No worries...I don't take anything like this personally. You are right on the stripes quote, I can't even get that right lol. I am a Nebraska fan and we are pretty nuts up here too. I had a pretty hard time converting from B12 to B10 but once the evil that is Texas started giving out ultimatums, I was happy to get the hell out of dodge. Luckily, we joined a conference with such stability. LOL Eventually, we're going to have 4 major conferences and nobody else anyways so I guess we'll see where everything ends up. You guys did land good teams in OU and A&M, probably my two favorite schools to play when we were in the B12. Great tradition and I love OU...we've had so many good battles with them.
I am a college football fan and watch as much as possible, all teams and conferences. I'm very impressed with both LSU and Bama's defenses but I don't think their offenses are THAT good. I watched this game as well as PSU/Bama and LSU/Oregon and see holes in both teams. I think it would be fun to watch either of them play OSU or Stanford (honestly, I can't count Boise as they haven't proven anything as usual being in a high school conference). A true offense vs. defense battle.
Trust me, I'd love to be back in national relevance as a team but we keep choking on our own shoes anytime we get close. We were up to 9th last week and then lose to a shitty Northwestern team. UGH I do have some experience in the National Title discussing as I was in college for 3 out of Nebraska's 5 championships but that was so long ago, I've totally forgotten what it feels like at this point. The year we get into a new conference, it turns into a complete cluster fuck and everyone beats everyone else. How about we end this with me admitting that the SEC is the most solid conference this year, no doubt, but with my asterisk being that I think they are both beatable by a team with a multiple-faceted offense (not just ground or passing games).
