I agree with OU being a big rival (I live in Oklahoma), but to be a really big rival i think you need to play every year like we do with Colorado. I just think that they are classless like when their drunk fans were throwing whisky bottles and everything on the field in Boulder in 05. Its very satisfying to watch us beat the crap out of them year in and year out. Also Dan Hawkins saying" Our worst days as a buffolo are better than the best days as a cornhusker." The guy is an idiot.
The same year our fans threw WATER bottles (not whiskey bottles, dude) your fans threw water bottles all over the field when you were losing to Oklahoma. And unless you missed it, we beat you 65-51 this year, and the series is tied 4-4 this decade, so unless your definition of "year in, year out" is "except for this decade," you're a little off. Of course, you used to beat the crap out of is year in year out, but that is the past. As in, the past you keep living in.
Congatulations! You guys beat the worst husker team to come through Lincoln in over 60 years!! That being said, Colorado is still sh#t!! As i said earlier, your proudest moments in football history are No.1- beating undefeated NEBRASKA in 2001 at folsom and No.2- winning a tainted national championship on FIVE downs! That to me sounds like tradition. no matter how much you dont want to think about it we will always be the measuring stick, and you guys will all come up short! Maybe we could take a page out of your recruiting tactics and try and salvage our class by offering them women to rape??? This aint intramurals brutha!!
If we beat you, we didn't come up short. The series is dead even this decade, so, again, if you're talking about the present and not the increasingly distant past, if we're sh#t, so are you. And considering that we played a boatload of freshmen and you guys we supposed to have "restored the order", I'm feeling pretty good about where CU is at. And really, our biggest win this year was against Oklahoma, and anytime you beat third-ranked Oklahoma starting two freshmen on the offensive line and another at qb, that's a good year.
And as for tainted national championships, are your national titles in 71-72 tainted by Johnny Rodgers holding up a gas station and Bob Devaney getting him out of jail? Are your titles in 94-95 tainted by Lawrence Phillips beating the crap out of his girlfriend in front of witnesses and only getting suspended from the spring game, or Christian Peter raping Miss Nebraska? Are you sure you want to go there? CU football isn't the only program that hasn't always been as clean as it should, to say the least. But please, be my guest, keep living in the past and imagining that any program that is passing you by must be cheating, or that its still 1983 and Turner Gill is pitching to Mike Rozier. I'm sure that will fix your program. Keep it up and we will have to start considering Kansas our big rival, and silly threads like this one will be superfluous.
), but you can't keep living in the past.... please move forward. I know some of you like to preserve our traditions, but in the process your preventing our program from developing NEW traditions (like rivalries with sCUm and Mizzou and black jersey's
)
