Colorado is excited about playing Nebraska reguardless if they're 0-11 or we're going through a losing period. I mean, the Colorado players and fans seemed to "Mark Out" (Sorry, wrestling term), over their win keeping Nebraska from going to a bowl, In 2001, Colorado pinned a 62-36 win against Nebraska, and in 2002 my Wife and I were at the Nebraska Colorado game in Lincoln and the Buffs fans were in droves yelling 62-36!
Colorado vs Nebraska might not have the prestige that Oklahoma vs Nebraska had, but even if We don't consider Colorado a rival, they sure think that way about us.
