What do those who lead THE Big Ten say now to Husker fans who now have to watch the SEC steal the Nation's football heart?
Everyone knows where the problems for this fiasco of a non-football season come from, and they’re not coming from Lincoln. Everyone knows the Huskers have led the push-back against the Big Fourteen’s decision to cancel fall football and Husker faithful have made their displeasure fairly clear.
Everyone knows why the Huskers got hooked up with this Conference Of Confusion that will never be as much fun or as much home as the Old Big Eight was. Who thought we would miss playing Kansas so much? And OH for a home game with Iowa State!
And what about Husker fans? What about all the people and families around America (and the World) who have lived and died with this football team for generations? What about all the businesses that risk disappearing because our Fall ritual each week has been erased by those who hide behind excuses and vague and conflicted “Science”?
What about our State’s Identity that is more tied to its Big State University than any other State in the Union being so trivialized and devalued?
Perhaps, these words... “From all of us in the Big Ten...”
“Dear Husker fans, we’re truly sorry for what has transpired this year with regard to your University, your sports programs, and your entire educational lives. We’re sorry that we give your opinion so little importance and that we prefer to make decisions shrouded in secrecy and in a haze of Rust Belt confusion and Old Steel Mill fog than listening to some its proud members like you.
We’re sorry to all you Husker fans who won’t be packing The Sea of Red and striking fear in the hearts of Husker opponents. And to all the young men and women who are being robbed of their game-day experience that they will never get back.
We’re sorry to all those courageous farmers in your State who are fighting off financial ruin to keep your farms operating and our bellies fed and who listen to Husker games while toiling out in your fields. You do something with corn, right? Or is it wheat?
We’re sorry to all you business owners who may never be able to keep your doors open. And to all who are losing a small fortune and the great impact that has on your community and your families.
In short, from THE Big Ten to Husker Nation, we’re sorry. We still won’t listen to you, but you can’t say we didn’t apologize!
And in conclusion, what would YOU as a Husker fan want to say to THE Big Confused Ten?
