Sparty, you must go back to your bitter ways of old. It’s the only thing that can save you from further years of quoting M*ch*g*n and Ohio State statistics to make yourself look good. It’s not natural, it’s not healthy.
Cornhuskers, you have the same problem. Your once proud and distinguished program has fallen on hard times the past few seasons, but people forget only seven years ago you were in the BCS Championship game.
That’s more than Alabama can say.
So you’ve latched on to how well Texas and Oklahoma have done as a proclamation for your program, you’re living vicariously through them while your program is down. You even wished Missouri a BCS bid last season, even though they pasted you 41-6.
Why do this? You had 33 consecutive seasons of nine-plus wins from 1969-2001. That’s utterly amazing.
(Sidenote: think about that for a second, 33 consecutive seasons of nine-plus wins, how astonishing is that? For as great as Miami was in the '80s and '90s, they only put together 10 straight seasons of nine-plus. USC's recent dominance has only spanned six seasons of nine-plus. College football’s presumed end-all-be-all, Notre Dame, never more than six straight.)
And now you’re willing to throw away all your past glory for a few cheap declarations about how good the Big 12 is? You bought into the hype of CSC as a way to make yourself feel better and deal with the fact that your team isn’t that good right now.
Does it really make you feel that much better about your conference being good when your team isn’t? Are you really that happy that you have to listen to opposing Big 12 fans brag about their recent successes while you sit and sulk at another Alamo Bowl berth?
Those teams are ones you face every season, you have to deal with their badgering and boasting year after year.
