  1. I've looked all over for a site that has them with reliable sources, as I have been downloading Michigan and Ohio State games because these seem to be the only 2 sites out there that are organized and don't look like a site for virus' anyone know where you can find Nebraska Games to download?
  2. I felt that way during the solich era too, but only later on like after the Colorado game in 2001. I actually thought that Callahan could turn things around, but hey I was only 16 when he was hired, what did I know? Just glad to have things the way they are now.
  3. I should probably have been a little more direct. I think the order of sports goes football, basketball, and then wrestling. Baseball isn't even on the radar, though some schools have decent stadiums and once in a while we have some good pros come out of our programs, but in no way shape or form do we think it is an important college sport, but from what I hear it is important to the Big 12 and specifically Nebraska along with Texas. I just hope we don't f#*k up your guys' enjoyment of college baseball b/c you will get close to zero competition from us. Though the wrestling will be epic, but then again not a lot of regions outside of the midwest care about that. This is what I'm excited for the most except for Football. I think Nebraska baseball really isn't the big time program people make it out to be. Yea we have had some great teams not to long ago when Van Horn was here, but we only have 3 CWS appearances and are 1-6 in those games. So I think for a while their NU fans go their hopes up thinking Nebraska was awesome, but mainly that was going on when football was waaaay low. So we had to cheer for something since BBall doesn't do well either.
  4. Ya I have to believe it was a bluff after I read this report. Texas leaning towards staying now. :laughpound :laughpound My link
  5. One last shot at Texas...unless they win the south, then we'll get two. SAW 'EM OFF
  6. Big, powerful, conferences mean big TV money. I'm not oblivious to this...nor do I disagree...but I still don't like it. Funny how Nebraska was/is the glue to the entire landscape of college football as we know it. How fitting. :koolaid2:
  7. Personally I would like to move to the SEC. But I would love the change to the BIG 10 also. I hate moving to the PAC 10, buut anything is better than the BIG 12. I think being with you guys in the BIG 10 would be great! At the risk of transforming this into another Texas skirmish, let me tell you what's being reported here in Austin, and not just on orangebloods.com. Our understanding is that if A&M chooses to head east, then UT has informed them that the rivalry will be over and that it will be many, many years before the two schools meet again. While this may not seem like a big deal to many of the folks here, you have to remember that even A&M's fight song is focused toward Texas, and ours mentions them. That's the kind of rivalry this has been. It would be a tragedy if this relationship were severed due to a Gene Stallings temper tantrum. The slightly more wild rumor is that the Pac 10 does NOT want to wait (and the same goes for the other Texas and Okie schools) on A&M to take 30 days to make up its mind. So it's likely this will be settled next week. If A&M decides to head East, then Kansas would next on the Pac 10's shopping list. The Okies and Tech have hitched their wagons to Texas' horses. As for the Big 10, the Kansas City TV station has had its clock cleaned by someone in the Big 10. The Big 10 is nowhere on the radar as far as anyone in Texas or Oklahoma is concerned. Period. That from the UT athletic department, off the record. The big money for Texas is out west. Not in the rust belt, not in Dixie. Kansas better be praying and hoping hard that TAMU decides to go east.
  8. THIS!!!!!!!! SCREW TEXAS, i'm sick and tired of their BS thinking they can do what they want...shizzle!
  9. 2012 is my guess after we play out our new big12 schedules. However a guy from Madison, Wisconsin was on the local Kearney ESPN radio Doug and Daddy show and he said up there he's been hearing 2011? I was thinking thats a bit hopeful but no one really knows....if the big12 does dissolve completely then I would say, hey look at having a complete off season of rescheduling? how plausible is that?
  10. I DON'T WANT TEXAS!!! gall darnit. why don't they just keep 10 in the big 12...or just pick up 2 others? These super conferences are retarded and the scheduling for them would make no sense unless you did away with non conference scheduling. play 12 conference games and then go to a play off...idk, damn...I'm all for the Nebraska move, but i'm not at all in favor of 16 team conferences. not at all.
  11. FWIW Just got an ESPN Alert to my phone that says "ESPN NCAAF - Mortensen: Source says Nebraska AD Tom Osborne informed staff that school will make move to Big Ten"
  12. Got this from a big 10 poster on the rivals site. The non paid forum. 1. As things stand now, do you prefer Big 12 or Big 10? 2. If you switch, what will you miss most about the Big 12? 3. If you switch, would you prefer the Big 10 go to 12, 14, or 16 teams? 4. If 14, who would you want to bring with you? 5. If 16, who would you want to bring with you? 6. Which Big 10 school would you most look forward to playing in football? 7. Which Big 10 school would you most look forward to playing in basketball? 8. What, if any, matchups in non-revenue sports would interest you? 9. Nebraska's first Big Ten title would be in which sport? 10. Where should a Big 10 championship football game be held? 11. (Because we can't count) What is something Big Ten fans should know about Nebraska that most probably don't?
  13. I just look forward to play OU in the Rose bowl now...every year!
  14. I was sitting around today and I really got to wondering...What do the Nebraska players think about all this? Obviously they aren't oblivious to the situation going on. How many are pissed? How many are excited about a move to the big 10? That is what I would REALLY like to know.
  15. The more I read and think about this, Texas will NOT join another conference unless it gets a VERY sweet deal - like the ability to have their own network (not going to happen with Pac 10 or Big 10), to select their own puppet commish and dictatorial power for life. If NU/MU leaves they bring in TCU to replace NU and LaLa to replace MU. I really don't think they're going to bring in TCU if NU/MU leave... TCU is a small school in a state that they already have command over. They gain nothing by adding TCU. It's all about TV pull. I just hope that we have a ticket to the Big 10, because the MWC would really suck ass. Well if they want the state of Nebraska so bad, have Omaha move up to FBS. and they could take Southwest Missouri State in place of Missouri. The north is irrelevant anyway right?!
  16. penn state guy catching the ball "inbounds"
  17. I would be more worried about the urinating in public thing...doesn't that mean he just made the sex offender list? just a question
  18. He'll be alright........when I say alright, I'm being hopeful
  19. Well considering its a prognostication by Phil Steele, no, i'm not surprised. Husker Fans should know by now that Bo doesn't let anyone know a depth chart untill kickoff of the first game. generally.
  20. I still find that hard to believe. But dont worry on October 16th we'll scratch that one off the list. 2010 will be Nebraskas year!!!!! You would like to think so and be hopeful anyway. As long as we don't give up a field goal with :01 remaining, or a 81 yard bomb to the 3 yard line...yea we should be ok. Offseason is too long.
  21. I still can't believe this crazy stat. "There are 63 out of 65 schools that have beaten a top 19 team since November of 2001, the two schools that haven't are Duke, and Nebraska" I mean I know Nebraska looks to be back on track but, to be "official" I think we need to get out of being in association with Duke in terms of football. :facepalm:
