Frankly, I just don't buy this. I was there from about 3 pm to 1 am, and I heard maybe one or two things said to Nebraska fans that were over the line, and I also heard another UW fan tell that person to dial it down. Unless, of course, it was you being obnoxious and other fans responding to that. And I talked with a lot of Nebraska fans and every one of them was fun to talk to. There was some trash-talking, but that usually ended with the two people laughing and telling each other to enjoy the game. And after the game every UW fan I saw was so thrilled about the game they were far more interested in celebrating than abusing opposing fans. Yes. I just completely made this entire thing up. It was me and 3 friends walking back. We weren't even talking to each other. I would look down every time some Badger fans walked by after the 54th time someone yelled profanities at me. Just because you didn't witness it doesn't mean it didn't happen. What do I have to gain by making up some story? If you read my OP on the matter, I stated I actually rooted for UW prior to this game. If they would have beaten us by 100, I would have still been rooting for them to win every game here on out (except any potential rematch w/Neb), but being harassed by almost every passer by is amazing to me and made me have zero respect for UW. It was that bad IMO.

I guess I just expected more from Wisconsin fans. NU/UW have no real history in football. There should be no bad blood. Barry Alvarez is a former Husker and turned UW around. Like I said, Friday night, we met some pretty cool UW fans and shared drinks, laughs, and our mutual dislike of Iowa. Then after the game, I was just astounded at the anger towards us. It was like Nebraska just won by 40 points instead of the other way around. I wouldn't have even wrote the OP if it didn't seem like EVERY fan had something awful to say to us. Groups of 2 or groups of 20. Each group was just down right angry and let us hear it. Now, I'm not saying you won't hear similar stuff in Lincoln next year. The big difference is that it will be the exception to the rule, not coming from virtually every person you walk past. I will never go to a game in Madison again for that reason. I don't expect to be coddled and treated with kid gloves, but I don't expect to have every person you walk past treat you like garbage either. I also would have had nicer things to say if just 1 UW fan would have stood up for us and told the others to shut up, like you will see in Lincoln, or if perhaps, more than 1 person would have told us good game. I am really tired of hearing the Alvarez connection argument. Alvarez hasn't coached UW in more than a half-decade. This is Brett's team now and using your logic we should suck up to Iowa and the Hayden Fry tree now since we owe ALL our success to them now. What a bunch of crap, we're our own team. When Clemson played Auburn a few weeks back did you hear Auburn fans saying how Clemson owed them for Walter Riggs? Does UF owe Georgia Tech because of Spurrier's time in Atlanta? Like I said we're our own team. Arguments like these and that picture of our "trophy case" posted in here are just stupid. /endrant You totally misunderstood what I meant with Alvarez. I didn't mean it as you owe us anything. I tied it into the bad blood statement to show we have common bonds going back to Barry. I just don't get the anger that was directed towards us. We haven't "stolen" any National Championships from UW like Michigan and Penn State can use as the basis of their hatred. This will be my last post on the subject. The OP asked about my experience and I shared it. I am just disappointed in the fact I was thinking UW/NU could grow into the rivalry we had with Oklahoma. Mutual respect. I didn't feel like anyone in that town respected us as human beings, let alone as Husker fans. I appreciate you saying you wish I would have had a more positive experience as do I, and I hope you make the trip to Lincoln next year and see why I really feel we have the best fans in college football.

I'm sorry you did not enjoy your trip to Madison, that's too bad. We know it is the 1% who screw it up for all of us. I'm going to give it a couple of trips before I pass judgement on a fan base. I save the " Just like CU" for the real sCUm . 1%? It wasn't 1%. Like I said, it was well over half of the people treated us like we just got done molesting their children.

