I concur. It is a bit extreme. It's quite likely that we could very well be heading off to the Big 10 with a 10% winning percentage against Texas while we were in the Big 12. Texas seems butthurt that we're leaving the Big 12, but if Nebraska loses to Texas this year you won't even know butthurt until seeing this board after the game.
I have never really cared much for Texas myself, but it has nothing to do with losses we've sustained to Texas. My disliking of Texas stems from the fact that Texas and Mack Brown should have at least one if not more NC's under their belt. Mack Brown caved into pressure and started an inferior QB over a proven winner. Mack Brown gave up a lot of hardware to get Phil Simm's one million donation.
I disagree. While the losses certainly are frustrating, ever since 2002, there is no reason for NU to even be close in those games. tu has LOADS of talent while NU does not. tu should be embarrassed that it normally takes a bounce of a ball here, a lucky break there, a missed call here, and extra second there to beat an inept, un-talented, irrelevant team.
What about the first 5 or 6 years in the Big 12? People can say all they want, but TO got outcoached plain and simple in the 1996 Big 12 Championship game. We've had 4 coaches who've went up against Texas since we've been in the Big 12. Solich is the only one who's managed a victory. When the Big 12 was formed, Texas really wasn't relevant. They fired a coach just like we did. Texas in the 90's had very similar records to Nebraska in the 2000's with some nice 5-6, 6-5, and 7-4 seasons.
Again, that loss in 96 was frustrating, even players from that time say that game was the hardest loss because we were better and there were other reasons why we lost that game. But that is not the reason for MY hatred towards Texass. It's their arrogance, self importance, and thought of entitlement.
It's not that we're arrogant, it's just that we know we are luckier than you HOOM'EM
