Beat Texas

You may recall that last year Nebraska played Texas in the conference championship game and won, until in an unprecedented move (not actually permitted in the conference rules) the refs put 00:01 back on the clock. With that one second Texas kicked a field goal, won, and went on to play in the national championship. Of course, the bad blood goes back years, perhaps since UT joined the Big 8 and it became the Big 12. They used their massive popular appeal to ramrod their agenda through the conference. The headquarters moved south to Texas, revenue sharing took an inequitable distribution that favored UT, and that university secured a home advantage for every conference title game. It is ugly. A few weeks ago, Nebraska walked out on the Texas and the patsies who gave into the Texans demands each year. Nebraska will play in the Big 10 beginning in 2011. So in Nebraska's final season with the Big 12 the University of Nebraska produced this video which seems to identify a single date of importance: Oct 10, 2010 - the day Nebraska plays Texas. The message is simple: Beat Texas.
