Don’t Mess with Texas? Nebraska Will Take its Chances

Nice video.  After everything I’ve seen, this Michigan fan will be wearing red on October 16.  I hope you take it to ‘em.  GBR.

I love it. Kind of makes you want to strap the pads on.

Nothing New… Since when hasn’t Nebraska disliked Texas… Fundamental differences in personality, philosophy, and demeanor…

We are not “Messin’ With Texas.”  We are just tired of Texas Messin’ with us!!!

On Mighty Men… Let’s Triumph Again!

Wasn’t that video shot before last years Iowa State game?

Oh, that’s right. You guys are ‘god’ like now.

My bad!

Having to come up with “marketing” gimicks to get up for a game with Texas? Really…?

It’s definitely the “new Nebraska” because the “old Nebraska” had a different mentality, fo sho!

The “new” Nebraska loses a game and it was that they got ‘robbed’ like Johnny Rodgers just left your gas station (yea, that’s right kids), kinda robbed.

Osborne’s ‘old Nebraska’ just took a loss like a man. No bitchin’ or nuthin’! Very easy to respect that.

Absolutely cannot wait for the gimmick video for the Western Kentucky game!

Don’t worry, Darren. Johnny the jet was not the first felon to win the Heisman trophy.

Or…maybe he was.

Anyway, my point is that he is not the only Heisman felon.

sounds like OU7times has to resort to cheapshots because he doesn’t have anything worth while to say. Well OU, I really am going to miss being in the same conference as you. Its too bad you chose to be just another one of Texas’ bi*ches. I can’t believe you didn’t try to go to the SEC with A&M. I guess you’re content with forever being the Rosco P Coltrane to Boss Hog until the Little10, or is it Big1+9 dissolves. Hey, if you’re lucky, Texas might let you have a couple hours of airtime on their new TV network, but only if you can finally catch them Duke boys.

I immediately dialed up some “war” and “battle” music, but the choices turned out to be weird smack talking mediocre metal, for video games. “Iron Maiden lite.”

So, I went back to ol’ reliable “Wehrmacht marching music.” Elegent, yet so menacing and sinister.

Well, Team Deloss Dodds was a must win, anyway. It’ll be up to the team (Pelini), with how they want to view the situation. Extra time before the housecats, then a couple days extra before Team Deloss. By then, it should be clear with how good Nebraska is. Defensively, anyway. Washington has the best QB they’ll face, the housecats have maybe the best back, with both being away games.

Look good in those, then cold revenge should be in the works.

If speed helps, NFL scout types seem like Nebraska’s at the main speed positions. Best WR and overall Senior player at corner?

Exciting times! It’s gonna be a “throwdown.”

OU7, who are you going to pull for in that game?  Texas?  I’ve been a Nebraska fan since conception and I’ve never rooted for the horns in any game I’ve seen them play.  I think they ripped OU off a few years ago with extremely bad penalties that made it impossible to look the wrong way at Colt McCoy without getting a 15 yard personal fout for it.  OU intercepted a Texas pass in the endzone and that was the game, but the refs blew the call and Texas ends up with another “W” because of officials and not because of what happened on the field.

Wow just wow…be very carefull what you pray for because you just might get it..but wait this is Nebraska and Texas is no Iowa State…oops Got to love the Meatachin who also hates Texas…yep and win was the last time Meatachin won again Texas? Maybe you should pray that Texas has all the injuries like OU did and you can win 9 to 7…now that is a real ass kickin isn’t it? Here is betting you can not score more than 10 against Texas…and your playing at home…LOL> You suck in the Big 12 North but by god your back…LOL..You did beat Arizona…and so did everyone else..LOL…your not close to being a great program again. You guys used to play football and now all you do is talk football. Everyone is so scared…please don’t make Texas play you at home this October…when you lose AGAIN who you going to call out next…Northwestern? LOL…joke of a program

Hey Texas, don’t go away mad, just go away. Too bad they (tx) didn’t just jump to independent status and let the rest of the Big 12 thrive with it’s own TV network and the subsequent equity and respect that a real conference needs to survive.

The “Texas and the 9 Dwarfs” conference won’t last as the league becomes irrelevant to anyone outside of Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma. And with no championship game and no headlines during other conference’s championship playoff weeks, it won’t take long before Tx’s arrogance and ego blows the whole thing up.

HuskerMax figured it out. This thing is a World-Herald creation. Kind of blows up the premise of this column.

Come on guys…OU7Times was a hoot.  Lighten up and enjoy the moment.  Texas will be a great game and I think we can win it providing we can field an offense. 

Reminds me of the 70’s when the tee shirts had the throw down slogans to beat OU or who ever.

Do Husker fans really need a push or suggestion to “Red Out”. LOL

OU fans just keep licken those tasty TEXASS boots! You had chance to step up to SEC but didn’t like the talent you’d have to play. So you stay close to your master and keep your wagon hitched to the Whorns until they dump you…. they will. First better deal that comes along you’re toast.

I’m hoping you get lucky and beat the Whorns this year. Been awhile hasn’t it? After last season I have some doubts about OU now. Anyway beat the Whorns so we can give you a beat down in the B12 championship…  Be a fitting way to say bye-bye to Texass and the 9 dwarfs! 

BOZ… not big on spelling or grammer down there or are you just entering the 4th grade?

Stoops is a joke of a coach.  He won the championship in 2000 with Blake’s players, and since then hasn’t won squat!  He’s been humiliated in several BCS games including losing to USC in a blowout!  Heck, the way K-State manhandled OU in the Big 12 Championship game, OU shouldn’t have been playing for a title anyway!  OU is on the way down.  Their program will always be second fiddle to ut.  But that’s the way it goes when your mascot is being pulled behind a steer (err…longwhorn)!  That steer keeps on dropping its crap on you, and you keep pickin’ it up!  Good luck in the future, OU. I know NU won’t be playing you in the final Big 12 Championship game, because YOU SUCK!  Yeah…get used to it too…YOU SUCK!

