Lifelong Nebraskan and former sportscaster. I'm thrilled that Nebraska is joining the Big 10 and leaving Texas and the Nine Dwarfs behind. Can't wait for road trips to The Big House, The Horseshoe and Madtown. Don't think I'll miss Bill Snyder Family Stadium or T. Boone Pickens Stadium. Even though Nebraska usually leaves a lot to be desired in basketball, it will be fun to see legendary Big 10 programs come to Lincoln. I'm a fan of the Saints (long before last year), the Red Sox, Celtics, Red Wings and even though I'm a Nebraskan, I'm also a fan of LSU, Michigan State and UCLA.
