I... I... what?
Nelva Deeke won a contest from the ESPN TV show "College GameDay" and Home Depot.Okay, okay: USC-Illinois did not exactly go down in the lore of the Rose Bowl, but it's not like Nebraska was busy on January first. You've been given a choice between a free junket to sunny California in January or lunch with Lee Corso in Lincoln, Nebraska, and you pick Corso?
She was given the choice either of tickets and all expenses paid to the Rose Bowl, or the show's three hosts: Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso would come to her home for a barbecue.
"I could've gotten tickets, with all the amenities, to the Rose Bowl, but since Nebraska wasn't playing, I decided not to use that one," she said. Instead of a barbecue in Hubbell, Deeke and some friends met the GameDay crew for lunch at a Lincoln restaurant, May 21.
I say we excommunicate the entire state. It'll be like Lesotho, except the Basotho would have the damn sense to go to the Rose Bowl.

ESPN got away cheap with that one. I'm sure the Gameday crew had a good laugh on their way to the lunch.

its a shame i didnt know about this contest. it wouldve been nice to slap the 3 stooges for their biased hatred towards oklahoma. after i finished with the wall to wall counseling i couldve educated the stooges to the true documented historical record of the current top 6 big 12 members domination of the top 6 sec current members all time. when you compare the head to head records of (bama, auburn, uga, lsu, florida, and tenn) against (ou,tex,neb,colorado,texas am, and mizzou) the big 12 leads 82-63-9 all time with about 80% of those 154 games being played at sec venues. texas is 7-0-1 against bama all time, nebraska is 5-0-1 against lsu all time, texas win record against all top 6 sec programs, neb win record against 5/6 only bama at 3-2 has a win record against neb, no sec top 6 team has a win record against ou, missouri has a win record against 4 of the top 5 sec teams its played. mizzou has never played florida so only uga has a win record against mizzou of the top 6 sec teams. all time bama is 14-16-2 not against the top 6 big 12 teams but that includes the cupcakes like baylor and iowa st as well. tenn is a stellar 9-8-1 against the entire big 12, auburn is 11-15-1 all time, and florida is 5-6-1 all time against the entire big 12. as you can imagine the records are even worse against the top 6 big 12 teams. 1 sec team lsu has a win record against the big 12 top 6. lsu is 39-37-5 all time but most of that is with their games against texas am in which they lead 26-20-3. lsu win record against am and colorado, losing record to mizzou, neb, texas, and even with ou. i dont see this so called domination by the sec that we hear every year. ive followed college football since 1973 and every year its the same bs. the sec is the greatest, lol yea right. only 2 catagories i see the sec leading the big 12 in and that would be mythical unearned begged for national titles you know titles with losses and playing 1aa teams. 2 big 12 teams have played more than 22 1aa teams since ww2 (modern era when teams could fly from coast to coast and line it up) while the sec has 8 members that have played 25 or more in the same time span. iowa st and k st have played 35 each while s. car played 25, bama 27, vandy 29, tenn 31, kentucky 36, ole miss 40, auburn 41, and miss st 45. as the stats prove the sec pads its records then all the illiterates claim how great they are. when you look at unbeaten, untied (earned national titles) the big 12 has 12 the big 10 has 9 and the sec has 7. bama has 3 earned titles, tenn, lsu, uga, and auburn have 1 each. ou has 4 neb has 4 texas has 3. ou, neb, and notre dame lead in this catagory with 4 each. once again where is this so called sec domination? ill tell you in your heads because you listen to homerish biased joke of a network like espn. who knows maybe espn doesnt know the true facts because if they do and dont report it then it means they are biased towards the suck east conf. these stats are brought to you by rev longbone......enjoy

one thing to add i only count the ap, upi and bcs titles. anything before 1936 i could careless about since some colleges were still playing high school teams as late as 1932 years before the invention of the jet engine (ww2) which made jet passenger travel possible. thats why experts refer to anything after ww2 as the modern era. the 1aa opponents stats are from 1945-2007.

here are the records of each program against the other conf top 6 teams.....against top 6 big 12 teams all time bama is 10-15-2, tenn is 4-5-1, uga is 4-7, lsu 39-37-5, auburn 5-12, and florida 1-6-1.... against the sec top 6 programs ou is 5-3-1, texas 28-12-3, neb 15-4-1, colorado 2-9-1, texas am 27-33-3, and mizzou 5-2....by the documented historical facts its clear if you formed a super 12 conference with these programs that bama, auburn, uga, tenn, and florida would be fighting it out with colorado and texas am for 6th place in such a conference....now before any sec homer tries to whine and cry about auburn unbeaten in 2004 with no title ill save you the tears because ou 1954 in the middle of their 47 game win streak didnt win that title. ou wins last 9 of 53 including the orange bowl over the 1953 champion, unbeaten in 54,55,56 yet only 2 titles so save the tears and cry someone else a river......just a few more facts for you.

recently i read some article about a bama homer whining and crying about how bama was the "only" team to ever be cheated out of 3 straight ap titles lol what a joke. 1st of all 1964 bama lost to 1 loss texas as usual since bama has never defeated texas in its 8 meetings in the bowl game while unbeaten arkansas (who gave texas its only loss) was defeating unbeaten nebraska in the cotton bowl. 1964 real champion arkansas not wanna be bama. 1965 bama went 9-1-1 and was handed another gift mythical title they werent good enough on the field to earn then in 1966 when unbeaten they whine and cry they were cheated lmfao. the only team ever to be cheated of 3 earned ap titles would be ou since ou had 3 straight undefeated untied seasons 1954,1955, and 1956. as stated in earlier post ou defeated the 1953 champion in the orange bowl to finish the 1953 season. so no it isnt wanna be bama but in fact oklahoma that has the only legit claim to have been cheated. now with that you can carve in stone the fact that you wont ever see in your lifetime or your childs or grandchildren lifetime ou ever disrespect the great traditions of ohio st or ucla by claiming the 1954 or trying to claim it from those unbeaten ap and upi title teams. in other words you wont ever see oklhaoma beg for a title like southern cal 8-0-2 tried 55 years after the fact against 11-0 1939 legit champion texas am. ou doesnt beg for titles. we earn ours and when ou isnt good enough to earn the national title or as in 1954 not be selected as the champion we dont whine and cry about it.

"cfb expert" is certainly no "capitalization expert." Jesus, man. Take a deep breath.