I think it’s a fun video to put out there… on Oct 8th.  Not now.  UT is #6 on the schedule.  I’m not even thinking about that yet.

I’ve taken the UT game personally every year we’ve played.  So many close games.  Games we had in the bag and then blew.  A little redemption would be nice.  Wait…  I’m not thinking about that yet.  Quit sucking me in!

Yea,  6 conference crowns (tops in the Big 12, BTW). Coach Stoops beat NU for the crown along the way. Last years team won 8 games after being decimated by injuries. All the while Nebraska watched from their TV.

Yea, I’d say Stoops is going down…down to the bank.

You really should get permission from your mommy before you spew your hose fed Kool Aid on a rant that you obviously did not do any research on.

Idiot, are you still whining?

On behalf of all Texans, thanks for the flattery. It reminds me of the Aggies who (in 1920) decided to call out Texas in their official school fight song. Percent of games won by the Aggies all-time in the series? 31%...

OU is nothing but a big tick on Bevos big hiney. When there was talk of where OU would go with conference realignment , alls OU could say is ” we go where the Horns go “. Meet Daryl my brother , and Okie Daryl , my other brother. Oklahoma is just another county in Texas.

Husker fans are all-in emotionally on every game that Nebraska plays.  I’ve had this date circled since December 6th - I’m already jacked up and don’t need a video to get me there.  I think you are dramatically overstating the impact on the psyche of Husker fans a loss might bring…every loss is devastating to those who bleed red.  But we are resilient and will get up off the canvas should it happen.  But, it won’t - this game is ours.  Everyone knows it.

I like the concept, but it should be for the season - not for a game or opponent.  Nebraska is bigger than this. Every game is important if you’re playing for national championships.

Stoops-a-joke???

As a huge Husker fan, the comments proceeding this statement are just plain crazy talk.  Sure, Stoops hasn’t been able to get OU a National Title the past 9 seasons, but they are in the hunt every year.  I don’t think their is one Husker fan that would trade the BC debacle and serious decline over that time for similar results as OU.  Sure OU fell off the map through the 90s along with USC, Texas, LSU, etc, and no one remembers that these days, and wants to say NU will never be a prominent figure in CFB again.  History repeats itself, Huskers will rise again, but calling out Stoops and what he’s done is just plain crazy b/c that’s where NU is hopefully heading.  (We’d take a few more wins in those BCS and National Champ games though)

Eh… video is so so.

Wow, an OU fan talking trash about Johnny Rodgers robbing a gas station? Thats nothing compared to OU players under Switzer shooting automatic weapons off the dorm room balconies, raping women in the dorms and selling coke to under cover police officers! Retard

“Rodgers was convicted of a gas station robbery while he was a student at the University of Nebraska in 1971. He is the only Heisman to be convicted of a Felony before receiving said award”.

NICE! And allowed to play?? That is rich!

I always thought Devaney had more sense than that.

I love how an NU fan, with “Law” in their ‘name’ says that armed robbery

is “nothing”. Just drink your red Kool Aid and be quiet.

Nice quote. I think we know who the retard really is.

Just sayin’...

I’ll be there October 16, my second home game in 28 years.  Caution to Huskers: Mac Brown had a meeting with Coach Peterson of Boise State recently—Peterson is famous for running 3-4 or even more trick plays during the course of a game, and doing it successfully.  I would bet money that Mac Brown is expecting to need a rooskie play or two from Coach Peterson’s playbook to overcome Husker fire this October.  Watch for that.

the only reasons husker fans hate texas is because they cannot beat texas and texas is what nebraska use to be and even if the huskers beat texas (and thats a big if) this year what is their record going to be against texas 2-10 in the last 15 or so years

I would love nothing more than to be able to play Texas this year AND OU in the Big 12 championship… walk out of the conference as the Big12 champ with a middle finger in the air.

Darren,

I understand your point on the the “R’ word.

I will sum up my comments here cause I got a “shark to jump”.

First, I have apologized for behavior in the past. And I meant it at the time. Not so much anymore, though. Somewhere it became okay for admitted NU fans to degrade me personally and my family. Not just once but several times. I never once saw any BRN step in and call anyone down. All the while clinging to the “classiest fans” moniker that you have made up for yourself. Kind of like patting yourself on the back.

My philosophy has since changed. I am just behaving like you allow others to behave. You have commenting guidelines that often times are ignored. The fact that my team is OU has nothing to do, or shouldn’t, with consistency when it comes to commenting. I tried to like NU but have little respect now.

It’s best that NU has gone to another league. You have become a fan base (not all fans) of whiners and want to be bullies. Just accept that things are cyclic and it is now Texas’ time to shine just as NU had their time. A little humility would go a long way for your cause.

I feel that this has a lot to do with why the Big 12 didn’t beg you to stay. Play nice and get along in your new conference because you will be dealing with fan bases that will have a lot less tolerence for your whining.

Ugh… I do not condone this at all, and I would hope the majority of Husker fans don’t, either. It’s embarrassing. Since when did we come down with such a raging “little brother” syndrome, a la Colorado, Missouri and Texas Tech? I’m as sore as anyone that Texas keeps getting away by the skin of their teeth, but this is just sad.

Come on folks, the players don’t need to deal with this kind of pressure. Let’s just let them do the talking on the field. Jeez.

Wow! This ou7 guy has to go clear back to the early 70’s to try to slam the Huskers character? I’m sure if I took the time to dig up headlines I can find a lot more convicts on OU’s more recent teams. And who was podunk Boise State til them embarassed OU? OU made Boise State! And Boz…Huskers suck in the North? Is that what it’s called when you are the Champions now? And if NU sucks, what does that say for OU? Injuries? NU was down to their 4th and 5th I backs at 1 point.

