nowhereman Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 They even deleted the comments section after all of them were negative against the article. If you're going to write a troll piece you know is going to stir the hornets nest, have the guts to handle the response. Some of the points in there were just plain silly. Jesuit schools? What the hell does that have to do with Nebraska's past success? Was there a Catholic pipeline I didn't know about that gave us our national titles? This article was clearly written by a Texan or a reporter trying to ingratiate themselves with the Texas Ten conference. There is a concerted effort going on down south to re-write history to cast Texas as the savior and Nebraska as the bad guy. This article is just one of many in that vein. 1 Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Wow, that pantload got fuller and fuller as the article went on. Not even worth starting to refute. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerGBR Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 From now on I am not going to read anything that has anything to do with the Big 12. I am so glad we are done with that worthless conference. Oh and foxsports blows! Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I didn't really think it was too far off-base. A few of the points were speculative or silly, but overall it seemed a pretty spot on guess to me. Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Holy sh#t, that has to be one the biggest hatchet pieces I've ever seen! And who's the author we have to thank for it........ FS SOUTHWEST STAFF. Huh? Way to take ownership fellas. 1 Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Texas nut rider that obviously has hatred toward Nebraska and Osborne. Who cares and yes FoxSports is God awful. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Linking to articles like that just accomplishes what the tards who wrote it want - they're trying to get clicks for their site by writing some outrageous piece. When we link to it and say, look what this guy said about us, everyone clicks on it and they win. That's why I don't link to articles like that, or to sources who are asses. I have a list of news sources I won't link to, because they've either been dicks to Nebraska or HuskerBoard in particular. Most anything that's worth discussing has been covered by a number of sources, and I don't have to push traffic at people who I feel don't deserve it. 1 Quote Link to comment
1Huskernation Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 WOW. Amazing these clowns have intimate knowledge of TO's thoughts and feelings following all these key events in the Big 12. Nice job, ladies. 1 Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Couple things, I like how it's written by Fox Sports Southwest "Staff". That just goes to show the nutless wonders that love the Beebe teabagging. 2nd, were we the only team that left the Big XII??? We left such an immense rift by leaving that it knocked Colorado into the Pac 12. Dumbasses 1 Quote Link to comment

I was just surprised people out there despise Nebraska so much they'll write crap like that. Feel free to delete. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I didn't really think it was too far off-base. A few of the points were speculative or silly, but overall it seemed a pretty spot on guess to me. Funny how they failed to consider the move being a reaction to Missouri very actively trying to leave for the Big 10, and Texas and it's posse making noises to go to the Pac 10 or SEC. Nope, it was all Osborne, the poor, angry loser. It's just baffling why he didn't have us leave the Big 8 when OU was beating up on us in his early years. 1 Quote Link to comment

How is this really that far off from the spin of greed, power, and control that writers from the LJS or OWH have put out there in the past. It is a dual sided situation where, memebers of both sides will forever call foul. Quote Link to comment
redblooded Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 It's not even worth it anymore. They can lament the fact that NU is gone and they are now in the weaker conference and try and pin it on Nebraska all they want. In a few years when OU pulls off the same dominance they have on them over the last decade anyways they'll be wondering what the hell happened. They'll also be at least a 1-2 loss team ever year since KState has their number and they will suffer the same perception problems the big 10 did for the last decade without a championship game. 2nd, were we the only team that left the Big XII??? We left such an immense rift by leaving that it knocked Colorado into the Pac 12. Colorado's gotta feel a little left out in all this. They get up and leave and nobody remembered they were ever at the table in the first place. Texas is going to be wishing they could trade KSU for Colorado again now that they have to play them every year. Snyder can coach circles around Mack Brown. Hell Ron Prince was coaching circles around Mack Brown and his band of underachievers for years. 1 Quote Link to comment
