[Husker] A&M makes it official

[Aaron Wolfson]

It may not be what the casual fans really wanted, but like you alluded to,
it's been in the process of happening for a long time now, since at least
1996. Oklahoma and others who crapped on that rivalry set the precedent for
what's happening now. It had to simmer a bit is all, and technology and
politics and big money have started adding fuel to the fire. This feels like
a runaway explosion in slow motion.