After we bury TexAss under Memorial stadium, the series will be 8-5. then we could see them for the conference champ. & be 8-6. I will be satisfied with that for now. Cheaters never prosper, 5 NC keeps me warm at night. GBR

To be honest, OU7times, you are just annoying.

You have been talking crap around here for so long, and now you are going to play victim.

Grow up and stop whining.

Welcome to the Internet.

nebraska record against texas since the b12 was formed i believe is 1-8

There is one thing that is absolutely true and that the Huskers are back! Whatever conference the Huskers are in they will be a dominant force with the coaches and talent that is coming in. What makes Texas so pissed off is that the vast majority of their players have to come from their own state. They just can’t understand how Nebraska can get all those quality players from all over America and have all the success they have had for most of the past 55 years. It is simple Texas fans, the Huskers are America’s Team.

darren i got a question for you the title of the story is dont mess with texas? nebraska will take its chances how can you take your chances messing with a team that owns you thats not taking a chance thats getting spanked and sent home with a BIG RED butt

Darren:  Oh my.  I didn’t bother watching the ‘power towel’ video until I read your comments.  That’s one of cheesiest things I’ve seen.  Hilarious!

I was refering to the all time series, I mean, the Big XII won’t be around much longer anyway.

My birthday is 10/16/10, I played baseball for Nebraska, I earned three degrees from UNL - yeah, it’s personal to me.  As the Huskers exit the Big 12, what could be a better Swan Song then to beat Texas - twice!  Assuming they can win the South.  I want that one second back with interest.

Go Big Red!

We Longhorns are looking forward to giving you a good ol Texas ass whipping, and then don’t let the door hit you on the way out of the Big 12.

Hey OU7 and Boz,

Just to refresh your memories on the Johnny Rodger hit—-remember the “gansta” dorm with drugs, guns, and rock/roll in the ‘90’s

Didn’t it take the Feds to clean that mess up and that’s what led to your great records throughout that decade when we just killed your ass.

That’s way you ended the rivalry—your just plain chicken sh—.

So Boz just go to your trailer and do some meth and OU7 take our your false front teeth out so you can suck on texas’ behind a little better.

Callahan was right on 1 thing——- that was OU is nothing but a bunch of F——-g Hillbillies—go get drunk on some that 3.2 beer they let you drink down there.

Man it is going to be great to be playing in a Class Football conference after this year.

See you in the Rose Bowl—Go Big Red!!!

Attention Trolls,

If you are a fan of some team other than Nebraska and especially a rival and are talking trash; please don’t expect a warm greeting from anyone on this board. Also, don’t complain about it… that’s just stupid.

John Mahaffy, my birthday is 10/16/10, too, and I earned two degrees from UNL, (but did not participate in athletics there).

I know what I’m getting for my sweet 36th: Bevo burger served up on a platter.

I’m not sold on this video calling out one opponent (as someone mentioned should be for the season), but hell, I watched it and enjoyed it.

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!  My daughter and I will be there, and of course rockin’ the joint dressed in red from head to toe.

Guys, guys, guys…don’t jump into the gutter so quickly with OU7times.  Live up to the well earned reputation of Husker fans and take the high road. Oklahoma has been one of the few programs that both remained (usually) relevant and yet didn’t feel the need to act like a thug. They normally just respectfully kick ass on the field, just like Nebraska. Stan has it perfectly right. Good program, good coaches, good tradition, an opponent that deserves our respect, not name calling. 

I gotta get me a power towel.  I will be in the house 10-6 and want the Red to kick butt because good friends of mine from Texas have been ragging me (fairly) because of our record recently against Texas.  I want the Red to go out with a bang.  I did not need a video to get me ready for this game. It does remind me of CU tactics.  We are THE RED and don’t need that.

As a life long husker fan I really dont enjoy calling out one opponent and making the game personal.  No one wants to beat Texas more than me but making Texas bigger than they are isnt right.  UT has won exactly 1 national championship in the last 40 years, they arent anybody so why make them bigger then they are?  They are BYU, Colorado and Washington.  Schools that all have a ring but nobody remembers. 

After reading all these comments i just had to say something.

1. To all Nebraska fans why are you even bothering talking smack with texas and ou fans? We know history better then any other college football fans and yes they can bring up some bad moments in Nebraska history, but when they do just shut up some of you are making us look like CU or Mizzou fans and i as a life time husker fan don’t appreciate it.

2. OU fans where were you in the 90s? I have a lot of respect for your program and know a majority of OU fans may not like Nebraska but they respect us. Your making your fan base look like idiots.

3. Texas fans, you should really be thanking Nebraska. WE BUILT YOU! if it wasn’t for the Big8 taking pitty on you, you would be NOTHING. Show a little respect please and how many titles do you have since 1970? yeah check it texas fans SCOREBOARD! yeah you may of beaten us but does it matter i’ll let texas beat us every year if it means we still get a national title.

4. We lost track of what we should be talking about, the video. I for one love the video it gets me pumped! i think a lot of you are asking why we need the video, well we don’t but its fun to watch. Do we really need any videos? 10/16/10 is 2 days before my birthday i’m not sure i’ll be at the game but i know 2 things i’ll be wearing red, and win or lose husker fans will give texas a standing ovation when they walk off the field.

Personally, I like the video idea because I do think it’s good marketing, especially in July. However, I do hope that Bo will be able to do what he has customarily done the past two seasons pretty well, and that is keep the team focused week in and week out on the task at hand. To JoshFromNebraska…..my B-day is 10-18 as well so, I hope we both get the B-day present we are hoping for, VICTORY!! GBR!!!!

I changed fathers day this year on june 20th and moved it to Oct. 16th and will celebrate it in October every fall for the rest of my life(rotating Saturdays based on who the Huskers are playing). This game is my first motivation to do it. Go Bid Red!!!!

