They might beat the Horns tomorrow but I think it is funny how Texas has owned the series from the inception of the Big 12. This great midwestern school has been a flop for way too long & has been little brother to Oklahoma & Texas & struggled to win the weaker Big 12 North on a regular basis, pathetic.
Texas came in right as Osborne was retiring. I think they knocked him off once. They built their dominant record against Nebraska by beating up on Solich's and Callahan's teams....which wasn't difficult because everyone was doing it.
Texas was mediocre for the better part of 30 years in a terrible conference. Mack Brown's success comes from talent alone. His clock management in the B12 title game last year where he, and his QB, ran a roll out pass play with a few seconds left makes Les Miles look brilliant at the end of close LSU games. As much talent as the state of Texas has, it's sad that they only have one national title in the last 39 years. If not for Vince Young, Mack Brown would still be looking for one with a roster full of 4 and 5 star recruits.
Three of the top 6 NCAA money makers were from the Big 12 last year with Nebraska being 6th, I wonder where they will rank once they leave the Big 12. They had their bread buttered in the Big 12, being mediocre yet still raking in the cash.
Nebraska was ranked the 4th highest money making school in football last year. I'm not sure how they had their bread buttered. They're set to make even more by joining the Big 10.
