okaive Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I will agree that I am more intune with the B1G. Hell I am watching the rerun of Northwestern now. I never watched any Big 12 games unless at a friends house while they are watching OU. Oh, and down with Iowa. Their state literally has a funky smell. Benefits for NU Better Hockey (if they ever get it) I think our volleyball and wrestiling are better? Not getting this one. Are you saying NU is better or Yours is better? With NU always getting the Volleyball championship, I am hoping your saying NU is better. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 But as my Iowa friends would tell me "Dude you played against Southern Mississippi." True, but if you take the Boise State stance when they go undefeated in a crap conference and brag about it, S. Miss was 12-0 last year, so we can boast about that. lol Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think Penn State's volleyball team has won a few more championships than ours has especially in the last decade. Quote Link to comment

I thought Penn State was good. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 NU/OU rivalry died a long time ago. The year was 1994. Trust me. Quote Link to comment
IlliniHusker Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The move from the Big XII to the BIG was great for both NU and the most revered oldest conference. I think the benefits go both ways. NU has been a positive influence ..... think the PSU - NU game last year. Extremely emotional and I can't think of another confrontation that would have been as classy and as moving to heal to PSU. That prayer ceremony in the middle of the field would have been phony with just about any other school, but not with NU. I'm was as proud to be a Husker as if we had won a National Championship!

BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm completely happy that we are part of the B1G. I root for all the teams in the conference except Iowa........I hate them with every fiber of my being now. Their fans NEVER shut up! Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 i was actually cheering for Michigan last Saturday(apparently it didnt help) I dont remember doing that for Big 12 teams Quote Link to comment
Flood Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I cheered for Michigan as well. Imagine how bad it might have been had we not cheered. Might have really gotten out of hand. Yay for us. Quote Link to comment

They've managed to become the Colorado of the B1G conference in little over a year... Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Probably the biggest bonus I see to the Big 10 over the 12 dwarfs is the commissioner looking out for all 12 teams. When the Big 12 started it always seemed that Beebe was eating at the Texas training table and got his marching orders at breakfast. So far I'm not seeing that here. Quote Link to comment

Very well said. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 But as my Iowa friends would tell me "Dude you played against Southern Mississippi." You're joking, right? 1) -3 for having friends in Iowa that aren't Husker fans 2) "Dude...you had to come from behind to beat N. Illinois at the end of the game." Nothing more to say?

NoLongerN Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I find myself pulling for the Big 12 teams, the Big 8 specifically. I never liked the Big 10 teams and felt it was usually overrated. Now, even with us in it, I believe it to be weaker then the other major conferences ($EC, Big 12 and PAC 12), least this year. I agree that we fit in the conference, just can't root for the other tram. Also not a fan of the commish's view on playoffs and I have never liked the Rose Bowl. Hope that things get better in this conference and I think the B1G gets better over the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment
