HuskerNationNick Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Also, I don't see anywhere, where they say that the SEC is almighty. They are simply saying that they are the winning conference for their additives. Not only did they win from it in TV deals, Mizzou and TAMU won by all the revenue they brought in. MUCH more than what they were making in the Big 12, while producing a Heisman winner. That conference, and those two teams have done a lot more since their move, than we have the whole time we have been here. Sorry to be blunt about it, but it is what it is. Our move was good, as theirs were too. We just haven't done squat, as they have, even in an "overrated" conference. 2 Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 A&M has been murdering Texas on the recruiting trails. Lots of Texas kids want to play in the SEC. They are no longer little brother, huge win for them, same for MU Quote Link to comment

Creed Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Bloomington is short flight or 7 hour drive- haven't been since the 90s game in old stadium, Had great time. So from a fans perspective- traveling, benefits to both What suits you best Went there for a couple Ohio State games. Bloomington is nice and spending Friday in nearby Nashville (Brown Co. State Park) in the fall is great. Nashville Indiana is a quaint little town with craft shops, decent restaurants and B&Bs if that's your thing. Don't make the mistake of driving in on game day from Indianapolis. two lane road and the traffic was absolutely awful. The local police probably just wanted to piss off all the ohio state fans traveling to the game. We got there end of 2nd qtr. The stadium is ho hum and is pretty much a home game for Ohio State.

huKSer Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 ISU always sucked. Jack Trice is like sitting in a wind tunnel. JT is being remodeled, will be the 3rd biggest in conference Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 ISU always sucked. Jack Trice is like sitting in a wind tunnel. JT is being remodeled, will be the 3rd biggest in conference Every time I see Jack Trice it makes me hungry for Hunan chicken. It must be their red-gold Chinese restaurant colors.

The Minnesota game I went to was in the old Dome They served beer and the steps were REALLY steep, but all seats had backs and cup holders Felt like you were going to fall over onto the field, that was before the first beer Thought it was fine- havent been to new stadium Minneapolis is great town Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That looks the same as the old Jack Trice. Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 K-State is a simple and fun short road trip- always good Iowa State was always cold and nasty, traffic sucked- but close KU- meh Oklahoma was fun- Lindsey Ave OU is iconic and OKC has really improved Texas A&M is great- The Yell practice and College Station is fantastic experience. Not great flights and 13 hours if you drive it Never been to TCU but love Ft Worth- Cow City rodeo etc So compare that with Northwestern- the train, Chicago is a blast, great flights and hotels Rutgers will be fun- did 2 Kickoff Classics in NJ - NYC is great trip, LOTS of NU fans there. Been to New Brunswick worked there one weekend- close to NYC- good spot Bloomington is short flight or 7 hour drive- haven't been since the 90s game in old stadium, Had great time. Iowa City is beautiful in the fall- the Airliner and Amanas great food, fans not so great Big House- 1 hour or so from Detroit airport, easy travel, direct flight, right down interstate nice expensive college town with a really cool and PACKED bar/restaurant area. Was good, not great, fans were fine. No others So from a fans perspective- traveling, benefits to both What suits you best ISU always sucked. Jack Trice is like sitting in a wind tunnel. That is true- every time we went but once- same story First time I went 1979- bought our tickets at rest stop on the way from starting WB Kenny Browns wife Quote Link to comment

JT is being remodeled, will be the 3rd biggest in conference Please don't remind me, I have had to do some work up there, and it made me nauseous. I am hoping I don't go back. Every day I was hoping my truck wouldn't be vandalized in their student lot with a HUGE Huskers decal on the back window LOL. Quote Link to comment
