HUSKER 37
All-American
The respectable ones do.. :boxDo you think Auburn and Alabama respect each other?CU has no class....you have to be a classy team, with respect for your opponent to conduct a rivalry....CU is light years behind in this respect!
not a chance in hell....we don't need the thugs from Colorado or their classless fans!
The whole "rival thing" can be amusing.
I guess I didn't see much of it until I moved out here (ASU/UofA) ... sometimes entertaining.?
But growing up with my 1st Husker Memory primarily being the '71 season culminating with all the Hype of "The immovable Object vs. The Irresistible Force" Turkey Day match-up between unbeatens #1 and #2.
And actually have the game live up to the Hype.
Then..All those nail-biters against Switzer's "Sooner Magic" made me fear/hate them even more.
I even almost liked Brian Bozworth for some strange reason, but I didn't really like OU until they were taken away from us (On a yearly basis) Sorta like when my two older Brothers left home to go to college...We weren't best friends until the absence made our hearts grow fonder.
There appears to be some intriguing ingredients for a rivalry with Colorado ("Sal is Dead" chants by some of our fans..McCartney having the audacity to Circle us on a calendar...Hawkins theatrics with the "worst day as a Buff>Best day in Corn")...
Maybe I'm just too old or too far away from it all..
I've worked with CU alums and we've had the friendly banter..But it's still too hard for me to properly hate them..I was so proud of them for finishing that '71 season Third in the Nation behind Nebraska and Oklahoma.
