Texas

As we approach Saturday evening and Nebraska's Big 12 championship game vs. Texas, this article summarizes all the heartbreaking losses to the horns over the past 15 years:

Even though most fans would hate me saying this, generally Nebraska has gotten its share of good breaks in games (many against Colorado including last year's 57-yard field goal winner, the final stop of Michigan at the crazy end of the 2005 Alamo Bowl, the 3rd and 10 conversation against Notre Dame in 2002, blocked FG against Pittsburgh in 2005 to preserve an ugly 7-6 win, and no one would ever forget the miracle against Missouri in 1997...) Against Texas though? It's all seemed to go their way. The 4th and 1 long pass in the 1996 Big 12 title game, the two fumbles inside the 5 in 1999, interception in the end zone when a FG would have tied in 2002, and the Terrance Nunn fumble right over the first down line which would have otherwise sealed the game in 2006. I was at the last 2. It was utterly amazing to see meltdown after meltdown.

So...I think we're due. Colt McCoy is going to throw 5 interceptions and Suh is going to return 2 of them for TDs and Nebraska is going to win Saturday :)
