LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Cornhuskers shouldn’t expect a fond farewell from fans when they go on the road this fall.
Century-old relationships will end when Nebraska leaves the Big 12 for the Big Ten in 2011. This season could mark the Huskers’ last visits to places like Kansas State and Iowa State for a while.
Folks in those old Big Eight haunts already are planning raucous sendoffs. Some say they are bitter that the Huskers are turning their backs on so much history to go to the Big Ten. Others are disappointed they won’t see Nebraska play every other year.
Fans say they’ll heckle the Huskers with their signs, chants and T-shirts.
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says he doesn’t anticipate any problems.
