Which is a better goal for us in the long run?

[mnhusker]

I'd like to win the Big 12 this year because it provides momentum going into next year. This year has already been good but a strong finish will help firm up our recruiting and that to me is a good goal. (Not that winning the Big 10 would not also be huge).

 

But if we don’t win the big 12 we don't get to give me Beebe the big finger on the way out the door ......... and that will be priceless as they say.

[Vizsla1]

C- Both!

[Fuzzy]

And here I thought leaving the conference and taking the title game eligibility to the Big Ten was thee middle finger to Beebe.

[It'sNotAFakeID]

To me, it is more important to me for us to win the Big XII this year and the Big Ten next year. They're both championship games, and they're both important because they are championships.

 

 

BOTH

[The Snork]

Its important to win the big 12 this year because that's the goal they set for themselves and its the last chance they'll have to win it. Plus it will be a giant STFU to all their detractors.

[Glendower]

Heh, it's just a hypothetical... if you had to choose, which one would you rather have? No one should think that this poll has any bearing on reality... so maybe it would be easier and cause fewer people to freak out about it if you thought about it like this:

 

Which scenario would feel less bad:

Winning the big 12 this year and losing the big 10 next.

or

Losing the Big 12 this year and winning the big 10 next.

Big 10. Big 12 CCG game you win either way. You either win outright or claim the refs screwed you if you lose.

Big 10. Big 12 CCG game you win either way. You either win outright or claim the refs screwed you if you lose.

I don't think they gave us credit for the win last year against Teexas. I just double checked the records, no they still gave the win to Teexas.

 

Your argument has no truth to it. Epic fail!!!

One game at a time baby, one game at a time.

Has any team won back to back conference titles in two different BCS conferences? That's my vote.

Hate to say it...but Texas '95 SWC, '96 Big 12. Not many teams switch conferences and even have a shot. Miami had a shot in 2004 after winning the Big East in '03, but failed to win the ACC.

 

OK, but has any team won back to back conference titles in two different BCS conferences without single-handedly ruining their previous conference?

[307husker]

I think it would be awesome if we took the Big XII title in it's last year and the Big Ten title in it's first year.

 

I actually think the Big 10 has been around for a while...

[Danimal]

Going out on top would be huge. It would make a statement for years to come that we're back and we weren't running from anybody. Said statement stifle our critics and would help our recruiting. Winning the 12 means we've made the next step, back to being a national power, the sooner that step is made the better.

[307husker]

the sooner that step is made the better.

 

Poor choice of words Danimal...

[Danimal]
