Just a question to see how you all feel? Should the OU vs. NU be played every year or are you happy with the current setup we have in the BIG 12? I would like to play your team every year.
What are your thoughts.

Callahan killed it for me....dissed the OU fandom and drug the program into a gutter. NU is just another team in the Big 12 north.

Callahan was an idiot from day 1, most if not all Husker fans will say that and his remarks towords your team were no taken well here either.Originally Posted by swardboy
What was...was and will never be the same again. As swardboy said, it is just another game against a Big 12 North team now. Just like if OU-Texas was moved to a home and home series, it would be a "bigger" home game than most other Big 12 South games but it would never be the Red River Shootout. The qualities that make it "special" would just be lost in the change.
Yes, would like to see the series restarted.
It's just entertainment!

play 11 conference games in the big 12 with one non conference game.......
thread ovar............
oh wait....nevar mind, not such a great idea
The inception of the Big XII killed OU/Nebraska...
Every time 2 big XII teams play each other one of them has to lose. Not a very good way to show a strong conference.play 11 conference games in the big 12 with one non conference game.......

Sorry but the Big 8 screwed the pooch when we let in four Texas teams and let this series fall by the side, and chose to have a championship game to make matters worse.
But weren't we just another Big 8 team/Big 12 team before Stoops arrived? Didn't Nebraska beat us by 60+ back then? We came back from the dead. Yeah, they made a bad decision on a head coach. But didn't we do the same? Remember Schnelly and Blake?
I would like to play this game every year. Nebraska has the tradition like we do. That doesn't go away because of Callahan. Of all the old Big 8 teams, I think Nebraska is the one we should play every year.
Despite the fact that by letting in the more moneyed members of the SWC, the NCAA essentially unzipped its fly on the Big 8, I have a real hard time arguing against any sort of CCG. Especially when two years ago, having a CCG made OU-Nebraska relevant again, and having been there, I can say what a wonderful feeling that was. The best moment of the game for me was shortly before pregame, standing on the sidelines, and walking over to tell some Nebraska fans how much I loved their sign, which read "OU-Nebraska. The way it should be. God bless the Big 8." Nothing but respect for UNL.
"It was once said—only half facetiously—that the three greatest organizations the world has ever known were the Imperial German Army, the Roman Catholic Church and the Standard Oil Company. Inasmuch as the Imperial German Army was demobilized in 1918, it is doubtless high time that a new candidate be proposed to fill out the triumvirate, and one strong contender—most sport fans would agree—is the University of Oklahoma football team." ~ Tex Maule, Sports Illustrated, November 18, 1957
Well I am looking foreword to the game this weekend, wish I could be there!!
Next year when the game is in Lincoln I hope the Huskers are better and OU is at the top of thier game, I always enjoy buying drinks for a Sooner fan win or lose.
I think that Pelini is going to turn Nebraska around, and get them back on top of the north. I also think that he is not a pile of dooshfaggery with a headset like his predecessor. Those two things will help restore the rivalry, imo. I dont think that a single Sooner or Husker fan really like the two year rotation.
I grew up watching the great games of the 70's and 80's, but I don't lose any sleep over not playing them every year now days. Osborne and Callahan lost nearly all of the reverence for the rivalry that I used to have.
Come on how did Osborne lose it for you? I can see the idiot Callahan. We took a beating at times under TO and TO repaid those beatings, You all have the upper hand on that.
Really? Show me where Switzer rubbed Nebraska's nose in the dirt and ran up 69+ points on Osborne.
Will the moderators pin this for the week?

I'm kind of surprised that so many of you guys don't want this rivalry back... It was always TX & Nebraska, but we actually had a pretty respectful rivalry with UNL. It was a nice break from the hatred with TX. I don't consider OSU a rivalry because I don't consider them...
Hopefully, we can renew the rivalry in the Big 12 Championship game each year, provided Nebraska can start getting back to that game, a prospect that appears to be getting progressively more likely as time goes by in the B12 North.
