You must not check your' statistics cause the Big 12 has been miserable in BCS games. Look no further than Oklahoma's 2-5 record and that's the conferences second best team. Texas has held the fort down for the conference in BCS games with a 3-1 record. I'd say a 10-11 record is better than a 7-10 record. And besides the Big Ten by far gets the worst matchups when it comes to the bowl games cause for the past decade you most likely were playing USC "AT" the Coliseum(home field without a doubt) or some SEC team in their' territory. I'd like to see the Big 12 do that and come out with the record the Big Ten's had. You'll see when the new Big Ten starts and you'll realize everything we have. And you say you hate the brand of football the Big Ten plays...then you must not be a real Nebraska fan cause Nebraska plays the EXACT brand of football that teams in the Big Ten play. As for recruiting, the usual top teams in the nation for high school football recruiting are Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. 2 teams in the annual top 5 isn't nothing to just brush off like it's some non deal

Ok then you've simply gotta explain the "slapped Ohio State around IN Columbus like a bunch of girls"? That statement is a serious mystery to me cause i have yet to find another person who's even come close to saying that. I live on the west coast and all my USC buddies were even admitting they were lucky to escape with that win do to poor coaching from Tressel. "Last minute drive" meaning that drive ended when there was minimal time left in the game with very little hope of winning it in the eyes of OSU(it's a play on words). Again, you're reading into things that simply aren't there. I've said over and over in no way is it a knock on Nebraska nor is it saying Nebraska can't compete with the upper echelon teams, it's saying do NOT take these top teams in the Big Ten lightly how you were doing cause you were trying to do the "matchup against matchup against matchup" thing that is a bad indicator to assume you can beat someone. Food for thought...we woulda KILLED Arizona too. It's not minimizing your' win but it's just a fact. And btw i was rooting for Nebraska big time in that game cause i hate the Pac-10, well Oregon mainly. And for the step down statement, the Big 12 had Texas and Oklahoma as it's big guns with a sprinkle of Mizzou, Kansas, and Texas Tech being nationally ranked and liked teams on sparatic occasions. Oklahoma's been god awful in their' bowl games. People wanna make fun at Ohio State for our BCS woes, well we're 5-3 in the BCS with 2 losses in NC games. Oklahoma's 2-5 in BCS games, but somehow we get far worst press. Texas has held it's own in the manner that USC and Florida have over the past years but the 2, 3, 4 teams haven't even been close to consistent as it's assumed. So i wouldn't be so quick to assume the Big 12 has been better than the Big Ten. Nor am "I" saying the Big Ten has been better than the Big 12 85 yards on 14 plays in the last 7 mins of the game pretty much says it all. OSU had a 5 point lead in the shoe and only needed one stop to win the game and couldn't do it. from my observation, might as well have been a bunch of girls on the field who couldn't stop anything. i realize the matchup against matchup against matchup is shaky at best, but carries much more validity than saying "we woulda KILLED Az" when you couldn't beat usc ON YOUR OWN FIELD! osu wins the conference but loses to purdon't...really? I think Arizona would have throttled the bucks. "Arizona would have throttled the bucks"...haha that's simply comical! Arizona's garbage at everything other than Men's Basketball and maybe women's softball. Arizona woulda stood NO chance against us. Only team in the Pac-10 worth anything was USC and it's shown that us and MANY other teams across the nation have had problems with them. There's no myth in that. Ok if us losing to USC is like us being a bunch of girls being slapped around then i'd LOVE to here what Nebraska losing to Mizzou 52-17 and Kansas 76-39 is called in your' eyes! If it's anything less than "you guys got double penetrated without no lube and your' mouth's duct taped...TWICE" then it'll be obvious that you have a biased and oblivious sense or reality. And yeah there's no doubt that loss to Purdue was bad but going back to 2004 we've only had 3 wins in the category that "there's no reason we shoulda lost that game" and i can name EVERY single one of em...Northwestern when Justin Zwick was qb, Illinois but then again they went to the Rose Bowl that year so that loss wasn't as bad as it looked at the time, and Purdue last year. I'll take that history along with our regular season wins and a 5-3 BCS record over everyone in college football other than maybe teams like USC, Texas, and Florida(maybe LSU). That's not doing too bad to be honest comical? well they did beat usc...something the bucks couldn't do! and yeah, it's been a rough decade for NU...but it's a whole new decade now...Bo took a couple roundhouse beatings in 08 with clownahan's leftovers. but still managed 9 wins with a bowl victory. Yeah it is comical, NOBODY in that former Pac-10 but USC has been a threat for the past 10 years. Tressel had his chance to beat USC twice and he just couldn't, oh well. They still hold the upper hand in the matchup all-time 13-9. And you better believe i'm rooting for Nebraska to make a comeback. They're a traditioned program and Bo's from the Buckeye state where the best coaches coaching are from(Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops, Les Miles, Bo Pelini) so i'm pushing hard for them to be a juggernaut again in college football. Don't take my debates as a view that i'm not Oh i'm not...and that usc game still sticks in my craw because i was rooting HARD for the bucks (i hate usc) and that last drive was just sickening. so i'm probably a little biased. Yeah that last drive caused a whirlwind effect in Columbus and everywhere where there were Buckeye fans cause we were PISSED that Tressel still played the "FG and a punt" playbook the whole game when he needs to instill an offensive gameplan against top competition. And WHY on earth have a linebacker on Joe McKnight when you KNOW he's getting the ball on a slot or screen?...let me not even think about that game along with the Purdue game cause Buckeye fans were ready to jump off a bridge after those to heart attack games lol. With all of that being said "Welcome to the Big Ten!" You guys are now part of the Brotherhood and i know for sure us Buckeye fans are loving it cause it feels like we just found our long lost twin Happy to be here I don't think that there's even a team in the Big Ten that I dislike; more often than not I'm rooting for a Big Ten team than against (well, okay, there were a couple of years when NU was down and the Big Ten was getting hyped up that seeing any team have regular success was a wee bit painful... maybe in those years I did grumble discontentedly about The Ohio State University ). I think that this is going to be a blast! Wait, HOLD up one minute! You're gonna get your' ID discarded at the door. NOBODY can come into this party unless they HATE Michigan. It's a religion in the Big Ten. Let me run this ID under the light to make sure it's not fake lol just playing. Happy you guys are happy to be in too