Yes calling out Texas is out of character, but losing that one game, even if it’s a RED letter game does not mean it’s the end of the season or a momentum killer. One thing about Bo Polini teams, they’ve never quit on him.

If Texas wins that game the ones making a big deal of it will be Texas fans and sports jouralists.

I like the promo, the Beat Texas is such a small part of the promo and right at the end that I wouldn’t have noticed it if I haddent read this article first.

Wow OU7 put it all in perspective. Great post, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

  Texas fans did you not watch the game last year? Our defense tore you a new A hole. You needed an extra bogus second to win….remember that. Its not complaining, its legit.

  OU fan. We beat you last year, SO what about injuries. Our QB had a torn tendon in his throwing arm, we were down to our 4th string RB, our offensive line was banged up and we still won (dominated if we would have ANY offense last year) Not saying, just facts if your any football fan will realize.

Thanks for playing. bye

one more thing….liked the video but I dont see how giving Texass billboard material does any good. I guess by us leaving a dissolving conference for one rich in tradition is enough to give anyone billboard material.

GBR!

Me likee footbal.

Me pley footbal.

Me kant wait foor footbal seeson bgin!

Go bigg red!

Please remember that OU7times doesn’t represent the opinion of the entire Sooner nation, and that it wasn’t Sooner FANS who discontinued our rivalry. I know quite a few OU fans, and get along well with all of them. Those of us who remember our history and traditions still cherish them.

That we (Big Eight) gave up every trace of conference history, tradition and rivalry just to accomodate the wishes of the failed SouthWest Conference still boggles my mind. OU, CU and Nebraska all carried a history of national championships and Heisman Trophy winners. We agreed to stop mentioning that history. We agreed to forego our rivalries. We threw in with Texas, bowed to the almighty dollar, and got what we deserved.

Let’s conduct ourselves with decency and class, remain true to our beliefs in sportsmanship, and enjoy our last year in the Big XII, before heading off to a far better future in the Big Ten.

Yeah, the video is what we should be talking about.  And I am conflicted. 

I love the attitude and coolness factor. 

But it is contrary to Bo’s stated objective of “one game at a time, and every game is one that needs winning”, which is consistent with a more understated “leave it on the field” Nebraska style.

Where is this video anyway?

finpong, the link to the video is at the top of the article where the words “this happened” are highlighted in red…....enjoy.

let’s face it. we don’t have the offense to beat Texas. who are we kidding

This is nice piece of marketing, but seriously it is kind of minor league to have to call out one team. I guess since they have owned us since 1996 we might as well. 

bigreddouche,

Your mom called, she says to quit frauding. BTW I want my briefs back from under her bed.

PS…Tell your dad that I’m sorry about the bed sheets. I hope they weren’t expensive.

                      -Not Bevo

The Corn heirarchy has been at odds with Texas since Big 12 was formed and UNLIMITED PARTIAL QUALIFIERS ended for Corn, Swooners, Buffies etc - TomOz built early 90s teams with thugs from jail cells in New jersey, El-Lay, Chicago etc…..........WHY DO YOU THINK Tom stepped down as coach? Simple - he could no longer empty reform schools with semi-pro goons to field a team, and would learn some humility lessons, and he knew it.

Same for McCartney at Colorado, and the Swizzler at OU had already been outed for his excessess….....The old Big 8 reform schools could not compete on a level playing field for long, and is why Big12 North became as sad as they did.

Swooners , thanks to Big Red Auto etc, were able to maintain a decent squad a bit longer, but you saw how thin talent was last year with a few injuries.

Wave your red towels, get out voodoo dolls, whatever makes you feel good…......Texas will spank you Oct 16, because they have superior talent

HokaHey yokel,

Back then, the same rules did apply to everybody. All allowed by the ncaa. The thing is, Nebraska got its kids to actually attend class and graduate its prop 48s at a good rate, relative to everybody else. They happened to have (and still do) top shelf academic support, for their athletes.

Y’know, I don’t remember Tejas, back then, so I won’t bother looking ‘em up. Something about obscurity and irrelevance. At the moment, they’re an 11 win machine, that can’t seem to close the deal. Maybe a lack of passion, fire in the belly, with that squad. A little too satisfied.

Boil in your frustration, along with that okie.

The Bug Eaters are Texas beeotch and always will be.  Don’t let the door hit you in the butt!

longhorn90 (in nighties)

Actually, that’s not the case, since Nebraska isn’t beholden to Texazz, like Okie, aTm, Kansas State and such. Not that you can think it through ligically, but, that’s the point.

In this context, Texas is more like a sow, nursing her swine, as forced upon by the Texas legislature.

That’ll be my enduring memory of the Big 12.

most conferences “back then” established limits on “partial qualifiers”...........since the Bug Eaters, Swooners, and your stepchildren could not compete in your stunningly attractive geographies (  Norman, Linkin, Little Apple, Stoolwater, etc )...........you opened the floodgate to the bigcity thugs for decades ........your 90s championships were a total JOKE

Ozburn knew his jig was up, with Big 12 limits…....and you enjoyed many 70+ points beatdowns

Dont worry….........UT team is seething that they took lightly a team with 4 losses including a miserable Cyclone defeat - they will be MORE than motivated Oct 16, and way more talented on both sides of the ball

Oz jumped at the chance to get out, knowing you Bug Eaters would never be anything but entertainment for superior teams, recruiting on a LEVEL playing field, with LIMITS on the reform school thugs in your uniform

What a miserable legacy…..........damn near as embarassing as Swooners

hokahey yokel,

Osborne knew his heart problems were acting up again. AT 62, he realized before the ‘97 season, that is was time to take a break. He notified Solich of this and got the AD to buy into Solich’s promotion.

Two titles in three years, three major bowl wins in a row. Then to be rewarded with the ‘97 season and another Crystal Ball. Btw, Nebraska has 3 of those, you can see a photo at huskers.com.

http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=230&SPID=22&DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=606981

Talent wise, his recruiting was actually peaking, when he retired. Crouch and Bobby Newcombe, long time NFL player Buckhalter, in the same class. Fantastic defenders, too.

