Yup.  And few folks could hold a grudge like DeLoss.

Imagine what Texas could've become under him if his parents had named him DeWin.  

I was teaching at West Point when the Big 12 was formed, and I wasn't really paying attention to that formation. What I think I know about it is what I've picked up since retiring from the Army in 1999 and moving back to Oklahoma. I've thought that the seven other Big 8 schools--including OU--voted against Nebraska on every issue because they were tired of getting beaten every year, and that OU was happy to see the OU-NU series cut in half for the same reason. As far as the partial qualifiers, I've always understood that it was Texas who was most insistent about limiting that practice. In other words, 11 programs had a variety of motives to make life harder for Nebraska, the dominant program in college football at the time, and they acted on those motives.
The Nebraska head coach/ass't A.D. being upset would seem to be a normal reaction to that. I can't speak to the "bitter spiteful little shiteater" part. My only gripe about Dr. Tom concerned the retention of Lawrence Phillips on the team.

The shiteater's shit-talking on the way out, didn't mention OU or ISU or KSU or anyone else... despite all the 11-1 votes that went against him.  No, he only had words for Texas.

So I think you should be able to see, pretty clearly, why I would point out that he's a grudge-holding little shitstain.

And I didn't even bring up his hypocrisy and  morally bankrupt behavior with respect to assholes like Lawrence Phillips and Christian Peter, but yeah, that too.

I had sorta forgotten about the Tom Osborne/UT feud.  I did remember about the PQ's being a big deal to Nebraska.  

I think NU is in jeopardy of falling off the Blue Blood list.  Replaced by LSU and or Florida.  UTenn slipping down as well.  

Strangely, I'm more concerned with the health JT Sanders, Jake Majors, and Ryan Watts than I am with Maalik Murphy.
It's not like he's some duffer we're forced to use. He was a highly rated pocket passer a lot of teams fought over. He's been in the program for two years.

It's very likely, without the history, he'll just run the offense the way Sark wants. We've seen him throw fastballs, but I understand he can change speeds (a) when needed and (b) when the adrenaline calms down. He should throw the ball on time and on schedule without checking 3 times to make sure he's correct.

I did notice that the OL seemed to find another gear once Quinn went out. I know they were working against a tired defense, but it was gratifying to see.

just depends which Horn team shows up

we need get me the ball Danny

yup

Right.  I'm stating exactly that.

He was upset from things that happened 15 years earlier, and trash-talked Texas all the way out the door.

What part of "holding a grudge" do you folks not understand?

I don't remember much of the trash-talking. I'm not saying that it didn't happen. Maybe I wasn't paying close attention because he wasn't talking about my school. Maybe My memory is fallible.
Re the grudge, who's holding it?
