Big8>BIG10>>>>BIG12

I also grew up with the Big8 so I do have bias.  We all do in fact.    Orange will for years to come still have more meaning to me than the Rose... but that is completely opposite for an Iowa fan.   Neither are wrong.

The fan who values a non-national championship bowl over a national championship bowl is wrong.  Otherwise, what's the goal here?



Football exists because it's a fun game.  Competitive football exists to see which team is better and among a group of teams - which team is the best.

Then the best team is either the Patriots or the Rams, and everything else is a waste of time.

CF used to be about more than just the NC.    I know ESPN and the SEC want you to think otherwise (most years) but there is more to it historically.

yup, the MNC in the polls was the pinnacle, but a conference championship with an Orange bowl or Rose bowl win was a great season to be revered for the ages.  A top 5 or top ten finish in the polls was a great accomplishment

until the playoff

Nebraska had a number of seasons in the 70s 80s with conference titles and/or high final poll rankings that were considered disappointments because we didn't win the national championship.

This isn't to say that beating OU or winning the Orange Bowl wasn't a big deal, but lets not re-invent history to lay all of this on ESPN. Nebraska fans have been NC-obsessed since 1970, all on their own. We weren't alone.

Hah, I don't, but Utee might blame you and your buddy Entropy

It was really Wingnut, Cranky and Wizard's fault

I'm sure rabid rattlesnake boy was never unreasonable, unless pressed by Ohio St and Michigan fans

Meh...Texas fans always blame somebody else.

I always liked that old sigline of yours, under your pic of Solich after the 1998 season. Lol