Also, Nebraska’ current recruiting is doing quite well, thanks. That and the amazing walkon phenomenon http://www.scout.com/2/982910.html and its emotional intangible, put Nebrask back into elite talent status, going forward.

I won’t bother with the rest of your spew, since I don’t let trolls dictate the course of discussion.

The number one reason for the downfall of Bug Eater football was the Big 12 forming and the academic requirements.  Plain and simple they couldn’t recruit outta Compton anymore. 

longhorn90,

Actually, I quick counted 8 players from the Southern Cal area, several more from the rest of the Cali.

Aged Coaches and that ensuing drop off, was the biggest factor.

Osborne didn’t need to be dictated too, when Nebraska’s recruiting fell withing ncaa requirements.

Texas was fortunate, it had a chance to escape its swc mediocrity. To do less with more, must be an amazing feeling!

They may still recruit from California but they aren’t able to pick up the same kids they did before the Big 12.  The skill player positions have suffered since.  I respect the program, been to games in Lincoln and lived in Omaha for a little while.  I just haven’t seen the same level of talent they had in the early-mid 90’s especially in the skill positions. 

longhorn90,

Fair enough.

Longhorn90, the reason for the slide in the program was TO’s retirement. Solich won with TO’s players for a few years and then his lack of recruiting started to show up. Ironically, the rise of TX was due in part to the Big 8 inviting the Horns and the other Texas schools from the old SWC. More exposure, better TV deals, etc., etc. And the fact that Mack Brown is an awesome recruiter and coach. But when you are Texas, there’s no excuse to ever be lousy when you have 450 kids a year that are scholarship material. The Horns stunk for many years before the late 90’s. Conversely, the state of Nebraska produces 4 or 5 scholarship worthy recruits every year and that’s it. What Nebraska did over a 34 year stretch will never be duplicated, probably not even by Nebraska and definitely not the Horns. By the way, the majority of TO’s recruiting classes were not even considered worthy of top 10 consideration. He didn’t pay attention to so-called rankings and stars. He took kids who he knew he could develop. He will always get a bad rap for a few incidents off the field but if you bothered reading his books, you might learn something about the man other than what you hear on the oh so trustworthy national media. But then that would require you to be somthing that your previous post show you are not, objective.

Look I am old school.  The video is cool but I wouldn’t have done it.  All it does is stroke the ego of those people down south who have more ego than brains.  We are Nebraska and with our history we don’t take a back seat to anyone.  The Texas fans need to check out our trophy case.  We should act like we’ve been there before (and frankly we are quickly getting back there).  Beating them in October shouldn’t be looked at as a surprise, it should be expected.  We don’t need to beat Texas to put our program “on the map”

Hey Matt, every dog has it’s day, even you.

Matt,

Nice compilation of tunes in that video.

A home game no less.

Sweet!

OU7times, what compilation of tunes do you think he will put together for our victory over his team, OU in the Big XII Title game, and then the National Championship game? Shock the World! GBR!!!!!

Nebraska = Big 12 quitters.  You couldn’t win consistently in the Big 12 so your taking your ball, going home, and moving.

WWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

If Texas comes in an beats you at home, then NU might as well just quit altogether.

Right horn1…....you just keep telling yourself that nonsense. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that Nebraska slipped one by Texas in the middle of the night as they tried to strong arm them along with the rest of the conference. And they know that the TexAss conference has a shelf life of about 2-4 years max and then it’s all over. Now the bully cries because he got made to look like a fool in front of the whole country. The media outside of the Big XII coverage applauds the genius of the Nebraska athletic department for this move. The only crying is coming out of TexAss and the rest of the Big 12. And don’t worry, Nebraska will stomp you October 16th, take it to the bank!

Wade…Yeah, RRRRIIIIIGGGHHHTTTTTTTTT.

You better pray NU beats Texas on Oct 16th.

If so, then you get to yell nah nah na-boo boo on your way out the door knowing that you had the last laugh (albeit a 2-8 record vs. Texas)

If not, then NU is the beat dog that leaves town with it’s tail tucked between it’s legs.

WOW…is this College Football or High School Football, nebraska? Seriously? A video showing your burning desire to be a Team that is 6th on your schedule? Sounds like an Aggy thing to do. nebraska is nothing more than a shell of its past self. Nebraska does not have the Offense to beat Texas and it will show on Oct 16th. Muschamp and his Defense will tear Corn a new hole and shut that gum-chewing, slack-jawed, caveman coach of yours, up! F tom osborne F the children of the Corn!

LOL Horny, we don’t need to beat TexAss but we will. 1-9 or 2-8, it does not have much of a different ring to it. I’ll agree with you that recently NU has only been a shell of its past self, thanks to Bill Callahan. TexAss barely beat some of out worst teams of the last 35 years during that stretch. But even a guy wearing burnt orange glasses has to realize that Bo Pelini is a damn good coach and has brought Nebraska back from the dead of just two seasons ago. You just don’t like it. F Tom Osborne? LOL. Thanks for proving the basis of my post…....Jack A$$

Question: What could be better than T.O. at a game?

Answer: 8 TO’s in one game (Iowa State ‘09).

Yuk yuk.

Question: What could cures a loss to a team you should not lose to such as an Iowa State? A victory over Oklahoma 10-3 (2009). Quit while you are behind…....and still a behind OU7times

By the way OU7times, OU will beat Texas this year as they are going to be the better team. Then you can get ready for your second straight loss to the Huskers in the title game, as we will be the better team. It’s going to be a tough pill for you to swallow after all the trash talking you have done in here. Hope you like crow, you will be eating plenty of it.

Wade,

IF our teams meet, would you be willing to put your hard earned money on Nebraska winning?

oulosertimes

I’ll bet as much money as your mommy gives you for your allowance.

