58. 31-14 OU vs. Neb. 10/28/2000 OU beats #1 ranked Neb. on their way to the National Championship
59. Anytime in the 70s when OU beat Neb.


Note - These are not reasons why Texas is better than Nebraska, simply reasons why Nebraska sucks.

Well.. I see it differently. While Texas has some thing, Nebraska has others.

While Texas has culture, people, great cities, things to do, Nebraska has... corn.

I’m sure I’ll think of more. However before you start dogging on a place you’ve never even LIVED in, know your facts. I’m sure we could all agree that when you visit a state as a tourist you often don’t get the true feel of the state.

oooo, hootie's gettin a little defensive.

just for clarification, this entire thread is to benefit docetboy, who got a little out of control in the GC IM chat group last night and started talkin trash.

Although, 9(a) isn't tooo convincing. Arbor Day? Cmon. :) You can't expect us gas-guzzling, SUV driving, gun toting, no insurance-having, endangered species endangering Texans to be impressed by that :D

Kitso
KS 361 times i didn't intend to piss anyone off, cept docet

i'm sorry. . .did he marry someone from Texas?

Hootie Says: That's a low blow. No he didn't marry anyone from Texas but if you'd like I could hook you up with him. From what I can see you two would make a wonderful couple :rolleyes:

Re: Reasons why Texas is better than nebraska
 

I think you got your lists confused. Willie Nelson belongs on the "things to be embarrassed about" list.

Re: Re: Reasons why Texas is better than nebraska
 

OH.....ISHT.....LMAO!!!!

um, guess I cant say much...I am from TN.....:(

That's low. Sure, fight about which state is better but personal attacks are uncalled for.

WHOA!! That was SOOOO uncalled for! :eek:
