Jyhawk Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have been a Kansas fan for most of my life. I have always rooted a bit for Nebraska, but it was never important to me. I made a deal with a friend who is a huge Nebraska fan that I will become a Nebraska football fan. As part of the agreement I registered here and intend to participate. I will not be here to tell everyone about KU or to try to make anyone here a Jayhawk fan. My first love is, and always will be, KU. However, since Nebraska left the Big 12 (something for which I never blamed you for doing) I can be both a Nebraska fan and a Kansas fan simultaneously. If Nebraska ever plays Kansas in football, I will root for Kansas, but that won't amount to much. It will probably only end up like it has for almost all of our histories anyway. I hope nobody here will resent the presence of a Kansas fan rooting for Nebraska, but I assure you that I am absolutely sincere in my intentions here. I have a lot to learn here and I am open to being educated. So, for the first and certainly not the last time let me say, GO HUSKERS! 8 Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome, I am sure most will welcome you to our site and out team. KU for me has always been my basketball school, but do not follow basketball very closely. Most on here are friendly and very very very knowledgeable about Nebraska. You can learn a lot here, no question. Quote Link to comment
TAKODA Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Welcome to the board and we can only hope that you are not here just to troll. The mods here are great as long as posters behave. Anyways, hope you enjoy what HB has to offer and don't be thin skinned if you happen to catch a few posters on a bad day! GBR! 2 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Welcome Jayhawk! Youll find most Husker faithful are quite accepting. How do the Blue and red look for 2014? Quote Link to comment
Jyhawk Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 I vow that I am not here to troll. Part of the reason I chose the s/n that I did was to be completely open and honest about why I am here. Not that the mods/admins would need it, but they have my permission to boot me if I ever become a troll. I can be opinionated, but that should not ever come out as anything anti-Nebraska. As part of introducing myself I want to say that one of my favorite NU memories was from the NC game when Tommy Frazier busted out of the gang of Florida tacklers to run for a long touchdown. It was especially awesome as I was standing among a lot of UF fans. Quote Link to comment
Jyhawk Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Welcome Jayhawk! Youll find most Husker faithful are quite accepting. How do the Blue and red look for 2014? In football? Probably not good at all. I don't really know what to expect, but 4-5 wins should be our high-end for expectations. I don't even want to talk about the low-end. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 There's a thin line between Davidson and Davison. Quote Link to comment
Jyhawk Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Even if I think he is a major major douche, it's TOMMIE I'm sure you have never misspelled anything in your life. Please forgive my sin. TOMMIE Frazier it is. Quote Link to comment
cg_8 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 You had me until you misspelled Tommie... HA! I assure you, we accept any and all willing to wear red. I don't think we have any true ill will against any Jayhawks. You guys were pretty much always harmless... Well, except when your guys' glory years, which were solid years. I have a similar situation with my dad. My dad is a HUGE UCLA fan. But we share season tickets for Nebraska, he wears red to every game (except last years UCLA game...). He actually has more Nebraska apparel than me, someone who is a HUGE Husker fan. Anyway, welcome! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Welcome aboard, Jyhawk. I think most Husker fans don't mind Jayhawk fans so much. Perhaps because KU has traditionally been a powerhouse in basketball, while Nebraska was mostly about football. But the Wildcat fans on the other hand, they're another story. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, you won't find me defending the purps. Neither will you catch me ever saying anything good about Missouri [vomit.] I saw a quote some time back attributed to Tom Osborne in which he said that Missouri always wanted to be Nebraska in football and Kansas in basketball, but they were neither. They were just Missouri. Thank you Tom. I couldn't have said it better myself. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Glad you are here! Can never have too many Husker fans! Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Kansas plays football? Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Cool dude - glad to have you here. Don't hesitate to ask questions as we like to educate people on how great and amazing our school is, but also ignore anyone giving you grief. This is a great and loose community here and we'll give you a harmless e-hazing. Don't feel the need to defend yourself, because we don't/won't care. GBR Quote Link to comment
