These are exhilarating times for the football programs at Oklahoma and Texas. While the schools patiently wait to be showered with millions in SEC TV money, the Sooners sit at No. 6 in the current AP rankings, top dogs in the Big 12 once more. At No. 22, Texas isn’t so much licking its wounds from that one-point loss to Alabama as it is quietly celebrating that the school is suddenly as wealthy in quarterback futures as it is in Permian Basin crude.
A word of warning to both, not so much for the 2022 season but beyond: Nebraska.
I’m sure the younger generation of fans of either the Sooners or Longhorns has no fear of suffering a Huskers-like collapse. They do not realize what Nebraska represented for so many years in college football.
