It's an honor and challenge for Nebraska competing with UM in the same division

looking forward to playing the most winning program in CF on an annual basis. I know there will be many, many memorable games between two of the best. We'll never replace your OSU rivalry, but I'm sure we'll instantly become each others top division rival. Congratulations on keeping The Game

I've been reading some Nebraska blogs and I must say that I'm very impressed with them.  They seem soft-spoken but strong and knowledgeable about football.  They respect the Big 10 as a whole, the history of the conference, each team's place in it, and the special opportunity that they have by joining (not to mention how much the B10 is getting from Nebraska too).

So, I must say, I consider Nebraska to be a real threat in our division but I think that this could turn into a very friendly but extremely competitive rivalry.  We just hate OSU with everything we have, we occasionally remember that MSU exists, and we hate ND for being the "other" us.  Nebraska can be a peer that we want to play and win every year.  PSU was kind of like that, but since we didn't play them every year (not to mention their constant moaning about how Michigan, refs, and the conference as a whole was putting forth all their effort just to screwing them over) it didn't quite develop in the same way I could see this working out.

Anyway, I look forward to many games against the Cornhuskers.  Welcome.
