Congrats to Texas (I know you'll miss us)

[huskrinmissouri]

Congratulations to the Texas team and fans. You executed your game plan to near perfection. Although I will likely never cheer for a Texas team (with the exception of having the Rangers beat the Yankees, but then after that I will cheer for the National Leauge), hats off to you. I watched the game on television and the game was won by the team that executed. For whatever reason, you have a mental edge on us and although I still believe we have a team that is capable of playing well–you did what you needed to do to win. I hope you were treated cordially and Mack Brown said after the game that he will miss playing Nebraska in the future. I can't help but think that he will miss the almost yearly guaranteed win that always comes with plenty of excitement and anticipation. Of course, we'd like to have another shot at you in the Big XII championship game, but we showed that we probably have some things to improve on to get to that point. I hope you want the same and perhaps we'll see you again in another couple months. Good luck the rest of the way.

I had no reason or cause to expect good things from this game, but being a homer fan, I of course had hopes that Texas would prevail. That was by far the best Texas has played all season. The coaches finally let the offense loose and it made a world of difference. Also, Texas finally played a game without shooting themselves in the foot with dumb penalties on every drive.

 

The game could have been a lot more interesting had Nebraska executed better, but it looked to me like Texas was the better team today.

Congrats again Texas.

I know this is shallow and not a thing a Husker fan should say, but I never want to see texas burnt orange or horns again

[JOEY]

Congrats Texas you always have our number even when we have the better team.

Oh, now...be honest, Warlord. When you look at it dispassionately, wouldn't it be nice to have one more shot at us in the Big XII Championship? Between winning today, and winning the conference, I'd think you'd find it much sweeter to win the conference...especially if you get to beat us in the process. And if that's the worst thing any of you says about the Longhorns on these boards, there are fans from a whole bunch of boards that need to come hang out here and study "class." GBR. Hope we can meet again, in December.

It's funny, up until tonight all I wanted was to face Oklahoma one last time in the title game. Now I would love nothing more than to get another shot at Texas.

Classy thoughts. Mack has stated that TO is one of his heroes, and that he enjoys the cordial (classy) reception we get when we come to Lincoln...and the nearly unique combination of sportsmanship and passion that your fans embody. He was struck by the NU fans chanting "Heisman, Heisman" at Ricky Williams after his game in Lincoln. I've experienced your class firsthand, and it astounded me. At the first Big XII Championship (don't tell anyone, but I was torn...I love UT, but wanted Nebraska to win 3 straight national championships; woulda turned out to be 4, had we not screwed it up), despite the fact the Horns had just dashed your hopes for the NC, over a dozen different NU fans made a point of congratulating me over the victory. I also recall with distaste a few drunk UT fans who demonstrated the dark side of the sportsmanship spectrum. We hate to see y'all leave the Big XII. One more December game with you would be nice, and fitting--whoever wins.

Congrats, and i pray to god that ALL Texas fans were treated as well as other fans have been treated for the most part. In our section on the end there was a lone texas fan, probably mid twenties with his son, probably 5-6 yrs old, at the end of the game, looking very VERY lonely and the poor guy and son just didnt seem to be enjoying the imminant victory as they shouldve. I shook his hand and told him and his son to stand up and cheer and enjoy this cuz they deserve and not to let some drunk a-hole ruin your experience here.

*chuckle* And we'd love nothing more than for you to have that shot!

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Would love to get one more chance at Texas in December. However, I would probably kill both of my dogs if we lost to you.............again! j/k about the dog part. Don't think my stress level can take another Texas game.

we already beat OU the potentially last time we saw them....we will play Texas in the title game, hopefully...and we WILL win....our recievers will catch the ball by them.....we left 4 TDs off the board today from dropped passes.

[Count 'Bility]

Sorry Texas, i'm not pulling for a rematch with you in december. I want OU. After today it's clear we cant beat Texas. That's just the way it is. It's time to move on.

That's exactly how I feel. The only statement I'd change is "we cant beat Texas" to "we won't beat Texas." We're capable of beating anyone, including our burnt orange kryptonite, we just won't do it.

 

That being said, there's a lot of football still to be played this season, and with all the upsets and crazy games we've seen already, I definitely won't rule out another meeting with Texas in Dallas come December.
