Husker Nation-
As my university remains mired in the whole conference realignment debate, I find myself looking your way and wishing we too were in a stable place. For the past few years I've enjoyed Tigerboard but in recent weeks it has completely gone over to endless, circular discussions about the fate of the Big XII, and where Mizzou's destiny lies. Football doesn't even get mentioned unless it's a game day, and I think that's sad
When I first heard NU was leaving the Big XII I was angry. I loved hating Big Red. The loathing expressed by your fan base for my Black and Gold was a badge of honor for me. It was a sign that our program had finally achieved a state that merited your contempt, perhaps borne of a grudging respect. I thought your departure was a loss for your school (better football in the Big XII as it precariously exists now) and for the Big XII due to the fact that Nebraska is once again a force to be reckoned with.
But now you guys must be so happy and grateful to be free of all this drama. You have a big game coming up against Wisconsin this weekend that everyone is looking forward to seeing, myself included. The Tiger in me wants to see you lose but the Big XII in me wants you to methodically destroy and expose the Big 10 for the football fraud I believe it to be.
My hope is that your Huskers bring their A-game to the Big 10 so we can really see how the two conferences measure up against each other. Good, honest, hard fought games are all anyone can ask for.
In closing, there are only two things I can say with any certainty:
1. I'm sick of loud-mouthed, greedy, arrogant Longhorns.
2. I miss our annual battles on the gridiron.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted...
