A United States Congressman actually wrote this crap.
It is about respect for the Cornhuskers and their culture of excellence. It’s about our big, corn-fed linemen, our hard-nosed backs and our tradition of receivers who actually block. We help give America a sense that guts and determination, tradition and honor, still matter.
The only thing I needed from Nebraska was the Oklahoma rivalry and that was tossed aside for a bigger paycheck. Some culture you got there, big guy.
Get The Picture 
America needs you to lose and lose badly for as long as you’re in the Big 10. Egotistical power plays by administrators at the expense of the fans and alumni of the schools and their rivals deserve be punished.
Nobody cares how mean Texas was to you.

Many of us recall the Texas troll Joe Barton and his perennial attempts to involve Congress in the workings of the BCS. This kind of bullshit revealed an essential fraudulence about his character and it was hardly a surprise recently when he wound up announcing the end of his career in Congress. This ludicrous nonsense out of Cornlandia, with its brazen, foolish assertion that one corner of this Nation is the unique receptacle of its core values and virtues, at least does not threaten an “investigation” or “hearings” on his perceived need for Nebraska’s return to the CFB world of 20+ years ago. But it is an insult to the intelligence of his readers and listeners, PARTICULARLY those of his home State.

Nebraska is a cold, rural, barely growing flyover state of less than 2 million people. Oh, and little diversity. Sorry, but top athletes don’t want to play there, and now that every game is televised, Nebraska no longer holds that key edge that they did previously.
They then made matters worse by leaving the conference that offered them fertile recruiting ground and joined another that offers them little, all while being treated as a redheaded step child from the outset. That’s you’re bad, and much like Sears and Yahoo of yesteryear, Nebraska still thinks it’s relevant when it really isn’t.
Other than an occasional solid season due to being in a weak division, Nebraska won’t do much at all from this point forward.

Not entirely. A good hire isn’t going to fix their instate talent base or the fact that Texas and Oklahoma seem to have their shit together.

Nothing wrong with that, mind you. But people should be realistic about what they are. Otherwise, they’ll be perpetually disappointed.

Yeah, it was stupid. And I hate Nebraska. Mainly because I had a roommate in the 90’s who was a Nebraska fan and I watched a couple of games with his family. They couldn’t wait to tell me how inferior the SEC was and they would get really pissed when they scored less than 70 points or had a margin of victory less than about 50. I still remember watching them play Oklahoma one time and Nebraska won 73-21. They considered the game ruined because Oklahoma scored 21. So Nebraska deserves to get drubbed, repeatedly, and their fans deserve it too. And that representative is a moron.