Laminate that skersfan! Bravo and round of applause to you sir. Couldn't have said it any better. Good luck to the CornHuskers!

That's not doing too bad to be honest

And another thing you have to think about...Is Ndamukong Suh suiting up on that field again? He's a once every 3 generations type of player. That man was a beast and freak of nature. He's not easily replaced. We've had great players that when they left it's been extremely hard to replace them or even patch the position. If you're talking about that Holiday Bowl then there's no way you can excuse his presence, he's gone to the next level. So don't assume he's easily replaced

Well we know you did NOT watch the Ohio State/USC game last year! 18-15 winning on a last minute drive...yeah that's HARDLY slapping someone around like a little bunch of girls. USC took it to us big time in the 2008 matchup when they beat us at the coliseum 35-3 but anyone who knows football knows USC didn't dominate last years game whatsoever. That game was lost by Tressel with his "kick a FG instead of scoring TD's" theory while Carroll went on 4th downs regardless of the placement. You might wanna get level headed and not become like Michigan fans who thought it was their' right of passage just because of the name of the University. Cause if you think you're coming in the Big Ten and just gonna own teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan(if they improve) then you got a serious rude awakening coming. These aren't no doormat teams. I know plenty of Husker fans who aren't thinking in this type of light and to them i say "Welcome to the Big Ten" and i'm esctatic for the future of this conference with Nebraska joining. Hopefully Mizzou, Kansas, and ND come join too...i hope Heh, I hope your players and coaches make the same mistake that you are, that should let the Huskers have a field day. Look at the pre-game hype before the Holiday bowl last year. Nobody was giving Nebraska a chance against AZ, but on the field, it was like NU picked up AZ by the hair and repeated kicked them in the groin. There's this weird misconception that Nebraska is slow... I was at one of the USC/NU games and people were wearing shirts that said "See nebraska run [x3] see NU punt" and we hadn't been a power running team for like 3 or 4 years by that point... even though I wished that we were. The best we can do at this point, though, is compare what little crossover play that we've had... I'm just jazzed to be in the Big Ten and it would be silly not to expect a little hazing. That being said, try not to be surprised if you're the ones who end up with your heads in the toilet and your briefs wedged deeply 'twix your cheeks. There's ZERO mistake made on my behalf. Nowhere in that post did you see me underestimating Nebraska. I simply laughed at his post of pure dominating the Big Ten and Ohio State just simply being overwhelmed to a degree that we can't move the ball and can't stop power running...whether it was a joke or not the fact is it AIN'T happening. I'm happy both sides are optimistic for the addition of Nebraska but people who are assuming Nebraska is coming in and dominating teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Iowa are holding their' heads far too high. I don't plan on having my head in the toilet or briefs wedged. We're a year in and year out top 10 team with the most BCS appearances. Don't take that as a knock on Nebraska but just a reality check for fans who think it's gonna be a cake walk through the Big Ten cause i'll tell you now that's not gonna be the case The smart, and characteristically Nebraska, move is to wait. Time will tell. This is true, time will tell. People might take it as i'm insulting their' team pride or something but i'm simply saying don't just assume this is a motorized wheelchair ride to the national championship. These are some TOUGH games. As an Ohio State fan we've simply OWNED the Big Ten here in the recent in terms of Big Ten championships and our win/loss categories against conference opponents but i still don't take games with Penn State, Iowa, Wisconsin lightly cause with the defenses each team puts on the field every year and the great coaches they have I know things could go either way real fast. Not too mention these are some of the most renowned stadiums in the nation with massive fan bases ALWAYS selling it out(The Horseshoe and The Big House included). Nebraska fits the Big Ten to a T cause it's been built how most of our teams have been...stellar defenses and strong running game

