[Husker] Big Ten?

[Steven]

All of these comments make sense, however, the Big 10 runs the risk of 
becoming to "east coast" stretched.  Frankly, I think that Penn State has 
been a travel mess for a conference that is really an "upper" midwest 
conference. Indiana is probably as far as I would think that the conference 
would push. I realize they have Purdue and Indiana in the conference, but 
can you imagine if they picked up the fan following of a Notre Dame? or   I 
think Mizzou makes a lot of sense because they pick up St. Louis and Kansas 
City markets.

Iowa State would be a great addition, but they don't bring anything to the 
table, "money wise" . Iowa State doesn't travel well and they are basically 
mediocre in many of their sports.

I don't know how serious the Big 10 is about expansion. This talk crops up 
every year.

We'll see.

Oh yeah, I am on vacation today and next week, so I am watching all of the 
NU games I recorded using my handy dandy DVR.
I am currently watching KU-NU.  I was in Lawrence for that game so theTV 
vantage point is interesting.  I may watch NU- Baylor or NU-OU next.  I 
attended both of those....but have sneak peeked them.  I also recorded the 
NU-Miami Orange Bowl 84.  If I feel like watching an excellent 
comeback...fantastic line play and the most gut wrenching finish in NU lore, 
I just might play that one.
