CNN/SI story "We laughed at Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe last year. We assumed he would preside over the downfall of a conference that should have printed its own money because he couldn't adequately manage the warring factions within. We lampooned him. Someone even started a Twitter feed claiming to be Beebe that gave life to the caricature we created during last year's conference realignment showdown. Even when he brokered a deal that kept the conference together, we gave no credit to Beebe and all the credit to Texas officials for their string-pulling skills. Then we immediately began predicting the Big 12's demise within a few years. Wednesday, those of us who made Beebe the butt of our realignment jokes owed the man an apology. Because what he predicted came true, and his conference appears strong and stable."

A&M may follow the Nebraska example: "We can't compete with Texas, so we're leaving!"

307 has me wondering. Some off season fodder.... Serious question for all Huskers here: Knowing how your season ended would you rather have still had the season you had (won the Big 12 North/and bowl game etc.) OR: Trade that to have beat Texas and finish the season bowl inelligible? Discuss......

"...And of course, I am thrilled for the whole state of Texas, which plans to use the $300 million to buy the state of Nebraska, then donate Nebraska to charity, just to prove that Texas doesn't need Nebraska. " SI.com I laughed.

Somehow, someway, I'm sure y'all will find a way to blame Texas for this

May not be apples to apples but some coaches actually follow through on these type of promises : Link

Agreed. I think this story is overblown and completely understandable why he Bo didnt follow through but if the Huskers were up by 4 TD's I think Pelini would have time to follow through on the promise. Calling it a joke was not appropriate way to address it. Bo may not be a complete tool, but at times he exhibits tool-like tendancies.

These projections are worth the paper the internet is printed on but interesting never the less.... Link BCS simulation wk 3

Then move. Wouldn't be the first time Nebraska ran away from Texas. What Too soon? I keed, I keed

We have too much class for that. Does that stuff happen in Nebraska a lot? But seriously, I don't have a problem with the upside down horns, those idiots buying horn decals dont realize they are just contributing to the Longhorn athletic budget with every decal they buy.

Some interesting candid responses. Link

Welcome to the last 40 years of Husker football. True. At least we have that in common

We're Texas. We live with a bullseye on our backs. EVERYONE plays us like it's their Super Bowl so this would be nothing new to us.
