Being born and raised in metro Denver, attending high school in Denver, attending two years of college in Colorado, and being a CU fan growing up as a child, I wish that I could say that I will be rooting for CU this week. However, after the laser pointer "incident" last week vs. OSU and Zac Robinson (a former grad of the same high school I attended), I have had enough with hot-headed, pompous, daddy's trust fund spoiled, classless CU fans and students. I hate to say it, but I will be rooting for the Huskers.
With family that lives in Lincoln, and previous trips to Lincoln to play the Huskers baseball team during my college days not too long ago, I would have to say that Huskers fans, along with just about any other school in the Big 12 aside from CU, are the most passionate sports fans in the nation. My days of playing college baseball led me to schools like Nebraska, Texas A&M, Kansas, OU, OSU and other midwestern schools--All of which had one thing in common that CU fans don't: Pride and passion for their Universities sports teams.
The majority of CU fans go to the game as a social event, the outcome of the game could mean less...especially to the students! What really pushes me over the edge is the students, alumni, and student-athlete's lack of respect for their competition, whether win or lose. The majority of the students have the mentality that they are the most superior student body of all schools in the state, and the nation for that matter. They continually fail to realize that the one and only state school that are eligible to carry that mentality are the ladies and gents south on I-25 at the Air Force Academy. And after meeting Academy grads, they wouldn't even come close to having this type of mentality.
I wish I could speak out to the masses and show everyone that Colorado is one of the most beautiful, great places to live in the nation, because it is. But for those of you who have only visited Boulder and no where else, realize that Boulder and the majority of its citizens are a different breed from the rest of the state, and it is reflected at CU sporting events.
If any CU fans read this board, I don't want to hear it. I think that the majority speaks when they say you are classless, its a fact!
I am reluctant to say this, but oh well.......GO HSUKERS!
