And how many national titles HAS Texas won???

Not counting the one they split with Nebraska back in 1970...two (1963, 1969).

Texas' tradition doesn't hold a candle to the pre-Pederson Nebraska tradition.

As long as SP is in the big chair, though, they got us licked faster than a lollipop at a Telly Savalas look-alike contest.

NWI you have some valid points, however SP did what had to be done when he canned Frank. Frank drove this program into the ground, not SP. Bill Byrne did nothing to improve our facilities and SP is. The bottom line is this, Frank Solich had many opportunities to get the job done and he didn't. Frank took over a cadillac of a program and left it a Pinto. I didn't see any major universities fighting for the right to have Frank become there next head coach. Thank you SP you are a godsend.

Texas has won 2, how many times have they been in the hunt? how do you think they would have done in the big12 north?

In recent history, they were out of it as much as they were in it. With the exception of 1-2 years between 1969-2000, the Huskers were in the hunt just about EVERY year.

As bad as the Big 12 North was last year, I can name 3-4 high school teams in Nebraska that would have made things interesting. The North Division sucked platypus eggs.

NWI I agree that the Big XII North sucked last year and we did not win it, however you miss the point we didn't win it because we were playing with Franks clowns.

WRONG BULLDOG. We didn't win because we were playing with BC's CLOWNS.

great point consider that only 5 out of 60 players that seen the field were recruited by BC

considering***

4*+ recruits

Nebraska-11
Colorado-1
Iowa State-0
Kansas-0
Kansas State-2
Missouri-1



2003-4
2004-2 (both signed by Callahan)
2005-11 (will be 13 by February 2nd)

who care about the Big 12 North, Tell us SO404 about how the Big 12 South is doing with 4*+ recruits

It wasn't the players that I referred to as CLOWNS.

Here it is

Oklahoma - 13
Texas A&M - 10
Texas - 8
Oklahoma State - 2
Texas Tech - 2
Baylor - 1

Oklahoma and Texas must not recruit many 2* athletes because there isn't any on their lists.

ok NU is 2nd in the big 12 beating out 2 recruiting powerhouses and 3 of 5 of the big recruiting rankings have NU ahead of OU and personally i would take NU's class over OUs any day


What a slap in the face to have 3 of your top 4 players pulled out of you're home state by ONE school... that hurts

Yeah, I'm sure that really stung while they were playing in a multi-million dollar bowl game and we were sitting at home.

And theyve never sat at home while we were in a national championship game... the only difference was we were actually good enuff to blow them out when they were down

What is your definition of a blowout?? Leading 30-0 until NU kicks a field goal on the last play of the game...

"...the only difference was we were actually good enuff to blow them out when they were down"

Oh reeeeeeeally??? Let's look at the last five times Nebraska has been ranked higher than Texas and the final outcome (NR = Not Ranked):

1996: (NR) Texas 37, (3) Nebraska 27 (Big 12 Championship)
1998: (NR) Texas 20, (7) Nebraska 16
1999: (18) Texas 24, (3) Nebraska 20
1999: (3) Nebraska 22, (12) Texas 6 (Big 12 Championship)
2003: (16) Texas 31, (12) Nebraska 7

"And theyve never sat at home while we were in a national championship game..."

And just for the record...when Nebraska went 13-0 and won the 1997 national championship...Texas was 4-7 and sat at home watching us win the national title.

oh i dont know, maybe like when NU won 69-7 63-10 or something like that against OU

NU-OU series since 1962, since you want to have another theory disproved...

Wins: OU 22, NU 19 (OU also leads the all-time series, 41-37-3)
Wins by a touchdown or less: NU 8, OU 8
Wins by 8-14 points: NU 5, OU 4
Wins by 15 or more points: OU 9, NU 7

And my sarcasm detector works just fine...it would seem your knowledge of recent Husker history is a little fuzzy, however.

If you need to know anything more about Husker history, please don't hesitate to ask...
