Yah, the ties to the big 8 teams run deep and strong for most of us I think... Watching these great rivalry games today, I found myself pining for that NU vs. OU Thanksgiving day game. I was feeling bummed about the move to the B1G until I remembered that the Big 12 had already sunk that tradition for us...
I find myself rooting for most of the Big 8 teams whenever they're not playing NU (which is almost all the time now). I really wanted Bill Snyder to win the big one somehow this year. Oh well, there's always next time around.
I still love to hate the Texass teams that joined up with the Big 12. Punks and classless suckers every one, except perhaps A&M, who also had the smarts to jump ship!
