CU won a B12 title?? must’ve missed that one....I know they won the B12 north with Barnett a few times and like most B12 North teams (except K-State at the start and NU last December) got a ceremonial butt kicking from the B12 South winner....
last time CU was truly competitive on a national level was as a member of the Big 8 when they beat Notre Dame for a share of the title in ‘91 Orange Bowl with Bill McCartney as the coach- I was at the game...

You’d think Texas would want to get away from Oklahoma.
It was during the Chris Sims Suck era. Applewhite came in almost one that game.
Um.....Nebraska losing to Texas, 13-12, on a last second FG after the refs put one second back on the clock does not amount to a “butt kicking” by Texas. Texas was damn lucky to win that BigXII championship game last Dec.
Oh, well, maybe you were watching a different game.
