    It's funny that BYU is longing to join a conference that Nebraska happily left.

I didn't mention it earlier but Nebraska has been to more than "two major bowls" since 1997 if the Cotton Bowl is included. So in review, Dodd was correct about Osborne retiring in 1997 and that the Husker's last conference championship was 16 years ago. He got more stuff wrong than right in those three sentences.
        The Cotton Bowl wasn't a major bowl when Nebraska went, so no it doesn't count.

        You said he was playing "loose with the facts." All of the facts he cited are true.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          Playing in four conference championship games over ten years does not equal "not being a factor" in those conferences. The definition of "major bowl" is somewhat subjective. I thought the Cotton Bowl was a "major bowl" when I attended and saw BYU play in it.

            • Shouldn't we stop dwelling in the past and focus on the fact that ESPN has named Nebraska as one of the sleeper teams for this year's CFP?

                    A voice of reason. Nebraska is on it's way to the CFP. In the immortal words of Tommie Frazier to Warren Sapp when Frazier re-entered the 1995 Orange Bowl in the third quarter:
                    Warren Sapp: Hey Tommie, where you been?
                    Tommie Frazier: It's not where I've been...it's where I'm going, fat man.

                        Correct, it will be another Tommie: Tommy Armstrong Jr.

                          I'll stick to what I said last fall: I was simultaneously delighted and horrified when I found out Armstrong Jr had another year left.

                              While I knew Armstrong had another year, I felt the same way when I read that the Husker staff intend to redshirt Patrick O'Brien. No worries though, Tommie Frazier is holding the door open for Tommy Armstrong to walk through. Nebraska is undefeated in 2016, drink the red Kool-Aid before it disappears which could happen as soon as 9/17 when the Ducks land in Lincoln.

                                Bump.

                                Good game, HFN. Even though this may be a down year for the Ducks this was a very important win for Nebraska.

                                Now we should be 7-0 going into Madison on Oct 29. I think we win that game, but the dream ends in Columbus the following week.
