NebraskaShellback Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 http://mgoblog.com/d...ig-10-and-why-0 Nebraska fans: Who you'll hate in the Big 10 and why. OhioState: You will instantly hate Ohio State. Everyone always does. You will find their fans ignorant, crass, and crude. You will wonder why there are not jail cells in Ohio Stadium like there are in the Pros. Of all of the Big 10 schools, Ohio State will remind you the most of a Big 12 South school. Michigan: You will find Michigan fans arrogant with a sense of entitlement, but for no justifiable reason. They will be knowledgeable and friendly when you visit their house, but they will talk about you behind your back. You will get so sick of hearing about the split 1997 National Championship that you will gladly give them the crystal trophy from your half of the title, just to shut them up. Of all of the Big 10 teams, Michigan fans will treat you like a guest in "their" conference the longest. PennState: Penn State will be assigned to you as one of your designated rivals. You will not be asked your opinion about this. It will be for the Big 10's convenience, not yours. You will try to play along, but you won't actually hate Penn State. You will find their constant whining about the refs, the scheduling, the weather, the whatever, to be pathetic. You'll pity them more than hate them. MichiganState: You will not hate Michigan State at first. Until they finally beat you. Then you will hate Michigan State. That one win is all you'll hear about until your ears bleed. It won't matter if you beat them the next 9 years in a row, that one win is all you'll hear about. Nobody gets more mileage out of one win per decade than Michigan State. Iowa: You will feel compelled to hate Iowa because of proximity. The rivalry will be intense and passionate, but as long as you win your fair share, it will never quite digress into true pure hatred. You will be a little disappointed by this. Wisconsin: This will be your biggest rival. When you look in the mirror, you will see Wisconsin. Everything you like about yourself you will see in Wisconsin. Everything you don't like about yourself you will see in Wisconsin. You both currently occupy the position of kings of honest, in-your-face, power football. The Big 10 town won't be big enough for the both of you. Illinois: Illinois will annoy the hell out of you. They will show up once a year and declare themselves your biggest rival, even though you'll have no recollection of actually losing to them. After your game with them, you will completely forget all about them until next year when they will remind you again. Minnesota: You will dread playing Minnesota. Not because of the hatred of a bitter rivalry, but because there is just nothing to gain. If you win, it was what you were supposed to do. If you lose, it will always be in the back of your mind: We just lost to Minnesota. Is this the inflection point of a lousy season? Ask Penn State about this. Northwestern: You will admire and respect Northwestern for how, against the odds of being a small private academic school, they still field some competitive winning teams. You will show your admiration and respect by beating the crap out of them. Indiana and Purdue: You won't care at all about Indiana and Purdue. You will feel bad about this. But you still won't care. welcome I miss playing football in a snow storm! If a team wears orange, I hate orange! I will not give that crystal football of '97 to Michigan We keep the NU and Northwestern can live with it! Thank you for the Welcome! :devil :devil :devil :devil :devil :devil Quote Link to comment
azzgunther Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I grew up watching my team slowly gain national respect after starting from almost nothing. I always kind of held Nebraska as the benchmark that we should measure ourselves by. Meanwhile, Nebraska was out pounding the hell out of everybody. I hoped that the Badgers would one day get the Huskers in a home game to see how we stack up against you. When UW went to an option-heavy offense from 1996-2001 I was really tantalized by the similarities between the programs. Obviously Nebraska has, of late, gotten away from the 'ram it down your throat' style of offense but the two programs resemble one-another in so many ways, from the enthusiasm on a Saturday to the understanding that they do things honestly to the uniforms and stadiums. Welcome to the B1G! Welcome to the message board communities. Your fanbase has a reputation that will fit well. You'll find that the arguments are just as passionate, but perhaps with better grammar than you're used to. Unless you're on Ohio State's boards. I'm genuinely excited that this day has come.

Blaze1up Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Watching it all day on B1G 10 TV, beautiful man. Was listening to Ben Maller last night and he was saying ESPN low balled the Big 10 thus creating the B1G Ten Network and leading us to this decision, so thanks to the 4 letter network. We Love It !

BigRedPowerWagon Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Very impressed with the red carpet treatment the big 10 and the big 10 network is giving Nebraska right now. Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 From the Big-8 to the Big 12 and now moving on to the B1G. Even though I will always miss the Big-8 years, this is just a great move for the university in more ways that one. I will miss playing Okl, but that series was done once we rescued those Texas teams and formed the Big-12. T O was right from day one about that stupid move. That's in the past, now on to bigger and better things. GO BIG RED, I love the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Quote Link to comment
IlliniHusker Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Really enjoyed seeing the BTN programs to welcome Nebraska. All were well done. Earlier this year I got a Big Red Husker flag and have been flying it in front of the house this week. I'm sure that over time the I will grow to dislike some Big 10 schools, but for right now I like everyone! (except maybe Michigan.... and Ohio State.... and maybe Penn State too. Now that I think about it a little longer, Iowa fans are just plane obnoxious). Quote Link to comment

Really thou, I understand all the moves you guys have been thru in the years, and really this is not a welcome to the B10 but more of a welcome home. Come right in, sit down and have a beer. We might remind you to take your shoes off at the door now and again. We hate each other like brothers. It's ok for us to hate each other, but we tend to defend each other as well.

Notre Dame Joe Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 It's fun to see these bowl games that I didn't really watch back then. Especially to watch thugU collapse in the 4th quarter. But the BTN is run by Buzz Killington, the documentary shows are Nyquil. Quote Link to comment
