74Hunter you are an obvious worthless troll trying to flame, so I will oblige you.
Nebraska football has sucked for the past 10 years. Iowa's record is better over that period. You would have been a second division team in the Big Ten.
Yes, you won some national championships in the nineties. Congratulations.
But you will not be a big factor in the Big Ten. Moving to this conference is a big step up. A very average Iowa team this year defeated Missouri, who was supposed to be one of the best two teams in your conference. In fact, I think you are, in reality, about on Iowa's level right now, behind Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State.
I predict a 4-4 record for you in the Big Ten this fall. At that point, you can crawl back into your troll hole.

The real question is, why are Nebraska fans so insecure? The B10 was already making "boatloads" of cash, and if Nebraska is worth so much money why did the B12 have such crappy TV deals?
You can thank the B10 for taking you in and sparing you from having to deal with your yearly nailbiter with ISU in the future.

Iowa fans were humbled this year. Despite the surprising win over Missouri, the 2010 season did not go as we had hoped. We are humble and hoping for the best in 2011.
But it appears that nothing on earth can humble a Nebraska fan. Not an embarrassing bowl loss to a horrible Washington team; not an embarrassing one point win over a truly horrible Iowa State;not the shellacking you took from Oklahoma; not even a psychotic coach who threatens players and acts like a juvenile delinquent on the sidelines.
Nothing. The Nebraska fan's arrogance is like death and taxes: an absolute certainty.
Well, welcome to the Big Ten you Big Red idiots. You are going to get your *** handed to you this fall, starting with losses to Ohio State and Wisconsin, for starters. You are not in the Big Two and Little Six anymore. Welcome to a real conference. Good luck; you'll need it.

you went the wrong way. Why did the Big 12's TV package get considerably better when Nebraska left? Clearly they were holding the Big 12 back.

say huh?
I live with one, tell me about it. Although she is starting to understand Nebby is not even close to what it once was. I like Nebbys shot next year in the B10, revamped O, a D thats not used to playing run based teams, an over confidence in speed (which is no better than most b10 teams). Yea I like thier chances of getting thier arses handed to them.
Funny story, when I met my ole lady, I said I dont care what you have done in the past, because it's the past, I only care about what you are going to do this day forward. She gave me a very odd look, which at the time I thought was a woman thing I did not understand, I am thinking now it's a Husker fan thing. A concept that is very hard for Huskers to grasp.

Since the 2000 season, Iowa is 88-50, DONU is 96-48. Iowa has 2 Big 10 co-championships, DONU has won/shared 5 Divisional titles.
Congrats. In the Golden Age of Iowa football, your team has had almost exactly the same amount of success as DONU has had in our Age of Turmoil. This had been the worst 10 year stretch we have had since the 50's. We have had 3 coaching changes, changes in the AD department, yet our success (which no Husker fan thumps his chest over) is roughly the same as Iowa's.
Second division, just like we were in the Big 12? Oh, and should we bring up which conference is better? Bowl Records from 2000-2009 (per Phil Steel), Big 12 is 38-39, Big 10 is 28-41. Last year, the Big 12 had 5 teams finish in the top 20, the Big 10 had 3. Oh, and the Big 12 normally has a team that plays for the MNC.
Football wise, this is, at best a lateral move, but likely a step down. For the university (and state) as a whole, it is a step up. No one outside of the Big 10 is impressed with Big 10 football.
Yes, the same Mizzou team that DONU routed. Nobody said that Mizzou would be the 2nd best in the Big 12. Second best in the North, but the thought was Mizzou was 4th or 5th best in the Big 12 overall, which they ended up being.
Possibly, but only because we have replaced or restructured half of our coaching staff, our offense is in shambles, and the Big 10 made sure to match it's marquee program (DONU) against the the best of the rest.

Poor leadership, no Big 12 network, and Texa$$' greed. If anyone thinks that the Big 12 will get better TV deals now due to the promises made by Dan Beebe, I hope that got that in writing, 'cause it ain't gonna happen.
I will thank the Big 10 for security, stability, and the CIC. But before you cast stones, you may want to make sure you beat Northwestern, aka, K State of the Big 10.

Humble, we lost 4 games by a total of 25 points. That was with an inept offensive coordinator and a freshman QB who played at about 75% for half of the year. More importantly, we have the ability to understand that we were only in year 3 of a rebuilding process, and we still went 10-4. One that showed flashes of hope here and there.
Horrible loss, that no one cared about, not the fans, and apparently not the team.
Bad game that we were fortunate to win.
23-20, wow, what a butt-whooping that was.
I guess I don't remember the "threat," but those in glass houses should not throw stones. You may want to worry more about your training staff hospitalizing a good number of your players, your players taking illegal PEDs, and your players getting arrested, more than our coach getting upset over a pretty obvious screw job.
Much like your ignorance.
Really, well, the Big 8's last year was 1995, in which there were 4 Big 8 teams that finished in the Top 10. Your post is so full of epic fail.
Apparently when dealing with opposing fan bases.
