intercollegiate athletics program, that’s for sure. And your academics are certainly on par with the best public colleges in the country. You enjoy a large in-state population and a large and devoted fan base. Many conferences would line up to sign up the Longhorns. The Pac10 did and was willing to also take your unremarkable in-state siblings to secure your allegiance. The BigTen considered a lesser conference schedule for you to facilitate retaining your traditional rivalry games. You certainly are the belle of the ball. But as is often the case, the belle of the ball - - the pretty girl who has the world at her feet - - is also a conniving, self-centered, high-maintenance female dog.

These are not the words of a jilted courter of your affections. These are the words of someone who has come to understand the meaning of the word conference. An organization of EQUALS with common interests and whose decisions are guided to benefitting the value of the conference brand over the individual member brand. Conference members work together and share equally that which is produced by the group. To you, a conference is merely a recurring set of athletics opponents that can be exploited to serve your interests over that of the collective group. Your interest in preserving the BigXII was hardly a heroic or magnanimous gesture to save those less prestigious programs that would suddenly find themselves without a home. No, your interests in saving the conference were to leverage your marquee value to grab an even larger slice of the conference revenue pie.

You are King of the BigXII conference and you sit in a higher, padded chair at the head of a long conference table while your subjects sit on foot stools at the far end. The BigTen conference table is a round table, with neither a head nor foot and all chairs are of equal height and comfort. You would have found it uncomfortable at our table even as you elbowed for more space or a better view. And we would have found your company unbearable once we saw past your fair looks. A sincere “thank you” is owed to you and a word of caution is offered. Don’t be surprised if one day, your subjects storm the castle with torches and barbeque spits - - as slaughtered Longhorn would make a fine feast.

Just how many BigXII championships have the huskers won since it started? I'm waiting.

[NatureBoy]

Osborne no doubt had a period in which he struggled in the bowl games. 7 losses in a row, but NU was the underdog each time, and NU faced a Top4 team in each game.

It takes a lot to reach a bowl game in which you're facing a Top5 ranked team.

So yes, Osborne struggled. But he left the game winning 3 of 4 National Championships...not a bad way to go out.

[rawlingsHOH]

3 > 1


7 > 5

Oh I am sorry, I forgot Stoops won 7 national championships, which was what the argument was about right?

[HappyClappyMackBrown]

Osborne lost about 15 straight bowls before he ever won his first NC -- which came after he'd been a HC for over 2 decades.


It was an annual ritual if you don't remember -- get punked by Switzer and then choke away another bowl game.


Work hard in the offseason -- repeat process.


Stoops in Year 11 >>>>>>>> Osborne in Year 20.

Not my belief at all. I think Stoops is a great coach who has had a recent struggle in some big games. He also had a history of winning big games, so I don't see it as a big deal.

I think the direction of this thread was set by the first post, calling Nebraska "sluts" and "bitches." It's only gotten worse from there.

I've seen that picture many times, but I never heard the male was mentally disabled. I think you're assuming that it's widely known, when perhaps it isn't.

Posting it while knowing of his condition is out of line, continuing to post it is out of line, and posting 5 pics in a row is just plain stupid.

This whole thing will be humourous in december, when Nebs has won the North and then gets hammered within an inch of its life by little old OU.

The week before the NU-OU game, Sooner fans were predicting Oklahoma to win. Most were picking OU to win by 10+.

That's just not Sooner fans, that's Sooner fans on this very board. Then after the loss, the excuses came. "Oh, we're beat up and injured." Well, hell, you knew that going into the game, right?

The last one is an intelligent, insightful conversation about the merits of NU being in it's new conference.



Huskers93, the point of the article is not to disrespect any school not named Notre Dame or Texas. Rather it is to point out that this is about the future shape of college athletics (read "the money of college athletics"). While your football team has great history, this matter is actually about the financial marketability of 11 member institutions. An invitation into this select group of universities is based upon adding to the clout of the Big Ten Network. Notre Dame, with its national reach, and Texas, with the massive TV markets across that state are real prizes. In that context, you must see where Lincoln and Omaha simply don't measure up by comparison. If it was just about football, your point has merit. But Big Ten expansion really is about money.

