I'm not comparing fan bases. Just noting that the cry for a boycott is the essense of Aggy. $.02
Grassroots movment to boycott the national tital game.

Fair enough. But the point that this has little impact up here in Nebraska remains.

100% agree. I am rooting for Texas in the NC game. When did we become such sore losers as a fan base? If the roles were reversed, who would the majority of Texas fans be rooting for?

You're saying that if we would have won Saturday night and destroyed their hopes for a chance at the National Title that they would have rooted for us to win the Fiesta bowl? After their inability to get to the game last year? Forgive me if I'm skeptical. <_<

You are forgiven. My point was what if we were headed to the NC game to play Alabama? I don't think Texas fans would be rooting for an Alabama victory.

You folks do what you want to. I'll be watching the game and rooting for Texas!! I see no reason to support ANY team who's playing against a Big 12 team.. PERIOD. Yes, that DOES include Colorado. It does our program no good what ever when another conference team gets beat by another conference.

Finally a voice of reason. I have never seen as much crying over refs as i have from many on this board this year. if you stepped back and looked at it from another perspective you would see just how freaking ridiculous it is for husker fans to claim the big 12 is out to get you. You guys would be suicidal if you actually did happen to root for a team the conference did not care about

I would have been sorely pissed at seeing another chance at a NC game lost in a close game. However, I have nothing but respect for Nebraska and am happy to see them do well (when they aren't playing Texas).
The only Big12 teams that I would not root for in the given circumstances are in the Big12 South.

Not on the subject of the CCG, but have you ever seen as many badly blown calls across the landscape of the Big XII as you've seen this year? Ignoring the CCG, this has been, in my opinion, the worst-called season of football by the zebras I've ever seen. Missed calls, calls gotten flat wrong, misuse of replay, replay "confirming" calls that were wrong... it's been bad.

:yeah
And I will be cheering for Texas. If it can't be us, I want it to be another Big 12 team.

So what you're saying is, the Big 12 does not care about you? Hey, weren't you in the Big 12 Championship game recently. Maybe we should leave the "conference is out to get me" cries to Baylor. :thumbs

you had one main part of your post knapplc. "have you ever seen as many badly blown calls across the landscape of the Big XII". It has been that way for everybody. Everyone has seen bad calls this year, but the continued crying over here is too much. Personally i thought NE fans were supposed to be better than this. Its like about bunch of cry baby little kids. I know its not everyone but man, get over it. How many times did Nebraska get away with calls or had no call made that should have been made. You get breaks and you dont. Lets just put it this way. Tiger board complains less then people here about the refs. That should tell you all you need to know.
