LOL, Nebraska isn't winning 11 games last year. Their team isn't even as good as it was last year.

Never claimed I was smarter or better than anyone on here. If I'm so stupid I wonder why people have wasted countless posts arguing with me. I will gladly take your bet make sure the mods know. Thank you for making this an even more fun year of college football Mr. Gohuge.

10-4 last year with a banged up QB and relied on a freshmen RB. More experience on the O-line, 4 deep at RB, the young WR's are more expereinced, and the secondary is more athletic, plus an easier schedule than last year. They have a good chance at winning 11 games.

No Suh is probably worth a loss or two.

It's not like Crick isn't a first round pick and Steinkuhler was a 5 star rated player in high school.

Looks like billay and Vailpass are having a douche-off.

Who will win?

Yup talking football = douche. Wouldn't expect anything else from a troll.

Based on your calculations, I was actually the second biggest douche in this thread, I'll have you know.

The secondary might be better, but they will probably look worse with Suh missing. He was the heart of their success.

Actually the biggest hole in the defense is probably the middle linebacker position but they have a pretty high rated juco player to fill that position. It's just a question of how long it takes him to adjust.

I'm not making any predictions. Let's just say they have a very good chance of winning all their games. :)

Texas,Texas A&M and Oklahoma to get all penalty money from Colorado,Nebraska leaving.

Texas,Texas A&M and Oklahoma to get 20-24 million in revenue sharing


everyone else gets 14-17 million in revenue sharing


per ESPN College Football Live

If you're trying to tell me Suh leaving isn't going to make a significant difference, I'll tell you you're crazy.

What i'm saying is Nebraska still has one of the best d-lines in the country.

What I'm saying is it's not as good as it was. At all.

You're underestimating the depth of the defensive line. The very good of the many is better than the great of the one. ;)
And that's just the d-line. Linebackers are solid but young and the Huskers will have one of the best defensive backfields in the country.

FYP

This thing is still going? I can't believe you all are still arguing with billay.

You know what they say about trying to reason with.... oh, never mind.

Anyone with a name like Prince Amukamara is guaranteed to be good.

This and i believe we will win 11 games

Look at their schedule and tell me how many games they will be underdogs in. I see maybe 1, and thats Texas at home, but that debatable

Even after reading everyone here yesterday saying that wasn't going to be the case and that everyone was getting a piece of the pie I had no illusions of that happening. Texas, aTm and Oklahoma need to be fed.

I still want to see Harvey Perlman challenge it. Those three schools don't need or deserve more money.

Same here.

God I hate Texas. Too bad Charles Whitman didn't have a nuke instead of a rifle.

Nebraska should be ashamed of themselves for publicly trying to weasel out of paying the penalty when they almost tore up one of the best conferences in america

Point the blame at Texas for harming the conference.

Aren't we all better off now. I'm pretty sure Nebraska is. :)
Sometimes you just know when it's time to move away from your dysfunctional family. :shrug:

Texas didnt breach their contract. Big 10 went after 2 teams this offseason, Texas and Notre Dame. Since CFB is about money, you cater to those that make it. Losing Nebraska hurts in "brand" name of conference schools. But they were 4th in revenue, 5th in the big 10. As good as your "brand" is, it leaving isnt a deal breaker. Texas leaving is.


Personally, I'd rather the NU/CU fine be equally divided, then a pay for performance sharing installed. This isnt a union. When something is performance driven,i.e, branding one's name, those that perform should stand to benefit.

Does this dumb bitch just jump into every random argument? STFU

Pot meet kettle.

Texas and Oklahoma couldn't wait to leave after Nebraska left. This situation has shown how important Nebraska is.

Uh we were talking football something that slunt isn't capable of. Keep trying eventually you'll pull some internet poon.

Since both stayed, and A&M didnt jump to the SEC, thats hard to prove. Texas wasnt going anywhere, regardless what conference they go to, they would have all the clout. This is all about money. Texas has it, and they generate it at rates only one other school could even imagine it. Which by the way, if ND ever goes to the Big 10, guarantee they are your new Texas. ND only goes to the big 10 if they get a Texas deal. For now, you have to deal with the money and power that tOSU and Michigan bring to the table.



I hate seeing NU leave. I am a kid of the Big 8. But the grass isnt greener on the other side. The schools left in the BXII-II will benefit from NU and CU leaving in the short term. NU isnt a Texas/OU/A&M when it comes to CFB revenues. It just means there is one less school to split revenue with. With CU leaving, 2 less schools.

