Does Nebraska matter in the B1G?

[Deep Creek]

Ok. I never had the assertion that Tech couldn't.

Yeah but if the criteria you used was getting WRs into the NFL your agnuts and rusty cows both pale in comparison to the sand aggies.

Currently:
Antoine Wesley
Danny Amendola
Keke Coutee
Jakeem Grant
Cameron Batson

And I doubt any of them were even recruited by UT or A&M. The two flagship schools in Texas can't develop WRs any better than lowly Tech. And, a lot of 'em come out of HS somewhat developed in the first place.

What, Coutee and Cantrell? Name me one WR from Tech that is better than Evans.

And my post was to show the longhorn that A&M can put WR's in the NFL.

 

[Thiefery]

Jexas gonna give up the LHN? If not then that also stops them.

I listed the schools that go so sick of Texas' shit that they left them behind.

lol..it's just you aggys.. Nebraska isn't happy anywhere..if it wasn't UT they'd blame someone else, they just want to return to the Big 8 days. You think Arkansas left because of UT? Their AD said UT encouraged them to go to the SEC.. the SWC was dying. Think Mizzu was sick of UT as well? They always wanted to be with the academic prestigious BIG.. damn President said so as they were lifting their skirts.

With all that said.. yeah LHN isn't going anywhere unless ESPN buys out Texas or they incorporate it as an SEC2/SECwest/secTX channel and pay whatever difference to UT. Channel could carry all the tier 3 games between UT,Tech,aggy,LSU,Mizzu,Ark, etc

but i was kinda going at your why would a 4/5 star go to a school with another 4/5 star that already has 4/5 star players on that roster for the same position. That's why i questioned why WRs go to aggy, that's all.

It's gonna co$t them..

I know it was...but that's like bragging about being a taller midget. So what if A&M puts a rare WR in the NFL that is better than a UT wide receiver.. Big fuckin' deal. My lowly Miners have the top running back with the Packers. Again, big fuckin' deal.

It is already costin' em....along with other things. ESPN bought a pig in poke.

Nebraska is just fine in the B1G, we just happened to have some really poor decisions with our football coach hiring decisions. Blo Peeni is being exposed for the fraud he is down at LSU he was a fraud at youngstown state too. between blo and mr rogers they destroyed our culture, that has nothing to do with the B1G.

and anyone who supports the retarded kevin warren deserves to be slapped with a whale cock. The media made it out to be "nebraska against the B1G" when it was just Nebraska coaching and admins saying we want to play football and will play anybody to make it happen it was never a "were leaving the b1g" as so many retarded talking heads tried to make it out to be.

and our conference schedule had already been brutal, another thing that was blown out of proportion by baited media questions... there is nobody on our schedule that wasnt already on it... another talking head gaffe.

nebraska is happy as can be making the money we are making now, considerably more than any b12 share.

Yeah I know the money is good, but there's a poster named mulletpelini who is a die hard NE fan.. he's posted how, it's great for the school to get some money but it sucks having to drive further away for games.. he misses the KSU,ISU, MIZZU, CO trips.. Which I can't understand because I wouldn't like those trips myself.. but for old fans like himself, it will never be the same..

But like my man @Deep Creek says.. it's all about the MONEY. Which is why I rather UT go to the SEC where I can **drive to Arkansas, LA, B/CS, Lubbock.. rather than buying a plane ticket to see them play WI, MN, NW (ehh Chicago wouldn't be bad in the fall), IN, etc.

**Once I move back to Texas, not where I'm currently living in VA**

One thing i have learned as i get older is trying to re-live nostalgia never works out the way you'd hope(it is always better left an awesome memory than a letdown of trying to re-live the past). It is better to embrace change than mourn the past. To be honest i havent gone on any road games in the B1G but id rather be @Ohio State than @Kansas/Kansas St/Iowa State/Missouri/Colorado

Nebraska is in a great position, Frost understands Nebraska culture, we'll be back to at least having our culture restored it, and eventually with it wins and competing for a conference championship will follow. I am in no hurry, id rather see it done right. The only thing i miss about the big8/12 (well mostly big 8 cuz it was alwasy played) is playing OU

 

[NewPhoneWhoDis]

Nebraska needs to go back to their bread and butter to compete again (i.e. 1990s style Nebraska football).

They don't have any states adjacent to them with major football talent. They will have difficulty recruiting talent to compete as a normal football team.

Nebraska in the 1990s didn't have high recruiting classes but rather focused on physicality and player development which brought them Ws. Obviously there will be a limit with those teams but still they would likely get back to winning 9-10 games, would be competitive in weaker BIG West, and could use the wins and exposure to start recruiting actual talent.

