Bad blood between teams makes for some great games!
Shame that Nebraska and Texas will stop playing after so many years - and now that things are heating up.
I doubt Nebraska coaches, players, and fans will want to beat the Ohio State and Michigans as bad as they (would) enjoy beating Texas.

Gainesville Sun staff writers are here to help get you through the long, hot summer with a daily dose of college football. The series runs every day until the start of fall practice.Conference re-alignment shook out without as many changes as originally expected.But one thing is clear based on spending time in Nebraska. People here are still bitter about Texas.During opening ceremonies at Ronsenblatt Stadium, Texas baseball coach Augie Garrido was booed when introduced as one of the stadium's 28 legends. The reason? He's associated with the Longhorns.The perception amongst Nebraskans is that Texas strong-armed a deal to keep the Big 12 together that benefited only them while emasculating the rest of its member schools. That's why Nebraska chose to move to the Big Ten.Here's what Omaha World-Herald columnist Lee Barfknecht wrote in a Sunday analysis column of conference re-alignment: "The Longhorns helped chase two members out of the Big 12, bullied five others into giving them their lunch money and then passed themselves off as saving a beloved damsel in distress."Should make for an interesting matchup when Nebraska hosts Texas on Oct. 16 in its final Big 12 season. Of course, the two schools could also meet in the Big 12 title game.Also, does anyone else think it's strange that there are going to be 10 schools in the Big 12 and 12 schools in the Big Ten?--
