Big 10 laughing stock of college football

[Omaha fan]

This has been all over facebook. Yes we have the folks in even lowly  Jackson Mississippi making fun of our league on the state traffic control billboards. 

 

That’s just the start of things. Very funny stuff

Like I said much earlier, the big 10 will be the butt of many well crafted zingers like this thanks to us sitting this fall season out. 
 

yes of course the pac 12 isn’t playing either but most of the country could care less, and the west coast doesnt either, so why bother even mentioning them lol

FACEBOOK?!?!

As the season plays out hopefully those kids in the coveted southeast don’t think this is the kind of football being played here:

 

We have to let them know that’s west coast style futbol, not quite at that level here yet lol

Why do we care what other conferences think of us? They're going to hate us no matter what we do, how we play. The Big Ten could win the next five championships and they'd rip on us.

Nope it doesn’t matter what they think.

 

It matters what all those very talented players in the southeast think along with their parents and coaches who influence where those kids go to school. The big 10 is going to be continually blasted nationally when these 100s of college football games are being played.

Agree. It was better when we were not in the big 10, watching the joke. Now we are part of the joke

Talented players in the Southeast will just go on doing what they always do: Consider the Big Ten and others... and then go join up with a Southeastern powerhouse like they wanted to anyway.

 

Most players and fans in the South don’t think The Ten or anybody else is the equal of Southeast football. And they have plenty of good reasons to think so. Southern talent will go somewhere else if it’s a numbers game at their position and another conference would be best for their career. But that's not where their heart is.

 

The Big Ten now fully has a reputation of being out of touch, not transparent, arrogant, and dismissive of athletes and parents and fans. But this does present a great opportunity for the Huskers. If they continue to challenge The Ten’s powers-that-be and offer pushback and stand up for the rights of players and parents and fans, they will gain some good-will traction nationally. It might even get them a top recruit or two down the line who was impressed with the Huskers’ stance on this Big Ten dysfunction.

 

There might also be another Big Ten program or two silently cheering the Huskers on with their pushback. There is stress on the Big Ten member programs right now and an eventual divorce is likely, and the Huskers can use this to their advantage if they play their cards right.

You know what's worse than not having football all year?

Can agree with most of this. But at the end of The day, Nebraska, Ohio state, Michigan, Wisconsin and others are still plucking lots of players from the very deep and wide high quality recruiting grounds of the southeast. 
 

It’s where football is the strongest and will continue to endure there, when other areas numbers decline.  We don’t have to get the top kids now, plenty of low 4 stars and high 3 stars there to be had.

I just mean culturally we dont fit in the big 10. Maybe you like the elitist attitude and makes you feel special to be associated with a bunch of snobs. We love Nebraska FOOTBALL. We would be better fit in the SEC where they have a passion for football. It would allow us to recruit the parts of the country we need to be successful. Football 1, School 2. I know you are a school 1, football 2 kind of guy. Thats fine. good for you. But I dont think the overall sentiment of most nebraskans agree with you- i think they would agree with me. SEC would offer similiar money and its only a matter of time before they pass the BIG10 for biggest earning. SO more than anything if we wanted out of the big12 we should have chosen better. The BIG10 was the rebound girl.