Yeah -- this is Nebraska's problem. They have next to no instate talent and they don't have any talent in surrounding states.
Now that they are in the B1G -- they are a bottom feeder academically compared to the rest of the conference, so that doesn't help them either.
They now have to sell kids in the SW and West that they will be playing half their season in the Midwest.
I don't think they have a shot to be a national contender ever again, unless they moved the school.
I think they can get to be like a Wisconsin, but I think that is there ceiling in today's CFB landscape.

 

[Deep Creek]

I think the era of regional conferences has come to an end. Just look at the nature of the ACC, SEC and Big Ten. The West is tougher since it's geographically bigger with more spread out populations.

I'm in agreement with the duck...at least as far as football goes. I think regional conferences are a thing of the past. For other sports they may become "more" regional if schools continue to have to cut programs or cut back.

I can see that. But the follow up question is "Would you rather be @Rutgers than @" any of those others? Gotta dance with the ugly chick the same as the good lookin' one.

Like i think like you like have no idea what you are talking about like maybe get a clue then like totally post, okay?

WTF are you talking about. Want to discuss substantive football, I'm here. Babble like a little girl, don't have time.

 

[WhosYourDawggy]

Texas ain't coming to the SEC, enjoy being independent.

Yeah, I agree. UT isn't going to fit in a conference where they don't call the shots. They wouldn't call the shots in the SEC. Always thought that UT would be a good fit for the B1G.

I can see OU and OSU come to the SEC, to make 16. Mizzou moves to the West, Auburn and Bama to the East. Two divisions of 8. Would probably have to use a pod system in order to make it so that we played each other more often ... 4 games in pod, 4 games out of pod, 4 OOC.

Going to be interesting when the next contracts are up. Some buzz going on right now of Disney divesting ESPN. Not sure they can continue to pay the bills at the rate they are now.

I basically showed why your team sucks ass, and legitimately asked to hear your side as to why you are so bad. I'd like to know your thoughts. THen you come on here talking like a little girl. Do better, if you can. Actually respond, or is it just hopeless?

what is all this call the shots thing coming from.. You know those rules Nebraska hated when it came to vote? They were unanimous ..11-1 from the prop 40 cancellation to the CCG games being held in Dallas exclusively. I swear, y'all give UT too much credit. Nebraska, aggy, ou all voted for the unequal sharing..but it's UTs fault? LOL. So currently "who calls the shots" in the SEC??

 

[Blackshirts BLVD]

I'd love to hear the NE fans tell us how they think they can get back to some level of greatness. Here is why they are where they are, IMO:

1. No recruits alive today has any idea that Nebraska was ever great. It's been that long.

Unfortunate for us and I believe the CFB world, but fair point.

2. The best and most big uglies are in the south and staying in the south. How does NE come to GA/FL/LA/AL/TX and convince some of these kids to come to the middle of nowhere and play football when they can stay in the south and play for LSU, Bama, UGA, Clemson, and all the other really good southern schools.

Not sure I put too much weight in this because... that's nothing new. Most of the good recruits always came from the south and Nebraska has always been in "the middle of nowhere", but they made it work for decades. Substitute this by playing off the first one, since no recruits have witnessed greatness from Nebraska, the walk on program has deteriorated as well as the FCS and G5s stepping broadening - the luster that used to exist in Nebraska has died down. Kids used to WANT to come here. Kids used to pass up scholarship offers at these G5s and FCSs before, but not now.

3. CA as a recruiting bed has shrunk ... less and less kids in CA are playing football due to demographic issues - latinos and asians don't play football as much, and CA population has grown incredibly with latin and asians.

Fair point, though historically, Nebraskas biggest recruiting grounds have been Texas and Florida to my knowledge. I could be wrong though.

4. They are in the B1G and haven't competed with the big teams in the B1G, so recruits are more likely to go to B1GE teams and Wisky, and Iowa kids staying home.

Another unfortunate, but fair point. Hope this changes.

Like I think college football is better when the PAC is good, it's better when teams like NE, FSU, Miami, UT - traditional powers - are good. You have fantastic fans. I'd love to see you really get back to greatness and challenge tOSU.

lol

Pretty much Bama. But, the big 6 have the influence ... UA, AU, UF, UT, LSU and UGA.

Your own TV deal is an example of you getting to call the shots. That wouldn't happen in the SEC. The fact that the other teams allowed you to have unequal sharing shows that you call the shots, even if they went along with it. They had to. The teams in the SEC don't have to. I am not saying it's UT's fault ... could be. You did what was best for you. That's fine. Just doesn't work that way in the SEC.