Just as I guessed…no money, huh?

I totally understand.

Let me guess…you’re saving for the annual “Jerry Screwed Us” telethon to raise money for Nebraska’s coaching staff.

You are damn right I would, absolutely!

Gee, I guess since you did not reply right away that means you are not interested OU7times? Whatever dude, I’m going to have a bet on that game with or without you.

By the way, who the Hell is Jerry? Surely you are not talking about Jerry Lewis? If so, shame on you!

Folks, I am a Texas fan and grad (actually graduated on the day we won the 1st Big 12 Title) but I must say that I am not happy that we are parting ways.  I don’t care what my fellow Longhorn fans say, I truly think y’all are a class program and a true blue-blood of college football and your loss to the Big 12 is brutal.  I can only think of how happy the Big 10 is now that those universities will be able to call you brother.

We all are suffering from the same thing that relationships go through when there is a break-up… “Don’t let the door hit you” or “You really were never that hot anyways” and I guess the entire, “You weren’t anything until I met you (Human League anyone?  -‘I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar…’)”  but one of these days our respective fanbases will realize that we will miss each other.  I can only think the same will happen with your longstanding relationships with the other Big 12 schools, especially your traditional ex-Big 8 foes such as Kansas and Colorado.  Honestly, as a Texas fan, I think it is pretty shocking how we haven’t heard much about y’all parting ways; it is all about NU and Texas, and to a slightly lesser degree OU, are losing our rivalry.  I think that is pretty weird and indicative of Husker fans’ frame of mind.

As far as this video is concerned, color me shocked again.  I really didn’t know it was this bad for y’all.  From what the old timers remind me, it seems very similar to what happened to Arkansas back in the Old SWC days; They’d lose their minds and make their season about beating Texas and they would just jump their minds right out of the stadium.  This game is very much setting up to be a carbon copy of this phenomena (especially given it is after Texas/ OU) and I can’t help but think the moment something goes wrong for The Blackshirts, they may get too psyched out.  I guess it is complimentary towards the Longhorns that this much attention is being paid to us, but it isn’t much like the Nebraska I remember crapping my pants about having to play back in 1996.  I do know now that I am looking forward to 10/16/10 more than I was before, so I guess the video has hyped up both sides (and even Sooner fans… for some weird reason).

Either way, thanks to those of you who have continued to keep Nebraska as a classy fanbase and I bid you good luck and farewell in the future.  Go Big Red and Hook Em’!

RE: NU better win now, because of this video ...

I see this video no different than an athlete guaranteeing a win before a big game in recent years. Years past, doing something like that actually meant something and it was hard to live down. These days, how often is a win guaranteed, never met, and then forgotten about?

Oh sure, NU and UT fans will always bring this video up in the future. But with the two teams meeting in the Rose Bowl only for the next 50 years, there will rarely be the chance to discuss it. This video will be a blip on the long history of the two teams. The benefits it serves now of lathering up the fanbase far outweighs any long term or future negatives.

It seems both Texas and OU fans on here say Nebraska has no talent…...How bad does that make your team when the Huskers come in and beat OU and almost beat Texas (and dominate that game in every way but on the scoreboard)? How does it make you look when your teams get beat or almost get beat by a team you say has no talent? Think about that!

Uh, that would be Jerry Jones (house of one magical second fame), genius.

Come up with an amount that we can bet and if I lose i’ll meet you in person at a point halfway.

“RedOutAroundtheWorld.com is an athletic department website produced in partnership with the Omaha World-Herald and UNL Communications. I think it is important to note that it is not a ‘Beat Texas’ site but rather a website that will be used to celebrate, thank and connect Husker fans across the world. In doing this we do hope to create some energy to help our team beat Texas but that certainly is not the sole focus. This will become much clearer when the full site goes live on August 7th.”

—Huskers assistant athletic director Michael Stephens

Uh, it may as well have been a reference to Jerry Lewis because I have never heard one person say anything about Jerry Jones having anything to do with what happened, genius, which makes it a totally stupid comment anyway. I usually put anywhere from $100 to $300 on Nebraska games so somewhere in that range. Of course, we don’t yet know that they will be playing so I guess if they do, we’ll just have to remember to come back to a msg board on this site. That should not be a problem since you seem to have nothing better to do than to troll Nebraska msg boards and talk crap.

Michael, thanks for the clarification but perception is reality and the perception is, it’s all about beating Texas. I could care less one way or the other because I don’t believe BP will have any trouble keeping his team focused week in and week out. He’s been good at that during his two years and there’s no reason it should not continue.

Oooops, I accidentally typed in your screen name in the above post Michael…...sorry.

Sis,

what, now you act like you don’t get screwed by Texas and everything Texas related, to include Mr. Texas whose building it happened in?

Cut coupons and collect cans just in case we meet. I don’t take credit cards, government cheese or food stamps either.

OU7times, what the Hell are you talking about man? I have never said anything like that. Yeah, we got screwed but it was by the officials and that’s all I have ever said. As for the rest of your 6th grade post, I make a six figure income running title and buying leases for oil and gas companies, presently in Pennsylvania. Not that it’s any of your business. You really are just a complete A$$hole aren’t you. No wonder you said in a previous post that you had been attacked personally on these msg boards. You provoke people into it. From what I have seen just between the two of us you deserved every bit of whatever it was you got. Grow up! You are just an antagonistic little punk who would never show up in person even if we did make a bet, you could not hide behind your anonymous name that way.

OU7times,

  I am waiting for OU7times to make one bit of sense or legit comment in ANY Husker message boards. I am also waiting for OU7times girlfriend to put her clothes back on and get her a$$ out of my house.

what a clown OU7times

Six figures?

Wow!

BTW, nice backpedal job by Nebraska PR on the video not being just about Texas.

Would love to see NU dress in all red for the game. It worked so well against OU in 1987.

