Go GREEN!!!!! good luck Husker Nation, cheers to a slobberfester knockdown smashmouth game. MSU 20 Nebraska 17

Relax, right now your the new transfer pretty girl where all the guys fake an accent to make a good impression, give it a few years, you will pick your enemies within the Big Ten and the Trash Talk will commence. However all Big Ten teams except the scum in Ann Arbor respect the others program......They all have positives in some way.

Under, States LB are good in coverage O/U Martinez throws 1 pick in the red zone?

What Martinez said was not inflametory, but it also wasn't very intellegent. It was very condesending to aknowledge the #2 Defense in the Nation, the week your playing them as just another good Big Ten Defense. Reality is NOT Reality....Perception is Reality. If a team feels slighted or lacks respect from an opponet, it will not get them fired up more in a game of this magnitude, but it will give each 11 players in the game at anyone time have a rally, focal point. A specific slight that can be micro managed into furry (instead of a general rally point, like we need to win to get closer to Indy).

Yes he was pretty good. I also think OH marching band, spelling it out is pretty impressive. I never understood why Native americans would take offense to having their culture, or what ever, being brought front and center. It's not their culture. It's a caricature, it's modern day black-face minstrelsy. I mean, we (as in white people) systematically wiped them (Native Americans) off the face of the continent over the course of a century that makes the holocaust look like playtime, and you're wondering why Native Americans might take offense when we think it's cool to name our sports teams stuff like the "Redskins?" Why not have a team called the "Fightin' Field Hands" with a black mascot who has giant pink lips and just goes around eating watermelons? Ive never faced palmed or sprayed Ice in a goalies face but yet Hercules consider you face palmed and sprayed. The Illinois Chief was nothing but a proud warrior. Not sure of your Big Ten School affiliation, but I consider you one of the dumbest. Your trying to hide an Ace card when ya got a duece.

From M fan" MichiganState: You will not hate Michigan State at first. Until they finally beat you. Then you will hate Michigan State. That one win is all you'll hear about until your ears bleed. It won't matter if you beat them the next 9 years in a row, that one win is all you'll hear about. Nobody gets more mileage out of one win per decade than Michigan State. ____________________________________________________________________________________ This is from a member of a school that has lost to us 3 years in a row, A school that was very afraid to vote us in the Bug 10, the vote was 8-1 favor of MSU when Univ of Chicago gave an opening and then they lobbied the State Senate to veto the Big 10's vote. A school that wouldn't play us in East Lansing till they were forced to when we joind the Big Ten in 1953 we had something like 40 aways games prior. A school that counts all time NCAA victories against High School teams thsy played in the early 1900's. A team that since the modern area of college football, (most agree 1950 to present) has one shared NC that was stolen from Nebraska! he is very right in one reguard though,,,,, they are the Arrogant Asses of the Big 10!!!!!

Culture is the biggest thing. I think we had common culture with everyone from Oklahoma north, but once the Texas schools showed up, the culture changed dramatically, and we no longer fit. Colorado never really fit, either - they're far more a West Coast school than a Midwest school. They'll prosper in the Pac-12. We'll prosper in the Big Ten, if for no other reason than the fact that we're so very much like Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Sparty, Ohio State, etc. We're unlike PSU and Northwestern, but not so tribly much so that we can't find common ground. It seemed like, no matter what happened, we just could not get on the same page as Texas, Texas Tech or Baylor. A&M was somewhat like us, but not tremendously so, either. Not sure the Big 10 will be different in football then the Big X!! was, but basketball will only bring your program up a step or two, as well as "most" other sports programs with the exception of baseball. NU will bring Big Ten baseball up a notch or 3! In Academics, you will rise very high, as now NU will receive BILLIONS in CCC reasearch money, being a member of the BIG *hate that logo). In football you will finf natural "Big Time" rivals in U of M , Penn ST, tOSU and Iowa. You will find warm rivals in MSU, Wisky, and maybe Illinois. You will worry about having an off day against Northwestern, Minny, and Purdue. You will never worry about Indiana till Basketball. To start a rival in the Big 10, you have done that already, No one in the Old Big 10 wants a new member to winn the conference. Best of Luck Nebraska Red!
