.... I can't quite tell if he's wishing us good luck or if he's angry at us. Actually, he and his Missouri friends laugh at the HB members who find it amusing, that's all. I hate to spoil the illusion, but I've always assumed TT was a Huskerboard poster doing a "character." That character is a barely-literate MU fan. It's for us to laugh at Mizzou, not the other way around.

If they really tried, they would have at least indicated a willingness to compromise on the outstanding issues dividing Texas from Nebraska and other schools - i.e. location of the CCG and Texas wanting their own TV network. I really think Tom went down to the Big-12 meeting last week with every intention of preserving the conference, but with a Big Ten invite as leverage. Rather than working for a amicable solution, Texas was its typical bully self. They got a three-year extension on JerryWorld, and started flinging ultimatums at NU and Missouri. "Tried to save it" my a$$. The only thing they tried to save were their own egos. Now they have to try to be a team player in the Pac-16 and almost certainly will have to put the TV network dream to bed. I don't think Texas will be able to play the same games over there.

Honestly, the same bunk keeps getting rehashed by Texas-based "journalists." Texas is a white-knight saving the South from those money-loving Yankees, Nebraska is bitter and jealous, WE WIN WE WIN, etc. There's one glaring problem with this guy's article: how could Texas have "won" in this mess when they're losing the one thing they've desired for so long - their own sports network. That's not going to happen if they go to any other conference. Sorry, Longhorns. :sigh: I really think there are so many media outlets in Texas that they all just keep talking to each other in a bubble and have no perspective whatsoever outside their world. This struck me as I was listening to Unsportsmanlike Conduct today. They talked to a Texas-based journalist who seemed like he should be a voice of reason, but instead he just couldn't wrap his head around why the Big Ten would want Nebraska. He thought they only wanted Notre Dame and Nebraska was shooting itself in the foot by holding out for an invite. It seems to me most people (journalists and fans) in Big Ten country have been pretty damn excited at the prospect of NU joining them. But to a Texan, I guess, it's hard to wrap your head around a lot of things.

and a bad troll thread at that Meh, kind of funny if you imagine all Tejas fans are feather-haired, arrogant, preppy douches. The OP is making fun of Texas arrogance while trying to get Husker fans riled up. I'm guessing someone from Sooner nation got bored.

I think you guys are missing the huge hint the OP is leaving in his signature pic. That's Steff from "Pretty in Pink" - one of the best douchebag characters in movie history. This is a troll thread.
