Why We Don't Like You: Nebraska Cornhuskers
Take Your Ball and Go Home: Nebraska has been crossways with the Longhorns since the formation of the Big 12. The new conference took them out of the cushy Big 8 and on the field they've had a 1-8 record against the Longhorns throughout conference play. Next season, Nebraska will head off to the Big 12. Enjoy your wins against Northwestern, Purdue, and Indiana.
Waaah! They Cheated!: Capping the Cornhuskers' frustration with Texas was the Big 12 Championship Game last year, where Texas won with a field goal as time expired. Officials put one second back on the clock after Colt McCoy's incomplete pass, allowing Hunter Lawrence to kick the game-winner. "Cheaters" they yelled from the locker room and NU Coaches Bo and Carl Pelini screamed to see conference officials. That's football, fellas, and no amount of whining is going to put that Big 12 Trophy in Lincoln.
You've Got The Red Ass: Before this season began, the Nebraska athletic department rolled out a promotional video calling for fans to wear red this Saturday: Wear Red, Be Loud, Beat Texas. Now local stores are selling shirts calling tomorrow's game "Judgment Day for the Children of the Horn" and "REDEMPTION :01." You're awfully worked up for a single game.
