I think one thing needs to be cleared up...............OU was our rival, I stress was!
To be even considered a rival you must play each other every year. I miss the day's of the Big 8 to, but really, it's time to let it go.
If you ask any other school involved in a big time rival, most all of them will say they are a rival for the exact same reason's most people on here say Colorado isn't our rival. Hatred, fans, border states...etc....
I have to laugh when people say it's just another game........Yea! Sure it is! It really makes me question how long you have been a Husker fan. You can't have this much hatred on both sides of the ball and call it "Just another game"
