I'm completely OK with that and have said I hope like hell that I'm wrong infinity times (yes, hyperbole).
Still can't believe that you, as an athlete, coach, and competitor, are ambivalent (at best) about this. It's pathetic.
Who cares about culture or integrity or optics or marketing when you're 4-0, right?
Honestly do not understand why people care about a game that happened 50 years ago. OU isn't a rival. It's a novelty for people to think about as something that used to matter decades ago. It's a rivalry in the same way that Notre Dame playing Navy is a rivalry TBH.
Nebraska's back and HERE to stay
I'm going to be horned up when we're 4-0 having beat nobodies and every national pundit clowns us for cancelling the OU game and being a pretender. I'm sure it'll be a great boost for recruiting
Right, if this was some other Top 10 opponent like Texas A&M it would be SLIGHTLY less lame and might fade away. But it's Oklahoma! Supposedly our sacred equal partner in the college football cosmos, on the 50th anniversary of our most famous game, the one that birthed millions of Nebraska fans across the nation, commemorating and reviving the historic rivalry two more times while our elderly legends can still take part and witness the series. We're gonna throw all THAT away for a cheap-ass win against Old Dominion? And the fanbases and college football world are just gonna give NU a pass for dipping out?? I just do not see it or respect the thought process behind it at all.
I do love the combination of this post and the username
It would still be super lame, but yeah, the context of this series and in particular, this game IN Norman, just makes such a gutless move 100% unforgivable.
There was always going to be more than one opportunity to play good teams looking at the schedule.
I can't tell if you're trolling, that's how fucking retarded this is.
Now I feel like you're just playing things out
"The University of Nebraska is looking forward to playing Oklahoma in Norman on September 18th. Due to the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to Husker athletics and the local community, our administration did explore the possibility of adding an eighth home game this fall. That option would have helped us mitigate cost-cutting measures and provide a much-needed boost to our local economy. Ultimately, the decision was made to move forward with our game at Oklahoma in 2021. We have the utmost respect for the University of Oklahoma, and this storied rivalry, and I know our fans have been excited about this series for a long time."
I think you can wipe the tears away now yeah? This changes literally everything
As a fellow keeper, I imagine you can understand more than most, the devastation of an own goal.
And for the record, I never doubted the game would be played.
It didn’t look good about noon. Its almost like the leaks were designed to gauge the backlash.
Those wank gifs are going to make a re-appearance.
Whomever thought this was a legitimate idea should be fired by sundown.
