I went to the Ralphie Report also. I think instead of Runzas at the game they should sell Buffalo Burgers. A little revenge for last year would be nice. We’ll see who is making more progess Bo or Dan.

…between thinking it’s kinda silly and pathetic, and being honored they hold us in such high regard. You’ve got one guy over there, “nebraskasux”, who says “the NU game is still the sporting event of the year for me.” This is right before another Buffalo fan goes on about how we support the Huskers because there’s nothing to do here, while the Buffaloes would have more fans if there weren’t so many other sporting teams to go to. So…in a state where they have, “CSU, Air Force, the Denver Broncos, the Colorado Rockies, the Colorado Avalanche, DU Hockey, CC Hockey etc…”, we’re still the game of choice. So again, I’m kind of honored, but really…why us?

We’re jackasses for not following along what their old coach said? He claims Nebraska is a rival, and we’re supposed to follow along and treat Colorado as a rival? No. Frankly, at this point, we have no rival. And I’m not saying we’re “unrivaled”, I’m a fan but not a complete homer. We’re obviously not THAT good anymore. Just that with the loss of the yearly Oklahoma game, we don’t have a rival. It will take time, and not a coach’s declaration, to develop a new one. Will that be Colorado? Will that be Missouri? Who knows? But we don’t want to beat Colorado because they’re Colorado, we want to beat them because they’re just another team in our way to getting back to the top of the conference. Apparently they can’t get past that.

Underneath it all, I think that’s what’s worst for them. The opposite of love is indifference. We just don’t care enough about them to hate them, which just makes them hate us even more. Don’t hate us, hate CSU.

As for the other point to this post, the classlessness of their fans, I will eventually go to every Big XII stadium to watch a game, except Colorado. They really aren’t worth the hassle. And no, not EVERY fan is a classless loser looking at jail time. I’m sure the majority aren’t. I actually met a Colorado fan, she’s decent, she lives in Boston. But there is a high enough percentage of them to ruin it for the good ones. 84 out of…what…50 thousand may seem small. But compare that to other Big XII schools (I’d like someone to research that, if possible). I would doubt Nebraska had 84 ejections for the year.

I think it is a rivalry. As a Nebraska fan I love to beat the Buffs and I can see they love to beat us. If not Colorado who is our rival??? OU vs Nebraska has lost a lot because we don’t play each other every year. Missouri is always a tough game but I don’t dislike them as much as CU. So here is to the rivalry, I can’t wait to get to Lincoln and cheer loud. As for the classlessness of CU fans, I don’t think it is fair to judge based on the actions of a few I am sure we have our classless fans also.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a CU alum.

I graduated several years ago, back when CU had a halfway decent team. Now, I’m to the point where I truly root against them. CU has just degenerated to the point that it’s just a joke. It has turned into a haven of rich, self-righteous, liberal weenies – who think they are so elite that the rules don’t apply to them. I mean getting drunk and riled up for a game is understandable, hell it’s college – but throwing sh*t (and throwing sh*t that can do damage) is flat out pathetic.

And I was also there when the "riots" went on. Talk about pathetic and embarrassing. Again, I like binge drinking with the fellas as much as the next guy but come on. On that note, going to the bars in Boulder is another joke. You’ll get some pretty boy bumping into you, talking sh*t at nearly every bar you enter. Now I lived in a small farm town when I was a kid, and you didn’t talk sh*t to anyone unless you were ready to throw down. These sissies out here will talk it up, but fully expect nothing to happen. A buddy from Lincoln came out to Boulder a few times, and couldn’t believe it. You can’t just go out with your buddies for a few beers without some skinny douche trying to start something with you.

I digress – I’ll move to the football team and administration. They walk around campus like such hot shots (someone should mention to them they are 20-30 since 2005). Hawkins is mediocre at best (the coach and the kid). The scandals are embarrassing. Man, it’s just one thing after another.

One nice thing is that I’ve made a ton betting against them over the past 3 years (13-22 ATS).

I would like a reason to root for my alma mater, really I would, but I tired of trying to find one. I’d love to see a yearly, competitive CU-Nebraska rivalry game that actually had some Big 12 implications. Instead, as some Nebraska player put it, CU has indeed become irrelevant.

Boulder would be a great place to live, if it weren’t for the people. When I asked an old professor I recently ran into what he thinks about the people of Boulder – he said "I mega lothe them" (and yes, he took the quote from Dr. Cox). Mind you, there are a few (emphasis on "a few") great people in that beautiful town – but it is primarily comprised of holier-that-thou, smelly hippies, socialists that think Obama is the second coming, and bratty, rich, "my new haircut" college kids that think they can get away with anything. Of course, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Now, I’m a conservative with a very humble upbringing (i.e. no trust fund) – which would beg the question "why the hell did you go to CU?" Well, cheap tuition and some damn good academic programs (for my field anyway). Also, I had no idea going in that Boulder was its own planet – and I had no real political leanings at the time, but quickly learned I had landed right in the middle of red square.

I did choose this platform to vent for selfish reasons and I figure I probably won’t get flamed here :) Although if there are any CU fans that post on this that want to bash my kind (you know, the evil conservatives) – fire away.

And yes, I did wander off into politics on a football forum – I guess that’s why they call it a rant.

Awwwww, hey buddy, don’t be jealous just because we all walk out our front doors and get to see the beautiful Flatiron Mountains, and head to our great paying jobs in one of the most amazing towns in the U.S……and you walk out the front door of your single wide trailer to stare into miles and miles of cornfields, and have to head to the U pump it, to pump our gas. At the end of the day, football or no football…you still have to live in Nebraska. I’m sorry.