Her slutnicity (pm sent), has nothing to do with it.

LMAO

You have a short memory. Almost the entire Big 12 South was leaving for the Pac-10 until Dan Beebe came up with a bunch of money.

I would also add that while UT has more money than NU, the margin isn't a huge amount.

Texas being what they are in revenue, knew you were the next choice of the big 10. And they stayed. If Texas does get its own network, it will make more money than the Big 10 network. Nothing NU or any other school outside Notre Dame does, will affect them. You'll see, tOSU wont watch the other schools get theirs when they could get theirs also. You've gone from one strong hand to another.


Bright side is, NU/OU can now resume its rivalry, that's if you can slide us between SDSU and W. Kentucky.

Matt O'Hanlon made Landry Jones his bitch.

LINCOLN — Barry Alvarez’s belief that Nebraska would fit well in the Big Ten goes back further than six months ago, when the Wisconsin athletic director was dining with Commissioner Jim Delany and the topic came up.

Alvarez has believed it for more than 40 years.

Alvarez lettered as a Nebraska linebacker from 1965 through 1967. The Huskers played both Wisconsin and Minnesota during that time and had gone against Michigan just a few years before.

“We would have loved to play in this league back then,” Alvarez said Wednesday from Madison, Wis. “I would have loved to play Ohio State.”

Alvarez said NU will bring many of the same assets to the Big Ten that it could have offered then, but with an even stronger reputation for its football program built by the 408 wins and five national titles since Alvarez left Lincoln.

“When you talk about expansion, you have to bring something to the table to make it worthwhile,” Alvarez said. “And that brand is very visible and was, I think, very important in our decision to accept Nebraska.”

Alvarez reiterated other reasons that were thrown around last week as the Nebraska-Big Ten drama played out.

A good match geographically. Academics and philosophies that fit the ideals of the current 11 league members. A broad-based athletic department with commitments to sports other than just football.

“I just think it’s a natural fit,” Alvarez said.

Alvarez was visiting with Delany in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 2 when they started talking about schools that might be expansion candidates. Delany brought up Nebraska. They discussed it, and Alvarez wondered if NU Athletic Director Tom Osborne might be interested.

“It just so happened Tom and I talked the next day, and the ball just started rolling,” Alvarez said. “I brought up that our commissioner was asking about them.

“I told Tom I was there for any questions that he might have. We might have talked a few times after that.”

Alvarez said he didn’t think that anything would happen so fast. He complimented the work by Delany and the league and its presidents — “how nimble they were” — in adding Nebraska as the 12th member with a Big Ten start date of July 1, 2011.

“Decisions had to be made quickly, and they were,” he said. “That was pretty impressive.”

Both Alvarez and Minnesota Athletic Director Joel Maturi envision a seamless transition for Nebraska, much like Penn State’s when it officially joined the Big Ten in 1993. Maturi was an associate athletic director at Wisconsin when the Nittany Lions came aboard.

“I remember it well, and I think this will be received similarly,” Maturi said. “I think people are excited about it. I don’t see any wrinkles about it at all.”

What should make it a smooth process for Nebraska, Maturi said, is the leadership in the Big Ten of Delany, the presidents, the athletic directors and the coaches. As for the 11 existing members, Alvarez said it’ll be best for them just to go about their business.

“Our league, we work very well together,” Alvarez said. “There aren’t any bullies in that meeting room. Everybody is concerned about the conference. Naturally you’re concerned with your program, but I think we work well together, and I think everyone understands the philosophies of our league.”

#7000 ****ing posts.

dude



stfu and pay attention, its getting hard trying to defend you, stfd and sftu

At some point NU will have to learn to score, no? Just glad we have dumbass billay signed up for a two month ban. It will be nice.

NU fans can be happy they've done what they did as far as joining the Big 10. Doesn't make them better or worse. The idea or notion that it did is idiotic.

They'll still have a very tough time in football, but maybe they won't finish last in basketball anymore. I'm sure all the local schools will miss the gimmie games we get twice a year, but good riddens.

BTW it's SLUT Billay and Luv doesn't deserve that. I'll give you a go **** yourself on her behalf.

According to Forbes Nebraska is 4th in total revenue. With Texas above them in the Big 12.

He didn't do shit. Nothing has changed. A new TV contract was going to happen, regardless, and naturally the money will be greater.

Thankfully Harvey Perlman has a somewhat finer grasp on the legalities. Although I'm sure this would sound fabulous in court.

Please change the thread title to "Official Nebraska sucks thread".

