Big 10 vs Big 12 discussion thread

[JoelBittner]

Lot's of good ol fashion chest thumping in several threads.

The Big 10 was partner in the grand-daddy of all bowls, The Rose Bowl.
The Big 10 decided to add Penn State almost 30 years ago and that started a seismic shift in college sports.
The Big 10 was the first to start it's own television network.
The Big 10 has been a forward thinking conference since its inception. The schools themselves being inclusive in the realm of ideas; gender and race.

The U of Iowa helped reinvigorate the Big 10 in 1981 when Iowa broke the stranglehold Michigan/Ohio State had on the conference. Soon after 1981 the other schools were getting their moment in the sun, which strengthened the conference as a whole.

Nebraska jumped from the Big 12 to the Big 10 when given the chance. Why? Cuz they could see who was ascendant in the super-conference sweepstakes.

So, let the debate begin as to which conference is better and how that affects a given school's history!?!?

Is this really even much of a debate?. The future viability of the B12 is in question.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

There is really only two sure bets when it comes to conferences. The B1G and the sec. the other three all have faults.

Leave it to a Hawkeye fan to continually live in the past.

 

[iclone]

LOL on Nebraska. They are now nationally irrelevant

The B1G was historically far far superior to the Big 12. Then Neb switched conferences & it helped close the gap for the Big 12.

If ISU were to ever join the B1G then the Big 12 may surpass us on conference strength. The dead weight of Neb & ISU would make the B1G the laughing stock of America. Kind of like the old Big 8/12.

That fizzled out in the 50s and then from that point you became the standing joke and laughing stock of the nation and known as the weak 10

It was always called the Weak12 since the beginning of that conference. Not sure what they call it now that Neb left. The So-So12?

Lol, is there any state that doesn’t bully Neb?! Crazy to think that you could literally move 1 state to the East & have a far superior quality of life. Yet there’s around 1.8 million people too stupid to realize this!

Most of your population lives in the sticks, thus the term hicks in the sticks and there isn't a city in IA that even comes close to any kind of relevance compared to Omaha and your largest city Des Moines is nothing more than a cesspool. The population of Iowa ain't the sharpest tools in the shed! LMAO!!!

Even Omaha native Alexander Payne knows how lame Omaha is, which is why he's made fun of it in most of the movies he's made.

Sorry.

Like "Election".

Like "Election".

And 'About Schmidt'. Hilarious. Sorry Nebraskans, but hilarious.

Most people from Omaha consider Payne a DB

I don't think he mentioned anything about Omaha in "Downsizing", did he?

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Haha, of course they do.

Actually, I was talking about the "future"...try to keep up.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Not sure. His brilliance at capturing the mundane, beige, lifelessness of the city in so many of his other movies is pretty impressive though.

Lmfao!!! Ask anybody across America. Des Moines is waaaay cooler than Omaha! That’s why Omaha's considered Des Moines’ ghetto!

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

LMFAO!!! I just Googled “best city to live in”. Right away Des Moines popped up as no.4! Piece of trash Omaha was no where to be found. You think if I Google “crappiest City to live in” that Omaha would be no.1 or no.2??

 

[grayhair81]

Birds fly upside down in Nebraska because there is nothing worth shitting on there. They can't even afford a bicameral legislature.

 

[Iafootballfan]

It would be nice to have rational discussions on topics like this without the same 3-4 trolls ruining every thread.

The University of Iowa does not have a college of agriculture or offer degrees in agriculture studies. That is unlike the University of Nebraska.

 

[Blackleaf40]

Rattard and wyldturd will be sure to get their jimminies in a bunch.

Two losers backing losers.
