Nebraska and the Big 12

[War Eagle1]

Nebraska is a smaller university in a thinly populated state. We don't have too much to draw on---either in alumni base or in state wealth.
I. But here's What We Are:

A) Big 12 School Enrollments: (Undergraduate and Graduate; Source: Kansas City Star, 6/06)

1. Texas : 50,377
2. Texas A&M: 44,435
3. Colorado : 32,362
4. Texas Tech: 28,325
5. Oklahoma : 27,483
6. Missouri : 27,003
7. Kansas : 26,980
8. Iowa State : 26,380
9. Oklahoma State : 23,819
10 Kansas State: 23,151
11 Nebraska: 21,792
12 Baylor: 13,799
.

1. Missouri : 81.2
2. Texas : 79.6
3. Iowa : 52.4
4. Oklahoma : 50.3
5. Colorado : 41.5
6. Kansas : 32.9
7. Nebraska: 22.3 people/square mile
.

7. Nebraska: 1.8-million
[Note: The Texas population (23.5-mil) is more than all of the other Big 12 states combined (21.8-mil).]
.
II. How We're Known:
The nation knows us mostly for our football---it's become a major part of our identity.
--The state name is typically in national rankings.
--High-profile bowl games are frequent.
--Memorial Stadium is known as "the state's third largest city."
--The phrase "A sea of red".. it's ours.
For a humble state in America 's outback.... that's quite a bit.

Any chance you'd think some of these statistics fall in NU's favor only because they are the only major university in the entire state

Congrats to NU for also having the second largest football budget in the Big 12, right behind Texas.

Sorry............I cant comment on this thread much since I am a Pretender


Living in the state no longer qualifies you to make comments about the only football team you have in the state let alone being able to post anything against them or in favor of them in order to draw attention to your posts let alone allowing someone else making a false sense of what you are trying to portray


Later

Hehe at least I got your attention

That may be, but it doesn't change the fact that you're D blows right now. As a matter of fact, I might go out on a limb here and say NU may not win another game this year. Mizzou might put up 70 on 'em.

Now that's definitely not NU's strong suit.

[R.D.]