If Texas is smart, and they are, they will demand that a crew shovel Nebraska’s side line for Bo’s nose hair after each quarter. Can’t have these young kids slipping and having career ending injuries because of Bo’s nose cable laying around.

Spelunkers dream.

Too much fun messin’ with you guys.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa, oh golly, I can’t stop laughing, really, you really should have been a comedian. I mean, Bo’s nose hair, that’s a good one, so creative. It really addresses my last post so well. Well, I’m done for now. Unless someone else wants to play with you, you can just regurgitate on your own vomit. Have fun. See you after we whip your AAAAArrrrrrrse!

OU7, what, is that a wannabe nickname for 007… If you want to talk about felons from our respective teams, lets not EVEN get started on “The Boz” and his relationship with Barry Switzer. 

The point is, Nebraska is making a statement about Texas.  Texas has affectively ruined every conference its ever been a part of and Nebraska is saying “enough.” 

Texas tore apart the Big XII this year (and don’t get me wrong, Texas had every intention of getting Nebraska out so it could stay in and “own” the Big XII, even at the expense of weakening the conference.  Texas never considered leaving, simply wanting only to knock out the only opposition (NU) Texas had ever faced).  Texas ruined the Southwest conference.  And when they’re done, the Burnt Orange will trash the Big XII for its next conquest.

So what NU is saying is, “You convinced us to leave the conference we built… but dammit, we’re not leaving until we teach the spoiled playground bully what it feels like to be punched in the nose.”

P.S. OU7… how’d you enjoy your ass-kicking in Memorial stadium last year… I bet it felt pretty nice to not touch the endzone… I was on the sideline for the entire game… looks like NU is back and OU is just hoping to follow TX to wherever the pasture looks greenest… way to fall to a second rated power in the conference you helped NU build.

And I almost forget to address Texas fans:

For all of you who think Nebraska in the 90’s was a joke… I want to remind you that ESPN… the “World Leader in Sports,” still considers the ‘95 Cornhuskers the best team to ever play the game of College football.

Furthermore, Nebraska’s ‘95 football team generally tops ESPN’s New Year’s list of “Most Exciting College Teams,” for all sports.  For a general reference, Texas has never made the top 25 on either of these lists. 

To refresh your memory, the closest NU came to a loss in ‘95 was a 14 point victory over Washington State.  Second closest loss was a 23 point victory over #7 ranked Colorado.  And of course let’s not forget the 62-24 spanking of #2 Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. 

When either Oklahoma or Texas accomplishes this feat, call me… I’ll buy y’all drinks.

The Oklahoma Sooners (Football) have the most wins since WWII.

Oklahoma Football is tied for second place (with Texas)in wins behind Boise State for the decade of the 2000’s, with 110. That’s an .821 winning pct. Include a National Championship in the first year of the new decade and was in Norman when #1 Nebraska was spanked by Heupel and the boys 31-14. It was awesome! Should of been there.

Dude, we could do this all day.

I’ll have a rum and coke. Make it a double.

So OU7Times, how are things back at the University of Texas at Norman?

Ou7? You wanna go by each decade to prove your point? Then I guess you’d prefer to leave out your 90’s decade just as we would like to forget about the BC era.

Which reminds me, was your stadium still full during your bad years? Hmm? Not thinking so. Nebraska fans stick by their teams thru good times and bad. Never “fair weathered”. But you already know our passion for Husker football. Otherwise you know you wouldn’t be able to come on here and stir the pot with your bs. I just wish some of my Husker faithful would stop biting into your antics. And I’m sure if some of your own OU “true” faithful seen what you’re doing here, they wouldn’t be very happy with you either. At least not if they are a true college football fan. Ne and Ok have always had a mutual respect for each other.  You’re obviously just a punk kid that knows nothing of our history or your own.

OU7times,

  That nice they have the most wins in the 2000’s….a time when we experiences one of the worst coaches in our history. Dont you worry but Huskers of the 90’s were way more dominate that any 2000 OU team. Not braggin’, just fact!

Texas fan,

  You are crazy and know nothing about football if you think you can even attempt to put Texas even in the same breath as the 90’s Huskers. You had your chance in the 2000’s when we were down but we are back now baby! Whatcha gonna do about it. Ut oh Texas and Oklahoma had their chance to catch us and were not able too….and now were back!

GBR!

Yea, we were awful in the ‘90’s.

But what about the “winningest” team since WWII, which includes the ‘90’s??

“Fair weathered” is what I would call a lot of (not all) NU fans during the Callahan experiment. NU fans were leaving in droves at halftime. Jim Rose, announcer at the time for Nebraska, actually apologized to the fans, on air, for the lousy product they were receiving.

So, your statement that NU fans are “NEVER” fair weathered is not accurate at all.

I have no doubt that OU has had it’s times where fans left disgruntled. It happens, but you never heard me say that our fans are never fair weathered. That’s just opening yourself up to get called down for the facts. Just keep believeing what you want because you will. It makes you feel good inside. Just do some research before you spew and then make a decision that you can support.

Before you lecture me on respect, I want you to check out Youtube. Type ‘Oklahoma vs Nebraska 1978’. Go to the clip “The Face”. That’s respect by 2 men who knew about respect.

What you will see is a real coach and a real former coach. Not some raving lunatic on the sideline.

@BetterRed.

You need to re-read my post. I never said OU had the most wins in the 2000’s. I said we were tied for second with Texas. Boise State has the most wins of the 2000’s. I did say that Oklahoma has the most wins of any college football team since WWII.

“A chance to catch you”?? At what?

Both teams you call out (OU and UT)have winning records against Nebraska. So who’s catching who?

BTW, what does “we’re back” actually mean? It’s an awful popular phrase to use right now.

How long has it been since Nebraska won a Big 12 Conference title? Yea, Nebraska had a good season last year but someone please define what “we’re back” means and when will it translate into a Big 12 Title?

