Sad or Happy we don't play Oklahoma anymore?

Sad, its been a long rivalry

[papersun87]

Yeah, I'll miss Oklahoma. I think I was more pumped/edge-of-my-seat/what have you during that 10-3 game in 2009 than in most Husker games.

 

As much as everyone wants to put the blame on Martinez for us blowing a 17-3 lead over them in last year's B12 championship game, I still hate Cotton for our crappy OL that gave him ZERO time to make any decisions. Also, I bet Henery could have made a 60+ yard game-tying FG if they would've let him try . . . (you see, THIS is a rivalry, the little stuff that irritates you all offseason that makes you ache to get one more shot at them . . .)

Sure, I'm a little sad. But our new B1G sched offsets it. Plus, it'll be all the more sweeter when we meet those Friggin' Hillbillies in a bowl game. And crush them.

I'm still pissed at watson for forcing Taylor to pass on 3rd down instead of just running something to get Alex within range on one of those final trips across midfield. I don't remember it all but there was a particular 3rd down late in the game that Taylor was sacked and it knocked us out of range. I kept yelling at the TV just run the ball and kick the field goal! It seemed fitting for Alex to end his legacy with a shot at the end.

Sad, only because I live in OKC and would have to only travel 10 miles to watch the game.

Honestly, the nostalgia will always be there...but that ship named Despair sailed in 1996.

 

Agree

Seriously we are going to go through this again?!? Who's next Mizzou? Still shocked the Clown thread went up first. But then I remember the Clown who just won't let it die

Another reason we left the conference, Tom wanted to keep the rivalry every season but Texas said no.

 

 

Oklahoma said no, We can't pin this one on Texas

Well, sorta. Oklahoma recruits Texas hard so there was that incentive

Yep.

 

I'm excited for the future. And I'll miss Missouri more.

Bunch of cheating used car salesmen. good riddance.

I know one thing for sure. If you want to contrast fans, contrast Nebraska and Oklahoma fans. I spent some time on the Sooner football forum last year, and every other post is "corn faggets" or "huck the fuskers" or "f____ Nebraska", "bugeaters" on and on. They have a "reputation" page where they can hurl insults at you just to brighten your day. Contrast that with this thread for example, with mostly utmost respect for the opponent. It really is what sets NU fans apart. My daddy told me how they was when I was young and I thought he was just partial. One of these days I will learn to listen to him.
