Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It was - The Longhorn Network,which sent the 'Skers skeedaddling

You need some history lessons.  LHN didn't exist when the Huskers bailed on their conference-mates in pursuit of the B1G money.  In fact, Nebraska was further ahead than Texas in development of its own single-school network.  Osborne readily admitted that in 2010.

UNL has always been further ahead than UT
always will be
heck, UNL jumped to the BIG years before the Horns will make the leap

You keep sassing him and he'll never move to Austin

I'd take Texas - if the conference 1st boots Rutgers/Maryland.Neither was a fit or had a history with the BIG except for The Scarlett Knights played in the 1st football game

Yeah, the Horns are the tag along in that scenario. Not the Sooners. 

I was thinking about this the other day:  isn't Oklahoma the program Texas should be?  

It's not a burn.  OU gets all of its talent from the state of Texas.  They're both obviously great all-time programs and all that.  But OU is better.  Shouldn't the school in the state supplying both of these schools all of their talent be the one that's appreciably better?

What's been in Texas' way?  Competing with up to 7 other in-state teams in-conference all those years?  What about since then?  What's been in Texas' way?  I know in the late 70s/early 80s, they were always a game (or a point) away from undefeated, NC seasons.

But why isn't Texas what OU is?
