bball_backer Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Nebraska's ex's are: CU, KU, KSU, ISU, MU, OU, OSU, UT, aTm, BU, TT. These ex's live in: Colorado, Kansas, IOWA, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas. Makes perfect sense. Also, the shirt does NOT say "We're never again playing in these states." I realize this has all been covered but I, too love Quote Link to comment

HuskersGJ Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Why is Iowa on there? FWIW... Iowa would be correct - the list is referring to the states not the schools. Then it still doesn't make sense. Y'all are still going to playing games in Iowa. Seriously? I'll pile on, too. Just because you have a future partner who also happens to be in Iowa does not change the fact that you still have an ex who is in Iowa. Its really not that technical. Also, I must have missed the part of the shirt that says "we will never play in the states again". which would be the only statement that would allow your post to make sense. Quote Link to comment

Malth Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I live in Columbia and I need to rock that shirt around town Quote Link to comment
HuskerNCo Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Yep got to have one. If it's for real, where do we get 'em Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I think we should just admit there are mistakes to this (very clever) shirt. Colorado - doesn't live in Texas. Iowa - not an 'ex.' You can't say Iowa "lives" in Texas, only Iowa State. It IS a bit mean though. Not every school's football program was in the relative power position Nebraska was in. No real need to gloat about that, since aren't we glad to be in the Big 10 now? Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment

I think it's just listing all of the states that we're leaving (I know we're not leaving Iowa, but we're splitting ties with a team in that state. So I think it is just the name of the song (very good song, by the way, George Strait is the man) then listing the other states in fine print, making the saying "All My Ex's Live in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Iowa."

UGAHusker Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I think it would be better if that (the "exes" part) was on the back of the shirt and the front had a picture of the state of Nebraska with a cowboy hat hanging off of it ("and that's why I hand my hat in Tennessee (Nebraska)"). Just my .02 Quote Link to comment
haymarkethomer Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The shirt is not that hard to understand Quote Link to comment
HuskersGJ Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The shirt is not that hard to understand I know, why is this concept so difficult for some? To have to repeatedly and slowly explain a t-shirt? a mistake? its not that technical. Iowa State apparently doesn't qualify as a "ex" who is still located in Iowa and Colorado "doesn't live in Texas"... wha? huh? who? omg. i give up. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 OK. I am just confused. I thought the shirt was a dig at the Big 12 North teams that bent over for Texas to stay in the conference. I guess it's just two mostly disconnected phrases. A song line, and then a shout-out to all our Big 12 north 'exes'. Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's referencing every team in the big 12, not just texas and the north Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 OHHHHHhh. I get it. I'm stupid. Quote Link to comment
