Husker Hoosier Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It was a good move. Also, the only reply to this "gem" I know that everyone says that the Big 12 catered to Texas and Oklahoma, but how is it any different from catering to Ohio State and Michigan (which the Big 10 does)? can be... Are you being sarcastic by being sarcastic about someone saying that the B1G caters to Ohio St. and Michigan? You'd have to be blind and/or stupid to think otherwise. Quote Link to comment
Ric Flair Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I like it overall. More money, better academics, good cultural fit, etc. given the state of our program, I think we're lucky to be in the Big Ten. The Big 12 is a lot better football conference right now and I hate to imagine what our record might be if we were still there. Quote Link to comment
Husker Hoosier Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The B1G has turned out to be one big, greasy fart for NU. Wouldn't you much rather play Missouri, K-State, Texas, CU, OU, etc. rather than friggen Illinois, Perdue, and for God's sake Rutgers! I agree that Texas was the bully of the Big 12, but man it was fun to play them. We come to the B1G and get run over by a bunch of never-rans like Wisconsin. I was at the B1G Championship game and let me tell you the Wisconsin fans and most B1G fans in general have no respect for Husker football. At least when OU or Texas would stomp us the fans still had some reverence for us. The games that we played against Colorado when they were on their way down were 10x's more exciting than just about any B1G game thus far. The answer is no, it sucks. 2 Quote Link to comment
WhatDoIKnow Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 From an academic standpoint it was a good move. From a football standpoint? Meh. Quote Link to comment
WhatDoIKnow Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Iowa reminds me of the teams that try to make a rivalry up when there is none Iowa has Iowa St, so we will never be their rival. If anything it is NU looking for one. I think Wisconsin moving to the same division will help. OU was Nebraska's rival, but Texas was more important to OU. Colorado wanted to be our rival, but we thumbed our nose at them. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Jeebus. Lose one game. One frickin game and a couple defensive sh**ty performances and we start questioning literally EVERYTHING. Holy cow, let me guess. Next we're gonna question the reality of Chimney Rock and sweet corn. 1 Quote Link to comment

Next we're gonna question the reality of Chimney Rock and sweet corn. My questioning the move isn't due to the performance of the team this year. I have felt uneasy about the move as a whole. Is it good for the University, yes. But, as a fan, I preferred the old conference. Quote Link to comment

Some people didn't like the move from the start. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Im not thrilled we lose playing Michigan and Penn State yearly but overall its been worth it. The Little 12 is a sinking ship with a piece of gum plugging the leak. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I think Northwestern and Wisconsin are the biggest potential rivals at the moment. Northwestern seems to be the Big 10 version of Kansas State, purple kitties will catch you off guard some years and beat ya. Wisconsin has the potential to be a good ole fashioned slobberknocker each year, most likely the game that determines the West champion starting next year. As for Illinois, Purdue, Iowa, and Minnesota I really don't have any feelings on any of them, Minnesota is a good trip but the rest are blah. I drove to Michigan and Indianapolis for games so far, and the drives through Iowa, Illinois and Indiana are boring as hell. Quote Link to comment

OH HSKR FAN Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 All the KC area fans that don't like the move? Tough crap! You can get to Lincoln at a much cheaper cost than me. Lincoln, NE has not moved with the conference change. I love the move. Quote Link to comment
