It's done, deal with it. and the traveling won't be that much different only instead of traveling to half sold 40'00 seat stadiums, we'll be going to 70-110,000 full colosseumsi still don,t like nu joining the big 10, allways hated he big 10....playing ohio state, penn state, they are eastern schools, location is a big problem in my book. i will go never like the move , regardless of osborn, etc....it was about money, nothing eles
State College, PA is about 250 miles farther then Austin, TX. That is about 1/2 hour in a jet.i still don,t like nu joining the big 10, allways hated he big 10....playing ohio state, penn state, they are eastern schools, location is a big problem in my book. i will go never like the move , regardless of osborn, etc....it was about money, nothing eles
Michigan is also supposedly getting faster with RichRod's spreadI must admit I wasn't that crazy about the Big 10 and initially had a negative feeling when I first heard about the possible move. But to be honest with you, I did not have any good reasons, like the poster, for my past feeling for the Big 10. Once I understood the whole story about how it will help NU academically and perhaps Nebraska's economy, I was in.
I have had the impression in comparing the Big 10 to the Big 12 South Division, that the Big 12 South had more speed overall. But even though OSU looked slower against LSU in that NC game a few years ago, they did defeat Miami in that NC game some years back. One out of three isn't too bad. With Pelini making Nebraska into a fast team again, like Osborne's later teams, that maybe would help inspire more Big 10 teams to get faster -- but I think the Big 10 teams are already improving on that.
More appealing academically? More appealing economically for the state of Nebraska? ??????????when you remove money as a factor, I would say I find the Big 12 much, much more appealing.
Oppressive Texas is appealing <_<when you remove money as a factor, I would say I find the Big 12 much, much more appealing.
On behalf of buckeye nation, I'd appreciate it if you'd never again refer to LSU, the SEC, or anything that could cause us to remember that they exist--at least as far as bowl games are concerned. We're just fine in the regular season, but that's not as interesting....

100% correct.How about the fact that we are no longer in a conference that can be held hostage by one school. If the big 12 had accpeted the big 8 history, if the conference were ran fairly, and if there was equal revenue sharing. I would also appose the move, but since none of those happened. I'm all for the move
Yeah the first thing that popped into my mind when Ted Ginn Jr scored that opening kickoff against florida was....it's only a matter of time before those blazing fast florida players take over this game...Michigan is also supposedly getting faster with RichRod's spreadI must admit I wasn't that crazy about the Big 10 and initially had a negative feeling when I first heard about the possible move.

... that's if he stays though
But I agree I used to always see it as a slow conference, but maybe that's cause I stereotyped the Big 10