I believe it is trolled in this case.:D

[Veritas]

Husker fans are teh ghey.

[BudSooner]

Husker fans are teh ghey.
This week they are, coming around like Zombies looking for brains....well that would make a great deal of sense now that I think about it.

I believe that standing in the cornfields, as a young man with little in the way of female companionship(that doesn't weigh more than a JD tractor)tends to make the male version of the children of the corn apt to acts of downright sillyness.

Acts of rage knowing that their football sucks,weeks upon weeks of constant masturbation have driven them to a state where the human brain can no longer exist and then the body starts to go, feeding on itself to the point that the Zusker(Zombie-Husker)needs to feed upon a victims brains to survive.



It's quite sad really.:D

[KantoSooner]

'Zusker'

I like that. I'll have to use it on a couple of such who I know.

[Theskipster]

It is a hell of a lot more than that.

Nebraska will forfeit around $8,000,000 this year.

And remember, they are not a full financial partner in the Big 10 next year. They will only receive around $10,000,000 from the Big 10 in 2011.

[badger]

What money?

Well, you have to pay for your pizza, sir.

[KantoSooner]

So, am I correct in my math:

They get zippo this year (well, they keep their gate), then $10 in '11? So they're more or less down about $8-10 bucks over the next two seasons? then they get the standard B10-11-12 payout? So, we're talking the '13 season before this business move goes 'black' for the. With opportunity costs factored in, they're looking at summer '15 before this move makes financial sense.
Wow.

[BudSooner]

Well they do sell those swell Herbie Husker bobbleheads, so they got that going for them. ;)

Latest totals of revenue sharing for the Big XII



2008-2009
1. Oklahoma, $12.2 million
2. Texas, $11.8 million
3. Kansas, $11.5 million
4. Missouri, $10.4 million
5. Texas A&M, $10.2 million
6. Oklahoma State, $10.0 million
7. Colorado, $9.77 million
8. Nebraska, $9.73 million
9. Texas Tech, $9.2 million
10. Baylor, $9.1 million
11. Iowa State, $8.9 million
12. Kansas State, $8.4 million


Nebraska will forfeit 80% of their portion of the revenue sharing from now until July 1, 2011. Then they will receive the same amount they were normally receiving while in the Big XII from the Big 10. And they will continue to receive that amount until a later year that has already been determined but will not be announced.

So assuming that the numbers don't change too much from the 2008 season, Nebraska will forfeit 80% of 10 mil then only get paid $10 mil for at least a couple years. Probably 3 or 4.

I'm picturing Stewie Griffin beating Brian over the head with a golf club and saying, "where's my money, man?"

Dr. Ozzy couldn't even get his own beloved state of Nebraska to vote him into office. He probably does not know what he got his school into... but time will tell.

I know Nebby fans are nicenicenice, but a bunch of bad years in the Big Ten will change all of that fan support and era of good feelings, much like it made their fans storm out at halftime of Homecoming during Callyburger's last season (and Steve Pederson's last event as AD, lol)

Be careful tredding there. Our beloved state didnt vote in Bud either. He was like a demi-God here.

Dr. Tom and NU did what was best for them. Personally, and only time will tell if Im right, I think they made the best decision for them. I cant understand anyone wanting to stay in a dead conference over going to a robust one.

I dont see them having too many bad years in the Big X.

Good point. I'll leave the politics for the South Oval :D

We were playing OSU and I was at that game. I live out of state and I get to go to maybe 1 or 2 games a year. I was one of those fans who walked out at half time. It was the worst game I have ever watched!! Any high school team could have beat them that day. I never thought I would walk out at a Husker game but I felt as did many others, that the University needed a wake up call. If they did not make a change, that would have happened again and again. I think they got the message.

[badger]

SS, I might have stayed just to honor the 1997 championship team at halftime and the coach... if the 1985 team and barry switzer showed up at halftime of a game, even if OU was getting slayed, I would probably have to stay.

Then again, we haven't had to endure a lot of embarrassment on-field lately, cept perhaps BCS games, so I won't try to judge you all for walking out. :P

When I saw the end of that game, I got to see you score your first touchdown... I remember the announcers saying that the few remaining fans that held onto their balloons that long sarcastically let them fly after that. Lol.

