ESPY Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 OWH article 105 years in a row. That's how long the Nebraska v Kansas rivalry has lasted, and this Saturday it all comes to an end. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 “We’ll certainly miss the yearly game,” Osborne said. “The length of the series is notable. There is some nostalgia (involved). But most everything eventually does come to an end.” TO pretty much hits the nail on the head it with this. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Not sure who that is in the article picture with the article, but it's a great photo. Is it Jeff Kinney maybe? What does the "100" on the hat mean? Quote Link to comment
The Snork Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 We had a rivalry with KU? When was someone gonna tell us? Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 We had a rivalry with KU? When was someone gonna tell us? What else would you call playing 105 years straight? no matter how you look at it, the schools have a long history that is coming to a close. To most people yes, they probably think KU-NU is a rivalry. Quote Link to comment

What does the "100" on the hat mean? The year in the photo says 1969...that would've been 100 years of the Univ. of Nebraska, founded in 1869. Quote Link to comment

To most people yes, they probably think KU-NU is a rivalry. Is Baylor Texas's rival? No. It's a series. They're no more our rival in football than we are their rival in basketball. 1 Quote Link to comment
ghumby Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I consider it a rivalry. My wife is a KU alum and it is a big deal there, football AND basketball. Quote Link to comment
Cina Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I kind of agree, not a rivalry but definitely a series I'm going to miss. I don't think there's many hard feelings towards Kansas (although I could live without the "rock chalk jayhawk" chant). It really is the end of an era though, and definitely makes me nostalgic.

From what I've heard that was an NCAA wide promotion for their centennial anniversary. A lot of schools wore that decal in 1969, not just NU. Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Nebraska-Kansas is not a rivalry. Come on folks. Its a nice long series that unfortunately has to come to an end. Oh well. But not a rivalry. Please. Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 It's not a rivalry when the other team is the doormat. Sort of like CU claiming us as a rivalry when the head2head record is nowhere near close to each other. Quote Link to comment

huKSer Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 It was a nice symbiotic relationship. Huskers care about football and Jayhawks obliged by rolling over and playing dead. Roles reversed for basketball. 2 Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I will miss it, as it is what Nebraska is about supposedly, history and tradition. This is the 2nd longest rivalry in college football I believe. Sad in a way to see it end, as we have lost some other important streaks over the last few years. But it is time to move on and establish rivalries that our grandchildren will respect. Kansas fans have always been great people, accepted their roll in college football. As we have accepted ours in their sport of basketball. My hope is that Turner brings them to a National competitor level. And that we end up playing in a regular 5-10 year basis. Goodbye to our Jay Hawk friends, so close but so fary away. Quote Link to comment
