    Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

    That factor among others is where the logic from that article completely breaks down. I would call that whole article sour grapes. A&M decided to stay in the conference knowing the LSN was coming. From my perspective not much has changed since last summer to all of the sudden outrage...

    Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

    This is where as a Nebraska fan you have to think carefully. I know the Nebraska fan base disliked Texas and all things Texas, but administratively and conference issue wise the two were pretty close. Yeah there were disagreements over things like how the conference championship game all of...

    At some level, and especially when we are talking about some of those schools back East the issue is related though. If you are Rutgers, a 40 mile drive from Times Square, and a New York metro area of 19 million people and you can't fill your 52,000 seat stadium on a consistent basis... I...
