    Money isn't everything... Nebraska should just come home. They don't love them in the B1G.
    Professors care about sports? Is this why Nebraska lost its AAU status?

        Only if your moment includes the past two decades. It's not the "now" part that hurts. It's the "forever" that hurts. Nebraska was not always a 30 ranked team. They were once a blue blood and a top 10 team. Times change, I suppose - Tom Osborne owned the SEC.

          I feel like this is all a balancing of the cosmic scales for getting to enjoy 3 national championships between the ages of 16 and 19.

            Nebraska needs to return to its roots to do some soul searching... and came back to the Big 12.

            What is up will all those corn fans in Ireland? Do they even have runzas there?

              I made fun of a Nebraska fan last night. Don’t feel bad.

                  I turned the game on right before the failed onside kick. Another close loss. Unreal.

                  Sorry, Omaha and PBW. I can't imagine.

                            For anyone who still cares (I may be beyond feeling at this point), the ESPN linked articles describes 10 games that encapsulate the Huskers fall - the Hail Mary loss to BYU made the list.
