Big 10 = Big Trouble

Are we better off in the big 12 north than big 10 as far as won loss record goes?

Am I the only one worried about how our Huskers will fair in the Big 10??

Think about it. We should be able to beat Indiana, Northwestern, Illinois usually. I fear that Ohio St., Wisc., Michigan (once they rebound), Penn St., and Iowa will routinely beat us. Other teams I'd put about 50/50 depending on what type of year they and we are having. I know that Minnesota has a DC that will have his boys looking to light their hair on fire and cause a wreck when they play our Huskers. Makes me hope we can keep the big 12 together. At least we're somewhat competitive in the North Division.

GBR!

 
ur screen name gives you instant credibility. You should probably be very worried cause the big 10 would rock us. Minnesota scares me. :sarcasm

 
I understand your concern, but I would enjoy the better competition. You can probably bet that the games will be a lot closer than they tend to be in the Big 12 North, however, I also like beating the tar out of people so I guess it's a tough trade-off.

 
If you are afraid of some competition, Nebraska will never again become the National power we all think they are close to being. How can one be afraid of teams that Ohio St beats up upon regularly if you want to be compared to the SEC teams?

 
I doubt we ever play a tougher schedule than what we do in the big big xii........ We can figure on playing around 3 ranked opponents in the big xii every year- if we go to the big ten I doubt that changes....

 
Michigan will never rebound. Plus we prob won play Penn State, Ohio State every year. Right now we are a better program overall than Wisconsin and Iowa. Iowa had once a decade success this past year. They will go back to 8-4 like team now, then blossom again for a year or 2 within the next 10 years.

Why do you think that? They don't have the greatest win/loss record in college football by accident. The fan base they have, the athletic department they have, the history and resources and track record and alumni they have won't let them stay down long. There probably isn't a school in all of college football that is less likely to remain down long than Michigan.

Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, Alabama, Auburn, Miami, Florida State - these are all prominent programs that had rough patches in the past 20 years, yet rebounded. And not one of them can boast a better support structure than Michigan.

It's safe to say that I do not agree with your assessment.

You do know that Nebraska did beat a favored Michigan team in the 05' Alamo Bowl with Callahan??? Speaking of records against Big 10 teams you should look at the records starting with the Bob Devaney Era to present against the Big 10 and you'll feel better about the move.

Nebraska is holding their ground better with nearly beating VT in Blacksburg which is tough to do and beating the #2 team in the country in Texas in 60 minutes but eventually losing to Texas in 60 minutes and 1 second. I like our chances in the Big 10 with Bo at the helm and we'll be pretty scary in that conference.

I think he meant to say that Michigan won't rebound with Rich Rodriguez as their Head Coach.

Kinda meant that sarcastically. I just havent seen them get any better with RichRod running the show. If they dont win this year, then they will never win with RichRod. Just my thoughts.

I have the same feeling too. Going to the Big Ten will become a Nebraska-Ohio State conference. I love the idea of competing with OSU every year for the conference title.