Here is my experience. Friday night we went down to State St for some bar hopping. Nothing unusual about the night. We had the usual idiots who told us to F'n leave and that Nebraska sucked, but we also had some very good conversation and found the majority of the people there to be friendly. We even shared a van back to our hotel with Wisconsin fans and laughed and had a good time...Then was post game... I am not kidding. I bet that 6 out of 10 people we passed on the walk back to our hotel were incredibly rude, classless, vulgar, and downright angry. I can't say most of what was told to us because I'd get banned, but some of the nicer things were, "Go f'n kill yourselves" or "I hope you die in a car crash on the way back to Nebraska". I think I heard Nebraska sucked about 100 times. Now, every fan base has classless jerks, but this was unbelievable. Young, old, didn't matter. 1 person. ONE, told us good game and that he can't wait to visit Lincoln next year and good luck the rest of the way. I have witnessed first hand when someone is saying similar things to a visitor in Lincoln and other Huskers jump in and tell that person to shut up, not join in like Wisconsin. I used to root for Wisconsin as an outsider because of what I thought they embodied was similar to Nebraska. No longer will I root for them. When 60% of the fans we encountered after the game treated us the way they did, I realized they are no different then Colorado, Missery, or K-State fans. I would hate to be a visitor from a team that has been a rival for 100 yrs with Wisconsin. Recap. Friday night was pleasant. Saturday night's post game experience offset that by an infinite amount. That is how bad it was.

His throwing motion makes me want to puke. It reminds me of watching a right handed junior high girl trying to throw left handed...

Let's hope everyone, or at least most of everyone, attending will be wearing red. I want us to stand out and show the B1G how well we travel! GBR!!! Explain to me how wearing Red to Wisconsin will stand out??

Hey Aggies...Remember the rape job the refs gave us in College Station? It may have benefited you last time, but I doubt you will be so lucky this year. In the words of the great Dave Chappelle, "Nighty night. Keep yo' b-hole tight!". Keep the lube handy, because the Big 12 refs will do everything possible to hose you this year. Good luck!

Or just plain old "In yo' face Dan Beebe"

GLAD TO BE IN THE B1G TEN CONFERENCE

This is pretty pathetic though man. Our HC is losing it. Everyone and their dog knows there is an offensive opening, especially when WE CAN SEE A JOB OPENING ONLINE! Yet he continues to say there are no openings. They need to get their poop in a group and get the stories straight before this turns into a circus...oh wait...too late...

Bo Pelini - "There are no offensive staff openings." Um, Bo...You might want to go online and see what the rest of the free world can see. Offensive Job Opening This is why people are starting to get sick of Bo's nonsense. Everyone knows the fricken sky is blue, but he's trying to tell us it's green. No it's not idiot...

*double post*

Don't see it in there, so it leads me to believe they deleted it for some reason. Not sure why. I didn't swear or anything in it.

Hopefully the mods don't delete this thread.

Drama, drama, drama... My link Bo wasn't there either, so that means he must have fired himself...

It's just a pet peeve of mine when people can't spell commonly used words. I mean when you misspell the word, it underlines it in red. Then, you can right click on it and it will give you a list of words to choose from to get the spelling correct. No such thing for the Grammar side though! lol.

Speaking of classy... Where does one find these leggings? This has to be some sort of photo shop right?? Or does their coach really look like the lead singer from Twisted Sister?

You mean, "If it were once." It makes your nitpicking look silly Grammar versus spelling a simple word. It's similar to the retards that can't spell lose or loss. They always spell it loose. It's not hard to spell words correctly, whereas I completely understand Grammatical errors. I can explain to you the word is wrong in 2 seconds, but it would take you 5 paragraphs to explain the past tense versus present tense blah blah blah on my "Was" instead of "Were" usage.

Don't mean to be overly sensitive to your spelling, or lack thereof, but there is no C in either offense or defense. If it was once, I could have let it go, but you did it 3 times. It makes your arguments look silly.

What is up with that salute? Looks like something you would do to General Elton John and the Fudgepacker Brigade...

Amen about the bitching. This year its "Big XII wants to screw us over so we don't leave a winner" next year it will be "Big 10 doesn't want us to win our first year" Blah blah blah people are always looking for excuses, but no one ever just says "We got outplayed" we have been over this before please Who the F you calling a troll? Better not be me just because I call it as I see it.

Got you in. Point taken regarding the SEC Teams in crummy conferences. I was going to load up the MAC or CUSA with them, to keep them all together. Not very realistic, but the best way to make a dynasty like this work.

IM me your email address and PS3 name. Once we are done, we will have a computer generated draft order and that's how the teams will be selected. After you pick, I'll send the invite.