You're gonna LOVE it! I get up 6:58am Vegas time to get my college gameday on at 7 then the games start at 10am and you can pick who you wanna watch with multiple teams playing in alotted timeslots. BTN got bad pub it's first year but it's a great invention to the world of cable/satellite tv channels...for us fans of the Big Ten that is

Hopefully Mizzou, Kansas, and ND come join too...i hope Sorry to break it to you, but your slow players will have no chance against our speed, your defenses will have no stopping power because you will have to play one linebacker all the time. Second off try to score a touchdown against Bo Pelini, just see how hard it is when you face about 4 third downs on every drive. Welcome to the BigNebraska conferencek, and yes there are doormat teams in the league it will just be hard to realize your one of them. HA. Ok that may have been harsh, its all in good fun, don't take me to seriously. LOL now you sir need to be a standup comedian cause i just laughed at ALL of that! LOL but next seasons gonna be fun on the first week of kickoff in the new Big Ten

Yeah that money distribution y'all had goin in the Big 12 was a complete joke. Texas and Oklahoma ran everything in that conference(mainly Texas). I'm surprised teams put up with that sham of a money sharing agreement for that long. In the Big Ten there's an even distribution so the Indianas and Northwesterns just love to see those extra dollars without even attempting to become better teams

Well we know you did NOT watch the Ohio State/USC game last year! 18-15 winning on a last minute drive...yeah that's HARDLY slapping someone around like a little bunch of girls. USC took it to us big time in the 2008 matchup when they beat us at the coliseum 35-3 but anyone who knows football knows USC didn't dominate last years game whatsoever. That game was lost by Tressel with his "kick a FG instead of scoring TD's" theory while Carroll went on 4th downs regardless of the placement. You might wanna get level headed and not become like Michigan fans who thought it was their' right of passage just because of the name of the University. Cause if you think you're coming in the Big Ten and just gonna own teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan(if they improve) then you got a serious rude awakening coming. These aren't no doormat teams. I know plenty of Husker fans who aren't thinking in this type of light and to them i say "Welcome to the Big Ten" and i'm esctatic for the future of this conference with Nebraska joining. Hopefully Mizzou, Kansas, and ND come join too...i hope

First off, Welcome to the Big Ten! It's a great move for both Nebraska as well as the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska has storied tradition just like several schools in our conference. With this addition we hold 4 out of 7 of the all-time winningest schools. There's much to be said about that. Looking forward to next years games cause i LOVE the move. Now back to the post. There's no way they'll have the east and west split in that manner. The east would be way too top heavy with us(Ohio State), Penn State, and Michigan when they get back on their' feet which is never if i could have a wish lol. Michigan will probably be in the west and a team like Illinois or Northwestern will substitute over to the east. Yes a garbage team but it'd help balance out the divisions
