Conference pride??

[BCS1994]

Do Nebraska fans have any pride in the conference, meaning do they care one way or the other how the other teams perform. Am i wrong on this?

 

I'm an Ohio State fan by the way.

Why do you say that?

Why do you say that?

Just a select group of Husker fans i know. I don't like generalizing the whole base on just a few people.

We had/have a hell of a lot more pride in the Big 10 than we ever had with the Big 12. Big 8 was probably different, but that was before my mental capacity to understand such a thing.

I was rooting for all the B1G teams during the bowl season...

 

I think we're just still getting used to everyone in the conference....developing bonds with all the schools and such.

In the big 12 I always rooted for Nebraska first, Division second, Conference third, and then for who ever played Texas. Now I do the same, except for instead of who plays Texas, it's who plays Ohio State.

i support Nebraska first and foremost... everyone else comes second

I have been rooting for the conference. Not in a fanatic, snobby way like some SEC fans, though.

 

I want all the teams to do well, or as well as possible. Of course, I want NU at the top, or as high as possible.

 

Since we are fairly new to the conference, many of us (me, at least) are still learning the finer points of the new teams and cities and fans and locations. It is exciting, still. So far, we seem to be more at home already than I ever felt in the Big 12. This feels more like the old Big 8 days to me. I see a group of schools with common goals and philosophies, with a strong interest in improving every member. The Big 8 was like that, for the most part. I cannot recall any extremely contentious issues in the Big 8, with the exception of whether or not to take the SWC outcasts or not. That turned out poorly.

 

The Big 12 was a decent idea, I suppose. Especially where TV revenue was concerned. But Texas, being the big population center, wielded the most power. And with no subtlety at all. They carried their power like a sledgehammer and seemed to enjoy displaying it, even over trivial matters. The Big 12 turned into a game of one upmanship. A game NU was neither equipped for nor wanted to take part in. I think the admin at NU did pretty well, all the way to the end, given the circumstances.

 

I feel much more at home in the Big 10, and though I know only a little about some schools, I have a feeling I will be rooting for all these teams for a long time. The common philosophies feel like the old Big 8. It feels like home, in other words, even though we are very new. I am grateful we had a bridge out of the mess developing around us at that time.

Conference pride? What are we, the SEC?

[BCS1994]

In the big 12 I always rooted for Nebraska first, Division second, Conference third, and then for who ever played Texas. Now I do the same, except for instead of who plays Texas, it's who plays Ohio State.

That's a problem...why do you have to hate Ohio State? Please don't let it be because of the 2012 game...

Conference pride? What are we, the SEC?

Well in terms of on the field performance, i wish the B1G was the SEC.

Oh. I don't think he is as bad of a guy as people make him out to be. If he wasn't as succesful as he is, people wouldn't give a f#*k about what he has done.

 

and what has he done?? said he he would never coach again and then took a job at Ohio State?

[jgmdub]

I had a lot of pride being in the Big 12 B10 not so much yet. I guess I just gotta get use to ur ugly faces!!!!lol

[Husker John]

I'm ecstatic that we're in the B1G, and I take pride as a Husker fan that we're members. I think it will take time for Husker fans to acclimate to the B1G culture in taking a positive interest on how other conference members perform, because we left a conference whose culture and rules were to submit to the wishes and desires of the University of Texas, where a lot of Husker fans had no problems praying to the Prince of Darkness in hopes that the Longhorns were subjected to humiliations and failures against any and all opponents.

 

 

 

So now I'm wondering out loud......Do Ohio State fans cheer on Michigan and care how they perform, and does Michigan return the favor for Ohio State ?
