Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd love to see Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado regularly in football and MBB schedules. I was never pleased with their business decisions, but I hate giving up what makes college sports fun - good old fashioned hatred.
UNL AD mentions interest in future games vs. ISU
- Thread starter weR138
- Start date
Sorry, but no. I can’t get on board with playing Nebraska in any major sports. After the way that they conducted themselves the last couple of years in the Big12, and the way they left, they’re dead to me.
We scrimmage NU in basketball, KU scrimmaged Missouri for charity, we played Colorado at the Pentagon, we played at Missouri, we played A&M in the SEC challenge.
Seems like bygones have become bygones in basketball but not football yet.

Embrace the hatred. Lock out Nebby. Screw them forever.
What? No. That's the exact opposite of what I typed. You play the ones you hate, that's what makes it so damn fun.
I'm so tired of the jilted lover routine. I get it, they left the B12 years ago, it's time to get over it.
I don't see much difference between MAC teams and low-level Big 10 teams. I would definitely prefer playing Nebraska (or Illinois or Minnesota) to playing Akron. The degree of difficulty doesn't change much but we get a lot more credibility beating a Big 10 team.
So, you cool with ending up in the AAC?
Because if we do it'll be a direct result of Nebraska's b*tchassedness.
No, it would be a direct result of poor planning and business decisions by ISU. Nebraska is accountable for Nebraska, ISU is accountable for ISU.
no thanks, if you want to play us you should've stayed.
You should go be a ****ing Nebraska fan then.
Because KU, KSU and (most) ISU fans know this is bull****.
C'mon man, chill out. Half the conference (that we know of) shopped around. Hell, Missouri tried to leave first when they were knocking on Delaney's door to get into the Big Ten. The B12 looked like it legitimately might die. It wasn't unlikely Nebraska wouldn't have found themselves in a similar scenario than the one we were all scared of for ISU if it did die. I don't like that the conference fell apart, but I can curb my enthusiasm long enough to realize each University did what was best (at the time) for their school.
You need to grow up, dude.
Do you really think Nebraska's situation and ISU's situation were even remotely similar at the time?

You may need to subscribe to see this but the gist is, Huskers would pack stadiums in Ames, Manhattan and Lawrence like they did in the 90's....and that none of the local programs are on their level so they would have nothing to gain nationally. They do add that they would be willing to play us in bball. How gracious of them.

As I recall putting air under the ball was the problem. They had the outside contain fooled and all he had to do was zip the ball to the receiver but he lofted one into a head wind which gave the defender time to recover and break up the pass.
