Seriously?

The stuff I say absolutely makes no sense, that's the terrible part, at least in Osbornes case that is. Why people worship him is beyond belief but I sort of "get it" if I lower my morals especially when thinking of all the dealings between him and the Lincoln Police department regarding players. I can live with the fact that he tried his hardest to intensify the split in Husker nation since his buddy got fired for driving the Huskers off a cliff landing into a burning pile of debris called a loss in Shreveport just a few years after we were a Dynasty. ( Chicken Chit Golf Tourneys anyone?) I can also see why when he took over as AD he felt the need to lie to Husker fans about how the walk-on program was destroyed, Players were shunned from Lincoln, and the culture had changed and all his other BS ramblings because he may have dementia or something but when people on here tell me OU thinks it's Nebraska Rivalry means more than it's Texas Red River Shootout..........that's where I guarantee you are delusional beyond comprehensions. Then someone tries to tell me College Football on matters starting in 1970 and that OU had a guaranteed win against Texas throughout the 70's, 80's, and 90's Someone's full of crap all right but it certainly isn't me. And since you're such the "Better Fan" by shoving your head in the sand or in other orifices, let me guess Im supposed to be stoked about our new found mediocrity as well correct?

It's insanity to listen to some of this gibberish and think people are being serious, I've heard and been known to say the B1G is weak, the reason is because they are weak, once we joined them all of a sudden our schedule is listed as Brutal, it's so nice to be among the most knowledgeable fan base. At least I learned OU is scared of Nebraska and Texas fabricated the entire Red River shootout to aid OU in their chicken-chitted-ness

It was never the rivalry to them that it was to us, Texas was their real rival, I would hardly call it chickening out. We had a special game 40 years ago..... then Switzer proceeded to own Osborne.(12-5) and basically we became the CU Buffs in that we cherished the " Rivalry " more than they did. You must be too young to realize that OU vs NU was for a shot at the MNC almost every year....the UT "rivalry" was fabricated by UT and the Big 12 to seem as if it was a bigger rivalry. That is why UT made it a point to kill the annual NU vs OU game so their game could take over for OU main rival. The reason for this is that for most of the 70's-90's, UT was nothing more than another guaranteed OOC win as OU annually smacked them around like the little sisters of the poor. Actually I think you may be too young to call the Red River Shootout a UT fabrication, it's almost hilarious that you choose 70s-90s to exaggerate your point that appears that the NU-OU game determined the National Champion which in OUs case maybe, ours.........not so much other than the Game of the Century. Now lets look at how OU dominated Texas annually in your choice of decades For some reason you completely skip the 60s where OU won 1 game in that decade of shootouts. So College football started in 70 for what reason? ( we both know the answer) Texas won the game in 70,77, ( sound familiar?) 79,80,81,83,89,90,91,92,94,97,98,99 so in 30 years Texas won 14. Sounds like a Guaranteed win to me, almost as Guaranteeing as a Switzer win over Tom eh? You are old enough to remember that domination and guaranteed win right? How arrogant of some to imply some schools rivalries are nothing but a fabrication especially when said rivalry had leaps and bounds more National Championship implications over the last 100+ years than NU-OU could ever dream of. Whos rivalry you going to poop on next....Michigan-tOSUs? You sound like a whinny Texass fan. After their split MNC in 1969, UT never threatened for another MNC until VY. OU had a crappy decade trying to replace Switzer.....does that sound like another school? Replacing a legend isn't so easy. Your last line about MNC implications is just plain ignorance. UM vs tOSU is a great rivalry, but it rarely has much to do with MNC's as the B1G has been down for a long time.....not as bad as it is now, but it hasn't been a good conference for awhile. Until it finally joined the BCS, the Rose Bowl was pretty much was played to determine who would finish #15 in the polls. Great tradition, but in the big picture it was a meaningless game. It's sad what the ACC has done to the Orange Bowl, which used to be pretty much the MNC game almost on a yearly basis. If sounding like a whiney texass fan means backing up what I say with facts, great, it sure beats the crap out of your babble, I get it, Texas owns our ass BIGTIME and it sucks but.......... first you say Texas was OUs doormat and when I posted the facts you don't respond, why......because if Texas was their doormat than so were we because we boast the same record against them. You say my last line about MNC implications are ignorance when the winner of the Red River shootout was in the BCS National Championship game 6 times in the 2000s. All of this after saying Texas basically fabricated the Red River Shootout. Now I would love to have College football only contain the years 70-71 and 94-95 and 97 as to act like we are all that matters in College football but to call the Red River Shootout a fabrication that pales in comparison to the importance of the NU-OU "rivalry" has to be fueled by a chemical imbalance or plain lack of college football history ( Mainly current, as in the entire last decade) I was only joking when I suggested you poop on Michigan-tOSU, never for a moment did I think you would have the audacity to actually do it. If now we could only get your take on the Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State

Well my first season tickets were purchased in 1970 and held until 97, when I moved away from Lincoln. If you search my posts you will see that I announced Tom Osbornes retirement weeks ago in a post, well before the media was " allowed" to be privy to such info. It's laughable for someone to question my "fandom" with my connections to Husker football but then again I don't lock step to BS because someone won a couple National Championships ( or at least the staff did) then proceeded to preserve their legacy by assuring the Huskers mediocrity. I call um like I see them and I have seen a lot in my 50+ years of following the Cornhuskers .