Dr. Oz after the game apparently said he was worried that after such a result that Coach Callyburger wouldn't let him ever visit for a game again. Then, suddenly, Oz is your interim (and still) athletic director and he's at every football practice. hehe.

[NormanPride]

I'm going to miss Nebraska. We went up for this past year's game and I had an awesome time, even though we lost (and looked bad doing it). The fans were all really nice, and the town is very pretty, if not flatter than your middle school prom date. :D

[Bourbon St Sooner]

We actually have an offense this year, and lest we forget we were a "made up last second rule" away from winning the Big XII last year.

Clearly, Pelini could never match big choke stoops. I mean Bob is 4 and 10 in his last 14 "big games", thats what legans are truly made of.

Also....


Go away corn aggie. We hear that we're on the rise crap every year from our halloween sporting aggies. You guys last won a conference championship when? Same sh!t. Different year.

[Bourbon St Sooner]

The biggest reason to hate children of the corn now - they're making us agree with whorns.

Look bugeater, if you have to brag about beating a 7-5 team at home when your only td drive was all of 2 yards, you're aggie. Please go to the rust belt 10 boards corn aggie!

[Mississippi Sooner]

Funny that the final word on the Bugeaters is going on 12 pages and counting.

I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. I think Nebraska has some really nice fans. I really can't say that I have had problems with any fans except maybe Colorado's. I went to the OU/NU Big 12 Championship game and I did run in to some drunk NU fans that were pretty unruly. They were drunk (younger) and mouthy until OU scored and then they disappeared. Nebraska has some bad fans but I think most schools do.

[PLaw]

Methinks Osborn will be sounding like Frank Broyles in about five years. As Frank recently said, "When we left the SWC, we lost our rivaleries". I think he went on to say it was a poor, short sided decision.

BOOMER

Most of me doesn't want to join in this thread (it has turned quite sour to say the least), but I will respond to this logical post. I understand your opinion. But Osborne was looking far past five years. Yes, it is sad to leave, as he stated. But sadly, and it pains me to say this... The ou/nu rivalry was OVER with the creation of the big 12. We (Nebraska) have no other rivalries. And so it is....


I am born and raised a Husker, and it saddens me to know that our rivalry is completely over. And as a Husker fan, I will root for Oklahoma, minus a game against us. I understand many of you are upset. I can't change that. But...the best to you, and cheers to what once was....magnificent. :-)

[delhalew]

I hate to step on the good will, but...way to blow up a bridge on your way out with Osborne's statement.
I feel like Nebraska can go to hell.
Lobby for an OOC game late in the season and I will forgive you.

[SCSooner71]

I personally would have loved Oklahoma to come to the SEC. Would have been some shorter drives for me to see them play...I live in South Carolina. Nonetheless Im happy they didnt go out further west.

[Flagstaffsooner]

For those of you who don't want to read this entire thread I have a brief summary of what was said here.

I heard Nebraska may try to dodge paying the fee based on the contractual clause they only have to "....If damages are suffered by the conference...."....They may say their leaving the conference turned out to be a benefit because the pot is divided by fewer teams

Help me understand something here. Does the Big 12 stay as is thru 2012 , or what? When do Colo & Neb actually leave? OR is the fine/fee for them leaving before a two year period or somehting like that?

Neb screwed up when they fired Solich. He was a good coach.

Neb is out in 2011. CU in 2012, although I could see us letting them go sooner so we can get on with the round robin 10 team dealio.

[Crimson Kid]

Of course he doesn't favor it. It would require him to play a real game.


Umm...... didn't stoops say he doesn't favor a CCG?

[delhalew]

Umm...... didn't stoops say he doesn't favor a CCG?

Yes he did...which I think is odd. Considering we practically own the Big 12 championship game.

