Time for the Corn Nation Mail Bag!

…you have to have an item of clothing that represents the other team if you enter their state (i.e. if Iowa loses you have to have red on to enter Omaha and the like).

the meth pipe trophy. Just because so much of it is on the Misery River between the two states.

I’m being serious here.

…heck, while we’re at it why don’t we take the time machine all the way back to 1982 and introduce this new fangled thing called…INSTANT REPLAY!

That’s my niece!

I mean, who wouldn’t want to be associated with Stanford, USC, Cal, UCLA and the tv markets that they bring, when we could be associated with Nebraska, Iowa st., k-state, etc.

Oh, the horror.

but I’m ecstatic about y’all leaving for the Big Integer Conference. This should lead to the breakup of the Big 12, which means A&M can go to the SEC where we belong.

for once, Texas will be the little brother.

he is not good on radio.

You can be oldNU and we can be newNU.

I’ll tray and pre-empt Chad’s upcoming pithy response by acknowledging that yes, they also are recently used to upsetting Iowa.

Not so much. Kinda focused on fixing fb for the last 10 years. But Neb is building a new arena.

Just another program for MSU to beat on. Nebraska’s best non-football program (actually, its best program, period) is volleyball, which matters to people inside Nebraska and almost nowhere else.

I haven’t taken a poll or anything, but I would Nebraska fans are excited to play the traditional powers – Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan.

Also, I think Nebraska-Iowa would make for a fun border rivalry, and I think Nebraskans are looking forward to playing Wisconsin regularly – in a good-natured way, because of the historically similar power-running styles and Barry Alvarez’s Nebraska roots.

for the reminder… with all that’s going on, I’d have probably forgot that!

It feels good to be wanted. I like how you use the term “Big 10 alumni.” You’d never hear that out of the Big 12. The Big 12 was a bad marriage from the word “go.”

 It was the old Big 8 that invited the SWC Texas schools in. So what do the Longhorns do? They go into J.R. Ewing mode, prop their cowboy boots on the table and say, “It’s our pond now, we’re the big fish that runs it. If you don’t like it, tough shit.” Rude much?? As long as Tom Osborne is the A.D., Nebraska will never, ever pull a stunt like that.

 As far as I’m concerned, it’s your conference, it’s your rules. We’re the new neighbors on the block and we have to adapt. If we can add to the mix, great.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we got to offer sport-wise:

Football: speaks for itself
Volleyball: Penn State knows about us
Men’s Hoops: needs work…..badly (note to Doc Sadler: you’re now on the clock)
Women’s Hoops: went to its first Sweet 16 in March. Hoping for more
Wrestling: should be some great duels with Iowa
Baseball: went to 3 CWS but have sucked the last 2 years (damn pretty ballpark, though)
Track & Field: Don’t know much about the Big 10 here, but Nebraska is at or near the top of the Big 12 every year.

Alright, then. Let’s play some ball.
