  1. "No his point was that Nebraska warned about the Texas centric swing" What does this even mean? I'd like you to name one important conference vote (revenue sharing, use of partial qualifiers, location of conference HQ, location of conference title game, etc.) where EVERY SINGLE TEAM (except for Nebraska) didn't vote EXACTLY THE SAME as Texas. When the rest of the conference acts in unanimity, why is that called a "Texas centric swing" ? Also, how can you say the blog writer took it too literally as "Nebraska warned us about the Longhorn network." That was EXACTLY what Tramel said. Here is Tramel's direct quote: "Just what Nebraska warned could happen is happening. The Texas network is causing all kinds of problems." You are kind of all over the map here. I think there is a big disconnect between what Tramel actually said and what your emotions make you think about the situation.
  2. Nebraska had 1 win in ten tries against Texas in the Big 12. Even is Nebraska wins only 2 games out of their first ten against every Big Ten school, Texas still looks good. Not much of a dilemma.......
  3. "We all figured NU, OU, and TX would have their own networks. That those networks programming would be limited to the one or two would-have-been-PPV non-conference games that didn't make it on other networks at most in football" So, your argument against that blog post is that Texas violated some hard and fast rule that existed in your mind about how a single school network should be run?!? Wow.....and don't think for a second Nebraska wouldn't have tried to maximize revenue/viewership in every way possible if the Huskers had come out with their own network. These are some very smart men running Nebraska athletics. Also, Tramel's whole point is that Nebraska "warned" everyone about what was coming with the Longhorn network and left because of it BUT your point is that the Longhorn Network is doing something unexpected. Is Tramel right? Did Nebraska anticipate this? Either Tramel is very wrong in his point or you are very wrong in yours.....which is it?
  4. The state of Texas produces roughly 400 FBS level football players a year. Texas can only sign about 20. Those kids have to go somewhere.
  5. Tramel ignored a lot of facts: http://cfbmeltdown.blogspot.com/2011/07/berry-tramel-is-ing-idiot.html