[huskerland]

gotta agree with the huskers on this one. they left with dignity intact. and did what was best for them. they've seen the writing on the wall for years. they held a small but decent hand and played it. and it will pay off big time. business is business and nebraska knows it. boren and castiglione had a great hand and tons of leverage and pissed it away to texas. all for a few million more. what a shame. good god this is embarrassing. best of luck to you huskers. Finally, someone not talking smack! I don't see how the Huskers could turn down the Big 10/11 offer, I've heard figures of as high as 300 mil for research. This is a huge move forward for Nebraska. For the young Sooner fans that say the Huskers threw away tradition are just to young to remember Tom and Barry playing golf together. That's were pride is built! I appreciate the fact that this particular poster has a clear view as to what's realy going on in the politics of football and the fact that the Huskers have studied all of it's options and are doing what they believe is best for the University!

I hope the Sooners have success against the Longhorns every year!

Go sooners!:pop:

Neb screwed up when they fired Solich. He was a good coach.OU screwed up when they fired Smellyburger ( National Champion) and Blake (recruited players for your only NC in a couple decades), they were good coaches.

Seriously? Frank was a good coach? He was the reason the Cornhuskers disappeared from being the only Elite member of the Big XII after it was formed. He had Eric Crouch left..........Eric Crouch right........Eric Crouch up the middle for a couple years and then it was bowl trips to Shreveport.

If he were a decent coach he wouldnt be coaching the Mighty Bobcats from Ohio and coaching a decent team somewhere.

The only thing Franky ever did was beat lil Bobby Stoops, but being the king of choke artists makes this a less than mild accomplishment

You are a Husker fan? Seriously? Seriously. Sit down and have a talk with just about every college football coach in the country about Solich! Stoops, Osborne, Pelini, Gill...ANYONE!

One would think, after suffering through the Evil Empire of Pederson (excuse me, I just threw up!) and Callahan, that the lesson would have been learned in its entirety. Apparently NOT.

I won't resound to your response, other than to say please have a conversation with any of the above names about the firing of Solich before you get back to me. Geez...

Geez...Have a talk with any coach about Solich? Ok how about Milt Tenopir........know his son for 3 decades and have discussed what every rational person already knew as they watched the Huskers dissolve into getting smoked by anyone ranked, CU 62 points, KState ( repeatedly), PSU...etc etc.

I cant even talk about it because loosing in Shreveport and watching Franky fire a bunch of Husker legend coaches makes me want to throw up not a little, but ALOT.

Go back to the BRB! Milt also supported Callahan, etc., so spare me. Talk to pelini and get back to me. This is utterly ridiculous.

I bet you were upset when Pederson was fired, too. Please. Just stop.

[The Bones are Back]

I bet you were upset when Pederson was fired, too. Please. Just stop.Go back to the be right back? Not sure why Milt wouldnt support Callahan, Milt and his O-Lines WERE Nebraska Football. McBride was Nebraska Football, lets talk to him. We can talk to Turner Gill as well. Whats Pelini going to say about Solich seriously " He hired me!" Maybe he would call him an offensive genius or an amazing recruiter.

Frank was a tough as nails Fullback , Box man for Tom, and an incredible position coach but the second he hired Dave Gillispie and chased Crouch to Omaha it was apparent he had no business coaching the Cornhuskers. Bobcats yes

[huskerland]

So Dr. Tom just trashed generations of tradition and respect for what exactly??
Oh yeah, only a little more money (maybe) and to play third or 4th fiddle to Meatchicken and tOSU, and eventually ND. ( just wait, you think * was hard to deal with? HAHAHAHA)

Hope it is all worth it.

So enjoy your new rust belt friends.It was a choice that had to be made: Tom didn't trash generations of Tradition. It was ended! Husker fans will always respect OU and never forget the tradition that was! It may be the same choice you will have to make someday and I wish you all the best! We could meet in an out of conference game but, will texas allow it? Think about it! BTW, OU is a team that I've torn up a lot of hats over when they would lose a game,

I know you're not implying Texas has ANY say in our OOC scheduling. WTF are you thinking?

[The Bones are Back]

A Pedey and Callahan apologist. Still haven't learned your lesson, I see.Pedey ( as you call him) was a major component to our Domination during the 90s....Tom recommened him as our AD for this reason, then again Tom picked Solich so he had a hand in destroying the Huskers once in my opinion, and once in yours. Guess we're even. I have nothing against Callahan but seriously disliked Cosgroves travestry.

Pedersons mistake was in not firing Solich much sooner as we were getting slapped around by everyone with a heartbeat ( ranked, and unranked)
