The majority of people wish NU could go home but they can't.
Nebraska is like man who went through a epic mid-life crisis. Got a divorce to chase the hot piece of ass but after a while, they realized they made a mistake and can't go back.

Made a mistake? No. We are home now. It's funny to me how people throw around this idea that a majority of fans wish we could go back, yet nobody produces any kind of a poll to prove it. Every poll I've seen on every site says that a clear majority of fans are satisfied with where we are.Nebraska is like man who went through a epic mid-life crisis.

The Big 12 is like man who went through a epic mid-life crisis. Got a divorce to chase the hot piece of ass (Texas) but after a while, they realized they made a mistake and can't go back.

Our 2 biggest rivals are gone from the Big 12. What would we be going back to?I would love to see us go back to the Big 12
I know it won't happen, but leaving seems to have stripped ourselves of our identity. The B1G is mostly a bunch of eastern schools. I don't think we belong. I'd go back in a heartbeat if we could.
Thanks but no thanks. All those years and all those votes when all of our old Big 8 brethren cozied up and sided with Texass on many decisions that favored Texass and basically gave them all the power in the Big 12. You guys jumped into bed with the whore Texass and now you're paying the price. Deal with it. NU is doing just fine with no UT drama, Big 10 stability and all the Big 10 $$$$. We good!!Cool Now go back to shining Texass's boots!
I wouldn't miss Colorado at all. Missouri I would miss some, but I would be happy to play TCU and WV.Our 2 biggest rivals are gone from the Big 12. What would we be going back to?
This is on the money. /End discussion.Here's the thing - Yes I would rather have stayed back in 2010 IF a huge and real conversation took place that somehow made us as valued as we should have been within the conference, Texas lost its preferential treatment, there was a Big 12 Network instead of a Longhorn Network, and none of the other teams left. But going back to a shell of that conference now would be a bad idea, much worse than staying put.

Well said. I will freely admit that I used to hate the B1G and made fun of it. The idea of us joining the conference was batted around occasionally and at that time the idea of us ever joining seemed laughable. But I never was all that enamored with the Big 12, and when it came time to look for a more stable alternative, the B1G made the most sense. I have never looked back and think we are in the right place now anyway. Contrary to NikkiSixx above, I think we fit in better geographically with the B1G than the Big 12. The Big 12 is too Texas dominated(not just the University, but the whole state). We do not fit in culturally with Texas schools. The B1G is a cold weather conference, and in that respect we fit in better. It's nice to actually be one of the warmer places in the conference rather than one of the coldest. It was often said in Big 12 baseball, that Nebraska was the only place where the coach had to own a snow shovel(after Iowa State dropped their program). That's definitely not the case in the B1G.IMHO we are a far better cultural fit in the B1G. After everything that happened to Nebraska in the Big 12, I can't imagine anyone making a decision to return. As others have posted in this thread (and countless others), I feel no sympathy at all for the plight of our former conference brethren. We left that conference to avoid exactly what they are dealing with. Put simply, we got a golden ticket when we were invited to the B1G and we'll never leave. I despised the B1G for most of my life but now, I can't imagine a place I'd rather see Nebraska be. The B1G is a conference, the Big 12 is 9 moons in orbit around Jupiter.

I also feel like Nebraska is a much better cultural fit in the B1G. Yes, Nebraska and New Jersey are very different places. But the cultural of our state is likely more similar to Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana than it is to Texas, Oklahoma, or (formerly) Colorado and arguably Missouri.
My wife is a Texan and we spend a lot of time down there. On those visits, I often get called a Yankee by perfect strangers. Whether we want to admit it or not, some wounds substantially predate the Big XII.
Exactly how I feel. I miss the close proximity of the old conference teams. Even going to Stillwater or Norman wasn't bad. And with such a longstanding relationship with the old schools, I miss the rivalry with the old Big 8. The Big 10 schools still bore me, and always will. The distance to the Big 10 schools certainly defers me to attending any away game. I was in Wisconsin in June for vacation, and maybe it's me getting old, but that was a long drive for me. And that's probably one of the closer places to Nebraska.I like the Big Ten in terms of stability and money. But in terms of the product on the field, I can't say I'm excited about playing Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Iowa every year.
I know the Big 12 North wasn't great, but at least Ames, Lawrence, and Manhattan were all a short drive away. Now we're in a terrible division with only one school that's within 5 hours from Lincoln.
Fantastic post. Shell of the league is a great way to put it. They have no one left to grab. Is there serious excitement from them with Houston coming into the league?
Has anyone spoken with any K-State or ISU fans about how they feel with OU possibly leaving? I'd love to hear their take.
