The way it should be

[HANC]

Ahhhhh.... Nebraska vs Oklahoma for all the marbles.... This is the way it is meant to end.

 

I am 41 years old and can only remember "so-far" back, so for you older members, please forgive me, but what a great way to end. I am a football purist.

 

Over my lifetime, I have spent countless games in Lincoln , in Norman, or in my living room watching this historical rivalry. I remember all the games from about 1975 until present.

 

I have yelled, danced, drank, partied, cussed, and even cried throughout the years. As a young boy and even in college I "HATED" the Sooners with a passion. Then, Barry leaves and Tom leaves, and along come the 'wannabees" (KSU and CU)....

 

It wasn't until after college and I became a coach myself that I realized what a special rivalry and a great amount of respect that there was between the two programs. Yes, I still want to BEAT OU more now than ever, but I can honestly say that I RESPECT their program.

 

I have traveled to Norman countless times and have seen Neb. win many and lose our share, and have usually been treated well....of course, in my younger days, I (and buddies) probably brought a little bit of mistreatment on ourselves.

 

I hoped for this match up ALL YEAR... and I will be in Dallas rooting my a$$ off for my alma matar, but if we should lose (not planning on it), I can say that I will be able to sleep that night, knowing that this was HOW IT SHOULD BE... NU vs OU...

Couldn't have said it better, I wanna see another game of the century. 71' 87' 00'

Beebe is probably rubbing his head right now. He knows this is how each program wanted it to end. He is jealous that Texas couldnt be in the limelight.

Good thoughts HANC, I would add that the couple of years when OU guys would come up from our same house in the 80's we always had a great time showing them the town, and they just loved the upside-down margaritas and the original side track (where the college kids had to 'steal it' from the bikers every week on Friday afternoon), sandwiches and schlitz from the caboose, and a bunch of other things i can't remember (!) It was a blast... they were our favorite visitors (it was a drunk mutual-respect society).

Welcome to huskerboard LandThieves, hope you enjoy your time here. Great way to end all of this and I do have respect for the Sooners, but not Saturday. Saturday...........you're the enemy and you must be crushed! Some harmless trash talk to get the blood going.