Billay should start his own big 10 thread... As far as I am concerned, NU and CU can go and play this year in their new conferences.

Why would you want to hang around with former big 12 fans and act like we still care about your school?

Exactly KSU, KU and MU fans no longer give a shit about Nebraska.

Just like we dont give a shit about the SEC and its Awesomeness.

Alot Nebraska fans will still care about KU football due to Turner Gill being the coach there.

Anything new and worthy, or is "Piss-Fest 2010" simply providing mildly entertaining uselessness still?

ROFL

Yep, everyone left because of Nebraska. They are so great.

LMAO

im sad .. not ...

Ok, I have tried to catch up from being gone a few days, we gained about 2,000 posts and a lot of bickering.

Can someone give me the short version, as to where the Big 12 is at now, and what their plans are?

the big 12 is now the Big 10 sans Colorado and Nebraska


to significantly suck off of Texas,OU,Texas A&M ... all the other teams will take less money and not take any of the penalty money for CU and NU leaving the conference.

no championship game because of only 10 teams unless a special petition goes to the NCAA.

TExas can have their own t.v. network and not share any of the money


basically everyone bent over and let Texas stick their penis up their bungholes so that they would stay in the conference.

Hemi,

Everyone is making more money now, and the conference is stronger. Don't let this blowhard recap what happened.

Thanks much for the update. So the Big 8 traded CU and Nebraska for Baylor, aTm, TTech and Texas.

They will just about have to play each team when the schedules are set up for the 10 teams, correct?

Or will it be a rotational schedule, so they can still put some cupcakes and other rivalries on the docket?

The conference was on life support. Beebe managed to put together enough $ to get everybody back at the table.
UT didn't want to look like the bad guy in breaking up the conference and severing ties with aTm, who was threatening to go to the SEC.

As a result of the $, which is a combination of revenue disbursements that WOULD have gone to UNL and CU and the ESPN/ABC contract. (20-40 mill according some reports), The Island Of Misfit <strike>Toys</strike> Universities (who had no offers) agreed to allow that money to be given to UT, aTm and OU. In return the TV contract will pay them up to 10mil more per fiscal year than they are getting now.

So yea, TIOMU's kinda gave up some money (that they never really had) but in return they appear to have at least 5 years of conference stability, as that is when the next ESPN/ABC contract will be negotiated (2016).

That is great news, thanks!

Not now. In the future with a new TV contract, just as we would had nothing happened. But we will get to divide this money 10 ways instead of 12, which is cool.

Really, nothing happened, except the other schools provided the Big Three with a parachute, should revenue predictions prove faulty.

Play evewrybody in FB and home and home in BBall.


It's going to be fantastic.

There are two contracts. The FSN contract expires after 2011. The ESPN/ABC deal expires in 2016.

What's up with KSU fans and their constant use of stupid ****ing acronyms? But, yeah, all B12 schools are pretty much better off now. Laz is just an eternal pessimist who knows no happiness in life. :)

You don't really believe this, right?

Also, it leaves the option open for TIOMU's to have their own networks also. I jhope we have enough misfits that are smart enough to put this together.

No. I compressed the story a LOT.

S.T.F.U ( j/k)

That's because EMAW is BITB, just like Kietzman (also BITB), and it's only a matter of time that WRSOAT gets a GRCOAT (somehow)

I've gotta agree on the acronyms. WTF dude?

S,T.W.OSTG (Saul, that was outstanding).

What are those?

N. I.G.T.P.T.W.A.T.T.

Now I'm going to post this way all the time.

Heard anything about our new MysTran? I also heard BB was a SiComm (but will have a presser today)

Best in the Biz
Worst Recruiting Staff of All Time (referring to our football staff)

Lose the periods. They are not cool. ROFL

Thanks William, when I left this thread on Sunday, I was convinced the Big12 was toast. This is actually good news for the Kansas schools, hopefully recruiting will be as good, if not better.

The STL contingent of the MU fanbase uses pretentious acronyms too. HCGP (Head Coach Gary Pinkel) and HCMA (Head Coach Mike Anderson). Those acronyms infuriate me.

GoPowertards (members of the popular Rivals site Gopowercat.com) use the following acronyms:

HCFM = Head Coach Frank Martin
HCDP = Head Coach Deb Patterson
LHCBS = Legendary Head Coach Bill Snyder
UPJW = University President Jon Wefald
UPKS = University President Kirk Schulz
ADJC = Athletic Director John Currie

:facepalm:

The Hall of Fame can wait. The grave might come first.
