knapplc Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If we go and start getting Hawkeye trolls, I'm going to turn that into an av somehow. Hawkeye trolls, like trolls of any other fan base, will be dealt with swiftly. That I can assure you. Anyone is welcome to come and talk sports with the Husker fans here. Conversations can even get passionate. But I will not tolerate trollery, not one tiny little bit. Quote Link to comment

This is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking at the same time. I can't read this portion enough: With Nebraska moving to the Big Ten, the conference would now be home to four of the NCAA's most legendary football schools. Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan are the league's standard-bearers and a fourth powerhouse would boost the overall image of the conference. Furthermore, it would bring another enormous fanbase into the league. Quote Link to comment

The school should get an elephant from the zoo and let it roam the sidelines during the game. Quote Link to comment
TheCheshireCat Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Here is what I'm curious about. They don't mention Missouri in there, so let's assume that so far Nebraska is the only invite and the only one to have accepted. If ND doesn't go and Missouri doesn't get an invite, will there still be massive realignment, or does the Big XII and the Big X just trade places - one now has 12 and the other 11? Or does the Pac-10 move in and does all hell break loose? Quote Link to comment
Husker_N_TX Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 "With the first shift in conference expansion taking place, most college football analysts expect more to occur soon. There is outside interest in adding Missouri to the Big Ten, and the talks regarding Notre Dame has picked up again." HA HA. That has to be getting under Mizzou's skin.. Us getting invited first.

If not i think they stay at 12 for the time being and explore more expansion options at their own pace. Quote Link to comment

I had read/heard some time ago that ND really wanted Missouri to be a part of the expansion IF they were to join. I don't recall the reasoning so I apologize. IF that is the case; THEN I really like the maneuvering by the Big Ten brass to continue (what appears) to corner ND and not beg. IF ND decides in the long run to not join the Big Ten, then they're doomed. And I pray that that is the way it plays out! Quote Link to comment

If Texas takes its ball and heads west, the Big 10 will then pluck MU at least and they will seek expansion out to 16 with ND being the last piece. The more the dominoes fall into place, ND may have no choice but to join, especially if the Big East is dissolved and they have no place to park their other sports. If this first shot has been fired, I liken this to Archduke Ferdinand being killed in 1914 to kick WWI into high gear. All holy hell is about to let loose. Quote Link to comment

Very nice analogy! : I'll just liken ND to France in this situation, and pray that they piss themselves looking for allies. Quote Link to comment