That’s when you’re back.

OU7times,

  So you have to win a conference title every year to say “were back?” In that case Oklahoma hasnt “been back” for a while. Oklahoma does have bragging rights against Nebraska in the 2000s but it is the 2010s now and we are gonna own them. GBR!

OU7,

  I dont even know why I argue with you…..we wont even play you this year and then we are leaving the black hole conference.

To all those who seem to think that Nebraska doesn’t have good/great in-state talent, i’ve put a small list of in-staters from 1 decade together. I picked the 90s because they were all TO recruits, even if Solich coached some of them.

From Nebraska:

Ahman Green

Scott Frost

Eric Crouch

Zack Weigert

Corey Schlesinger

Eric Alford

Tony Veland

Eric Anderson

Chris Dishman

Mark Gilman

Mackovica Brothers

Rob Zatechka

Terry Connealy

Damon Benning

Calvin Jones

Clester Johnson

Reggie Baul

John Parella

Other studs not from L.A., Chicago, or New Jersey on those teams, but from Nebraska border states:

Grant Wistrom

Mike Rucker

Brook Berringer

Trev Alberts

Troy Dumas

Kyle Van Den Bosh

Jay Foreman (MN but close to bordering us)

Feel free to name big names that I missed. And this is just the 90s.

It’s really not a big deal that there’s a greater total of talent in Fla, Ca, Texas, Ohio considering those states’ populations. It’s just numbers.There’s plenty of talent in Nebraska, and we only have 1.8 million people living there. Pretty dang impressive if you ask me :-)

I also think it’s impressive that Nebraska has five national titles (more than UT) and is tied for 3rd in all time wins, just behing UT and ahead of OU. And I’d bet on either Tom Rathman or Corey Schlesinger (both Nebrask born and bred) to clear aside any hole-plugging linebacker UT or OU’s ever had.

The website is going to be the best when it launches.

GBR and Husker Nation

mitch, not sure where you got your info but the top ten in all time wins after the conclusion of the 2009 season, according to wikipedia.com, is as follows:

1) Michigan———877

2) Texas————-845

3) Notre Dame——837

4) Nebraska———827

5) Ohio State——819

6) Penn State——811

7) Alabama———-799

8) Oklahoma———791

9) Tennessee——-773

10)USC—————-759

Oklahoma does have great tradition and history and so does Nebraska. Yes, Oklahoma does have the most wins since WW II, but Nebraska has the most wins since 1970. I know a lot of the history of both programs from following the Big 8 growing up. I could never say that Oklahoma does not have one of the greatest football programs in history when it comes to accomplishments. They are among the leaders in most every category including national championships.

That having been said, they are also amongst the leaders in NCAA probation. See the following:

January 11, 1956 - NCAA found University of Oklahoma football team violated improper transportation; extra benefits; improper recruiting inducements.

Result: 1 year Probation

January 11, 1960 - NCAA found University of Oklahoma football team violated improper financial aid; improper recruiting inducements; outside fund; lack of institutional control.

Result: 1 year Probation, 1 year post season ban, 1 year television ban

September 20, 1973 - NCAA found University of Oklahoma football team violated extra benefits; including improper recruiting inducements; lodging, publicity and transportation; tryouts; excessive number of official visits; excessive time for official visits; in addition to academic fraud; eligibility; unethical conduct.

Result: 2 year Probation, 2 year post season ban, 2 year television ban, one assistant football coach not allowed to recruit.

November 11, 1980 - NCAA found University of Oklahoma football team violated improper financial aid; improper recruiting contacts, entertainment and transportation.

Result: Publicly reprimand.

December 19, 1988 - NCAA found University of Oklahoma football team violated improper transportation; extra benefits; complimentary tickets; improper recruiting contacts, employment, entertainment, inducements and transportation; unethical conduct; outside fund; lack of institutional control; certification of compliance.

Result: 3 years probation; 1 year television ban; 3 years probation; Maximum of 18 initial grants for 1989-90 and 1990-91 football season. maximum of eight coaches may recruit off campus for 1989-90; OU limited to maximum of 50 official visits for 1988-89 and 1989-90;

The University of Oklahoma files annual reports regarding compliance programs; University of Oklahoma must show cause why more penalties should not be imposed if institution does not remove two assistant coaches and recruiting coordinator from recruiting and disassociate one representative.

And then the latest July 11, 2007. The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions has penalized the University of Oklahoma for major violations in its football program.

Score: OU 6 (probations) NU (0 probations)

With that in mind, I’ll take our history over OU’s any day of the week. I will miss playing OU but it has not been the same since the four Texas schools came in and ruined everything, destroying what was once one of the top rivalries in college football.

Wade, i got my info strictly from memory, and yes, i was barely off. I thought NU was tied with Notre Dame for 3rd but we’re 4th…no big deal. And NU is slightly behind UT and ahead of OU, just like i said

Though I appreciate this site, this article seems very similar to Pat Forde’s column on espn.com

(http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=5372985)

Just pointing it out.

Hey Texas, after Nebraska and Oklahoma beat your ass this year, will you still be classy fans like you claim you are, or will you pull the same kind of bullshit crap you like you did in 2004 baseball college world series when you crybabies wouldn’t stay around to receive you runner up trophy and medals. The whole nation hates the fact that you damn longhorns(err, i mean shorthorns) keep buying everything out. As far as who has the better graduation rates, Nebraska and Oklahoma were on the top 50 list while the NCAA ranked you asses on the bottom of their list. Only forty to forty five percent of your entire student body graduates. Now I heard the NCAA is thinking about barring schools from particpiating in sports tournaments with low graduation rates until those particular schools improve. Boo Hoo Texas, looks like you’ll have to miss because you idiots think going to the pros are more important than completing school and getting a degree. By the way Texas, have fun when the Coaches, AP and USA Today media polls start ranting that you’re overated.
