God, will you ever shut up? :shake:

I actually think you're enough of a bitch to play defense for the Huskers. You should call Dicknose and see if he can fit you with a Blackskirt.

How great do we think Mizzou is? I have posted several times that I think OSU will give us a good scare this Saturday. I've noted that we could very well lose at Texas. How is Mizzou less-great than that? What metric are you attempting to use?

I think Phillips will be out of jail in 10 years or so.

I don't feel like the different sides of this discussion are actually making the arguments the other side feels it is.

I don't think most Mizzou fans are trying to convince anyone we have the tradition of some of the programs listed (maybe I am missing something?) but obviously have no problem feeling like we have the quality team we have.

Uhhh OU does win now last time I checked. :spock:

You are being overly dramatic about all of this.

Tradition.......so you got that going for ya

Who gives a ****! Got your junk handed to you, then come on here throwing around a tradition card? Hope the traditions comfort you through your time of powder puff football. Yes MU fans wanted to go there and win, kinda the ****ing point, ain't it there Opie. Truly a dumb thread.

MU has some boosters with pretty deep pockets also. Which is a good thing for ANY program that wants to win

I understand the ocean levels continues to rise due meltdowns of this proportion.

...

What's a long enough period? 20yrs? 30yrs? 40yrs?

You do realize it's already been 7 years since NU has even beat a ranked team right?:shake:

So Harvard & Princeton have more tradition?:)

Amazing...Nebraska fans think it's their right to be the best...like I said before:

Nebraska is Iowa State with tradition.ROFL

Oklahoma's past has a positive impact on their present and future. That's the value of tradition. If you can't parlay tradition into continued success, it's not worth a damned thing.

Missouri is a great team, and any objective observer puts them squarely in the middle of the National Championship hunt. Clearly Mizzou doesn't have the tradition of Nebraska , but that doesn't mean that they aren't a better program. Clearly Mizzou is light-years ahead of Nebraska. Do you honestly believe that Nebraska will have more success over the next 10 years than Missouri?

Missouri has the enormous built-in advantage that comes with being the only D-I school in a top 10 state in terms of D-I players coming out of high school. They have a coach who has proven that he can identify talent, keep it in state, and supplement that talent with out of state players when needed.

Nebraska, on the other hand, is turning into a program where coaches go to die. They have no in state talent to speak of, and they used to make a living off of pulling players out of surrounding states including Missouri. Guess what? Those days are over. Why would a player from Missouri choose to go to Nebraska? Tradition? Ask the Husker players what they thought of tradition after Chase Daniel pulled down their pants and made them march in the Homecoming parade. Do you think that Saturday's game did anything other than shovel dirt on Nebraska's grave?

Pretty much my very point.

Mizzou has a darn good tradition the mid 80's and 90s killed alot of it off.

jesus. ****ing. tapdancing. a2m christ.

come the **** on.

die, thread, die.

we shouldn't let it die till nebraska gets ran by the table in the big xii

Oklahoma was down for a long time, and it wasn't their tradition that brought them back. It was Bob Stoops. If Nebraska ever makes a comeback, it won't be because of their tradition. It will be because they hire a great coach who turns around a terrible program.

If Bob Stoops had gone to Iowa State, Iowa State would be a powerhouse. If Oklahoma had hired Bill Callahan, they would be where Nebraska is now. Nebraska's tradition may get a coach to answer the phone when the AD calls looking for a new coach, but that window is closing as well. If Pellini doesn't work out, all bets are off. UNL is dangerously close to becoming a resume stain.

I don't recall OU being "down" for any extended period. They weren't good from '96 to '98 when they had John Blake and Howard Schnellenberger. OU is the only school with 4 coaches with more than 100 wins. Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer, Stoops and some dude from the '20's.

They were down by OU standards in the 90's.

1994: 6-6
1995: 5-5-1
1996: 3-8
1997: 4-8
1998: 5-6

That's not that long ago, and you forgot how far down they really were. I'm guessing that you were old enough to have followed college football at the time, too. The same thing is happening to Nebraska in reverse. It was that same period of time when Nebraska was a factor in a national sense. Now kids are supposed to remember that Nebraska was good 10+ years ago...when they were 7 years old?

Exactly!:clap:

Exactly.

Find me a post where a Mizzou fans is crowing about their "tradition."

To be fair, Mizzou does seem to be beginning a tradition of anually pushing in Nebraska's shit.

Awesome vid.

You couldn't let it go.

I think Pelini will need four years to right the ship. I think it will be at least year three before he hands out blackshirts. I'm glad I won't be home on Saturday to watch them play Texas Tech.

Sweet, one way or another we'll get to see this thread bumped for another four years.

What happened to Pelini's fire turning the D into a top 20 unit?

How nice it is seeing Nebraska, Michigan, Florida State, and Miami sucking.

Whoever said he would do that this year was crazy. Next year doesn't look much better.

In a few weeks there will be a thread identical to this one except it will be directed to the KU fans after Kansas rolls them by 30 points.

yes it is..........funny how Nebraska thought they would shut the Tigers out. What were they thinking:shake:

You forgot Notre Dame.

ND hasn't been good since early 90's. except the Brady Quinn year in '06 where they got stomped in that BCS game, I cant remember who they played.

LSU

I was gonna say them but my other half of my brain told me they won the NC that year. :D
