Seeing how the Big 10 currently has 12 schools in it (not counting Nebraska), I don't see them changing the name if Nebraksa does come aboard.

Are you talking about Miami or UNL? I have not been around here that much so I don't know if this is common but I have never heard anyone in Nebraksa call UNL "the U".

It will still be called the Big 10. They won't change the name of the coference and they won't change the name of the network.

You do know that other Divisions have more than 119 teams and can still decide the national championship on the field, right? If all this is about a playoff or crowning a true national championship, we would have seen it a long time ago. However, it is about money.

What philosophy did he change on the offensive side of the ball?

What type of basic cable are you talking about? http://www.bigtennetwork.com/corporate/Networkbelongsonbasiccable.asp The Big 10 Network will try and have the channel on the basic lineup in the Big 10 region. See the Time Warner Cable holdout in Ohio and other states.

Talking to some Husker fans is like talking to some fellow Buckeye fans. Look at it this way, I don't see Nebraska facing Ohio State with TP on the field unless it is in a bowl game. If the Nebraska does join the Big 10, it isn't like they will dump next year's schedule (TP's jr. season). My guess, it would be TP's senior season when Nebraska would start to play a Big 10 schedule. With that in mind, you have a possible 16 teams and not everyone would play each other. SO THE CHANCES ARE FREAKIN SLIM HE WOULD PLAY NEBRASKA. I am sorry if you feel that every non Husker fan is trying to take a shot at your team. I am not nor do I care too. Half my family lives Nebraska and are Husker fans. I enjoy talking football with them about the Huskers and Buckeyes.

^This...Oh and get ready for your cable bill to go up.

Please work on your reading comprehension.... I said, "Pryor isn't like most QB's". I never said you have NOT seen a QB like him before. Also, it is hard to control the clock when you are throwing the ball that much. Yes a great D and special teams are needed but a balanced offense usually helps a lot.

DO you know why you won't find anyone in the Big 10 (or in most conferences) with a passing attack like TT? It may win you a lot of games but it doesn't win you championships. Pryor isn't like most QB's. If he plays like he did in the Rose Bowl, he is a very hard QB to stop. He won't kill you with the pass but his all around game can/should be something special. Saying that, there is a good chance you won't see him vs NEB so it really doesn't matter. Nebraska's style of play should work well in the Big 10. I would like to think that Bo understands the conference.

Ironic post of the day. I thought the same thing.

I don't see the Big 10 changing its name any time soon. Even if they ended up with 16 teams, I don't think they will change the name.

If you are talking about OSU, not very well. If you factor the conference as a whole, not as bad as you would like to think.

I understand schemes....however, when "team speed" is brought up (at least in the media)it is about raw speed not schemes. Trust me, not much has changed at OSU on the defensive side of the ball since Tressel took over at OSU. After saying that, I think that the end of last year Nebraska would have finished at the top half of the B10. No clue about this year because of the turnover in some key positions in the B10. I just hope that all this talk happens because I love the thought of having Nebraska in the B10. Just remember it took a B10/OSU guy to turn around your program

"Team speed" is a huge joke anymore. I don't see how a guy that is recruited by FLA or LSU somehow becomes slower when they go to a school in the Big 10 or anywhere North of the SEC (thanks media). Somehow OSU went from being big and slow to a fast defensive team in the Rose Bowl. Also don't lump that Texas game into the team speed category. A safety playing out of position lost the game for the Buckeyes. Left that guy wide open and it made for an easy pass from Colt. FLA and LSU were overall better teams when they play OSU in the NC games. OSU had no business playing in the NC vs LSU.

I am an Ohio State fan and I can understand why people would judge OSU fans the way they do. I remember the 2006 Michigan vs OSU game in Columbus and the problems in and around the stadium. There was a point where I had to tell some drunk guys behind me to shut up because of the stuff they were yelling at passing Michigan fans. I can understand some good ribbing but not some of the stuff that was said. Saying that, I have ran into fans from teams all over the country and ALL TEAMS have these problems. If you go to any other sporting event at OSU, (i.e. basketball) you wouldn't have these problems. I hope Nebraska does end up in the Big 10 but I hope that Bo stays out of Northeast Ohio while recruiting. I think it would be great to take in a Nebraksa/OSU game at the Shoe.
