I've been a lurker on the board for a little more than a year....but finally making a post...Grew up in Lincoln, went to UNL and lived in Missouri the past 10 years (in KC and St. Joseph). I left Lincoln in 1998, which was really the beginning of the end...my first weekend living in KC was the NU-OSU squeaker at Arrowhead....then it was the A& M loss a few weeks later the string against KSU ended in Manhattan. They ended up losing 4 that year. At the end of the year, my ex said NU should feel real good, they did win EIGHT games and lost ONLY four. (Now you know why an ex!)
With NU's fall and MU's rise, it's been interesting living down here. Especially this year, when my MU friends are so high on their team, they think they could easily beat the Chiefs. That tells you what they think they'll do to NU this weekend.
Their confidence...and even arrogence...is pretty funny. Yeah, they might win, and they probably should, but geezzz, they haven't even won a conference title yet. These MU fans have a lot of growing up to do. I WILL be wearing my NU shirt to Rotary tomorrow, and I know I'll get fined, but it will be worth it. ; )
Ok, done with a little venting ; ) I'm coming up for the game this weekend (withOUT any of my MU friends) and going to have a good time. Hoping for a good game and totally behind Bo. Man a win would sure help me out down here though. hehe
Also, thinking about starting up an NU Alumni chapter here in St. Joseph. If anyone is interested, let me know!
