I miss the Big 8 not the Big 12. Texas ruined everything for everyone. Now Texas is all hat and no cattle. They deserve where they are at.

WTF FTW, We’re talking about the Big 12. Using your reasoning, NYC should be the headquarters of the Big 12 because there’s a park in NYC called Central Park.

I have copies of all the articles detailing how Iowa State & Kansas State, upset that Nebraska had become a dominant national power, conspired with the refugees from the SWC (that Texas destroyed) to screw Nebraska. The last 20 years of Husker history is a direct result of all of that. I have zero desire to go back to a conference whose primary members pulled that S against us, and it's good to see that so few people are in the "go back" camp. The Big XII is the least stable of the P5 conferences. No other P5 conference has had a team defect to another conference in the past 20 years. The Big XII has had four teams leave. You don't leave a healthy relationship. Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri & Texas A&M weren't wrong for getting away. It's crazy that Oklahoma stayed, to be honest.

No

Did you mean "splash in the bowl"?

Actually it would. Because it would draw people to research what a Blackshirt is and learn the history and tradition. There is nothing wrong with that.

I think Superconferences killed a lot of college football identity, and that includes the Big 12, which absorbed the Texas schools from the old Southwest conference. Texans don't think of themselves as midwesterners. They think of themselves as Texans. That didn't really work out for anybody. If you miss anything, it's the old Big 8. 7 schools shared a culture. Colorado not so much, but that made them fun to beat.

When we win our first conference title in over 20 years under the direction of Scott Frost, we will be happy it is a Big 10 championship.

I miss us playing the Sooners. That's it.

Every time I listen to a UTerus fan reminds me exactly why i'm glad to be gone, to this day their fans are absolutely clueless as to why we left. Those morons actually believe we caused the whole thing, then again a lot of stupid arse OU fans out there think the same thing because their too busy sucking the teet. I'm absolutely ok with the B1G at this point.

If you want her to have a calm demeanor and not really care about doing anything productive name her Riley

What a bunch of clowns.

why can't the answer be both?

I find it really easy to hate all things Iowa football. Almost comes natural.

girl dog..... Suh.

She's right. Here's an example that illustrates her point exactly:

THIS IS FROM WIKIPEDIA, AND I ADDED A GREEN DOT (LULZ) FOR COLORADO, BLACK DOT FOR MIZZOU, AND A BIG RED DOT FOR LINCOLN. I'VE ALSO CIRCLED TEXAS JUST FYI.

Austin is barely "centrally located" in the state of Texas.

This is quite the conundrum, isn't it?

I lol’d

First, there can be discussion about a topic without the need for the overly-dramatic gif insinuating that no one else is as smart as you are. Second, you should probably try the "most people don't really understand Branding" line on the companies that spend billions of dollars each year on it.

It was a bad pun. I"ll Grant you that.

Willy Beaman approves of this recruit.

Wanting to go back to the Big XII is like wanting to get back together with an ex girlfriend that cheated on you, convinced you to stay together, brought other guys into the relationship, left you, stole your car, and broke your spirit so much that you have nostalgia for and actually miss all the needless miserable pain and suffering she put you through.

NO /THREAD

I miss some games we played. But living in Minnesota I'm glad we are in the B1G now.

When I look back on the Big 12, I'm glad my kids will only remember Nebraska being part of the Big 10

i miss the Big 12 much like i miss a painful rectal itch

Nathan Gerry, Blackshirt ... is how Gerry introduced himself for the eagles game tonight.

Any ideas on what time our game with Michigan will be? I'm trying to schedule some stuff and really hope it's a night game.

Seriously FTW, where are you going with this? I think we're all on board that Austin is relatively central when talking about Texas, and the precise opposite of central when talking about the Big 12. That's just science.

Have you seen a map?

Cool. That means I can use them to judge people.

I'l take "Incredible Irony" for $2000, Alex.

Wonder no longer

Well we know taking a knee during the national anthem is out

Salisdead Too soon??

Perhaps not when Gerry was the only one that has done it. But the point was hoping it would catch on with other NFL players. And I understand branding just fine. Be careful of who you assume does or doesn't know things.

That nostalgia would wear off pretty quickly when everyone realizes we're juat swapping Illinois, Purdue and Rutgers for Kansas, Iowa State and West Virginia. Hardly worth the decrease in revenue to tuck our tail between our legs so we can play Oklahoma instead of Ohio State just to please the fans who can't get over a bunch of teams that stabbed us in the back and almost none of which considered us a rival in the first place.

Yeah, because I don't care who they are playing I just like quick and easy road trips.

no

That was the day NU died. Exposed on national tv..............The reality is, those losses became all too familiar the previous 15 years.....Time to get back to our winning ways and getting back to being Nebraska. I like the story line. Last game we were truly Nebraska and the first game to take it back against the same team that took it away.

No
