I don’t remember or know of all the 11 to 1 votes that get mentioned on this board frequently. I do know of one and it was a vote taken on having a Conference Championship game. That one looks rather foolish doesn’t it? Just maybe Nebraska isn’t always as smart as they think they are. I’m pretty sure what you think of my opinion because it tends to be the contrarian one. I wonder what our conference brothers and sisters thought if this 11 to 1 thing happened as much is claimed. Sometimes you strive for the greater good of a community rather than just personal interests.
I think the big one that went against us was about prop 48 and partial qualifiers.
Or maybe your interests are out of line.Well when all the original members of the Big 8 side with the new guy (Texas) and their demands/threats…maybe you feel left on an island. Just a thought.
Maybe there was a title 9 one?
This isn’t about what OU and Texas are doing. I just hear about these 11 to 1 votes that drove us from the conference and questioned the validity of it or has it just morphed into something bigger over the years. If the conference hadn’t been so dysfunctional 10 years ago who knows what it could’ve been. That 11 to 1 conference championship vote looks rather short sighted now doesn’t. itIs that why OU and Texas are leaving, for the greater good of the community?
Not sure why you're harping on one vote from 27 years ago
Because a poster brought it up in this post and it’s brought up quite frequently. So how often did it happen? Not that big a deal but it appears we tend to prop ourselves up as the outsider in the last two conferences we’ve been in then wonder why we get called on it. If you are constantly the lone dissenter on issues as claimed don’t you think we might not be viewed favorably and might not always be right?
