SoonerKeith

Hello Huskers, I am a lifelong Sooner fan that spent the majority of his youth looking forward to one Sturday in November when the reigning powers of the college football world met for all the marbles. I was crushed when the Big XII decided that the Oklahoma - Nebraska game didn't rate an annual meeting. As a kid, the Thanksgiving holiday wasn't complete without watching the battle of the Big Reds. Although times have changed, I always look forward to this game. I've been to every Big XII stadium, with the exception of Iowa State, as well as numerous out of conference stadiums, and I can say without any reservation that Nebraska fans are the single best fan base in the land. Well, with the exception of the Sooners, of course As with any program, you're bound to have your fair share of morons that spoil it for the rest, but I can say that I have never had anything but good encounters with Husker fans. I live in Colorado now, and it's funny the way that these people think that they have a rivalry with the Huskers. I try to tell them that the rivalry is somthing that they have come up with in their minds, and that NU has been a sleeping giant, that is awakening and soon will view CU as nothing more than a division II opponent, but they will have none of it. As for this year, we have fallen far from our expectations. I fullyexpect this Saturday to be a tough game that will probably not be decided until well into the fourth quarter. I know that the Huskers have struggles on offense, but from an outsider's perspective, this isn't the same program that once had Bill Calahan walking the sidelines. I for one would love to see the Nebraska program back to it's rightful seat at the power-house table. It's good for the Big XII, it's good for football, but's is mostly good for that one Saturday in November when I remember what it was like to feel that rivalry. And, if it's not too much to ask, can you wait one more week before you get your 6th win?
