Forget Texas and the Big 12. Forget TV contracts and backroom deals and conspiracies.
Blow the dust off your history books to a cleaner time. Embrace Nebraska and Oklahoma for the last time.
Remember Tom and Barry, Billy Sims and Mike Rozier, the Selmon brothers and Johnny the Jet. Remember the Game of the Century and Sooner Magic.
Let the nostalgia ooze. Nebraska and Oklahoma put the Big Eight Conference on the map. Saturday night, they'll take the Big 12 off of it.