Well actually yes, much more than the Sooners

Exactly. Those who think that the move to the Big 10 was all about winning more football games a year are so ignorant to the real world they shouldnt even be allowed to breath. In fact, football competitiveness was probably the very VERY last thing on the list of reasons. And I dont even know why I'm commenting on this right now. We all know exactly why we left the Big XII, the same reason the student section was crapped on, the same reason the fan base was even more split during it's upheaval during the Solich/Callahan/ and now Bo years using Golf events and statements that were meant to entice the split. We get it, poor Tom was bullied at the Big XII inception and didn't get his way as a Div1 coach ( that liked to play AD as well in picking Solich) All we really had to do is play competent football and nothing the Big XII did would matter, sort of like beating Miami in Miami. Jerry Jones land was the obvious venue, why are we not concerned with Indy all of a sudden? Didn't seem to matter when we played the inaugural Big XII Championship game I attended in 96 in a dome in dowtown St. Louis And the statement in bold is so ludicrous and such a fact-skipping list accusations that I just rubbed a hole in my head. surprise, surprise, at least I didn't bring up the Lincoln Police Departments views of our meddling in their business, probably because it has nothing to do with people saying OU is scared of Nebraska And I can assure you no facts were skipped, there's plenty more where those came from

Exactly! So when one says " OU is Chicken chits and scared of Nebraska" maybe the entire South division could say the same about Nebraska not wanting to play " them every year in a Championship Game ( which benifits the entire conference) So with partial qualifiers and not wanting a Championship game who sounds scared? Not OU

Everything you said in that statement is complete BS, Gary Gibbs and his 45-10 stomping of Tom was still fresh in the minds of the Sooners when the Big XII was formed. I'm pretty sure the Sooners knew they would be back in a matter of time, our rivalry to them was like ours was with CU, it just wasn't as big as what we Husker fans wanted it to be.

What I understand is that you like to call OU chickenchits and say they were scared of us when they actually had legit reasons for their decisions. What team was OU supposed to dump off their schedule to make ours happen, they were in a different Division. All for a Game of the Century and us beating Bud Wilkinson? We straight up ran because of some lousy officiating at an A&M game and the fact we couldn't beat Texas..........including in 96 so poor Tom is getting bullied.....whatever. OK...obviously you have absolutely no clue as to the facts of how the Big 12 was formed and the facts as to the run up to us moving to the BigTen. No use arguing with someone who doesn't choose to look at the facts. Actually I know exactly what happened, you can use equal revenue rights all you want but we all know the deal. In the end the Buffs played our hand for Harvey so all turned out well but from its inception, the Big XII was doomed with the south having all the money and even then the conference was formed because of TV rights. None of this matters, I used this as an example for someone claiming OU was soooo scared of Nebraska thats why they opted out of jumbling up divisions and forcing the southern division to figure out a way to jumble scheduling for Nebraska to play OU because Husker fans saw this as a rivalry. You never answered my question, which teams were OU going to dump out of their division to make our yearly game happen since it's so easy? You're attention span is unbelievable And, once again you prove obviously don't know the facts. Really? it all started when you said THIS "They chickened out because we wanted to keep the game every year but they didn't want to have to play us and Texas every year. At the time (mid 90s) we were the most dominant program in the country and they stunk. Texas wasn't a dominant program either so they stuck with Texas and ran away from playing us every year." Your attention span is unbelievable

:funnyhahah :funnyhahah :funnyhahah :funnyhahah :funnyhahah :funnyhahah We left a favoring division, who would do anything to make sure their "elite" would make it to a BCS bowl game. I am not even going to get into it, but by far, B1G has stiffer opponents in bowl games, as most face SEC teams. Last year the B1G was much more of a tougher conference than the B12. This year, I would say the same. You might have the argument about WV, but they have no defense, haven't played anyone with a strong defense and a potent offense, so they have yet to even be tested yet. Geno Smith is good, and will most likely win Heisman, but with no defense, it will be hard to go undefeated. If you didn't understand the context of what I was saying to someone saying OU was sooooo scared of us they fled our so called rivalry for the 110 year old Red River Shootout then so be it. To the entire Big XII ( and most of the nation) we appear as about as chickenchit fleeing to a weak conference, regardless I was using this as an example. Kettle meet Pot if you will, OU had legitimate reasons, some say we do too. Now that Texas A&M, Mizzou and the Buffs are all gone maybe the Big XII and Big Ten are on sort of equal ground but not when we " Left / Ran" Red River shootout = Six of the ten showings in the 200-2010 era featured one of the participants in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game (2000, 2003–05, and 2008–09) The game typically has conference or even national significance. Since 1945, one or both of the two teams has been ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation coming into 61 out of 66 games. Who is OU going to Pick? Texas said the same thing about Texas A&M when the whole SEC thing came about Seriously? you are seriously and idiot. OU didn't have to pick between Texas and Neb. They could have had a protected cross over game like the SEC did and like the Big Ten does now. You are also dead wrong about the OU-NEB rivalry. Many of my good friends are OU fans and I still catch crap about leaving and 'killing' the rivalry when every NEB fan knew the rivalry was already dead by not playing every year. However, as many posters have already mentioned, it isn't worth arguing with someone who blatantly disregards information and the facts out there. That's funny most of my Sooner fans dating back from the 70s see the Red River shootout as much more important than anything the Cornhusker-Sooner rivalry which basically started when we dethroned Bud Wilkinson could offer up in 94 at the inception of the Big XII. I know as Husker fans it was our Rivalry but OU had a much bigger rivalry. No one said they had to pick between OU and Texas but someone had to be picked as the one that didn't matter, who was this to be.....Baylor, then Texas Tech, who?
