CU vs NU

CU fans are arguably the worst in CFB. What other program can 'boast' of having an entire section of their stadium physically removed from the game? (NU vs CU, 2006)
That's one of the reasons why we're spending the CU weekend in Las Vegas instead of Boulder. We'll be watching the game from the safety of a sports bar.

Hopefully the CU fans will be more...….mellow lol. After they had decades of sometimes, severe beatings at the hand of the Big Red, one gets a lil out of sorts. The stories are many from fans that ventured to Colorado and were abused. Some stories true and yes some exaggerated to liven the Red Horde. It's always good to see those from the old Big Eight. Kansas, KSU, ISU and of course OU and Colorado.
I recall being at the old Orange Bowl watching the OU rematch in Miami. The TV timeouts were long and the OU and NU fans amused themselves with cheers that one would not hear on national TV for fear of fines from the power that be. OU would chant something vile across the stadium and the NU cheerleaders would have a response on large cardboard signs with their own.....ummm…… interesting chants. It was a real hoot. It was a great time even if the game was like kissing your sister. That is a rematch of inconsequential importance.
Hopefully the blue smoke drifting from the CU student section will ahhh…….dampen the spirit of the event from their prospective. Yeah right...…. That ain't gunna happen. This is what college football is all about. Grudges and memories of unwanted defeats. Loved it when NU, CU and OU were rated one, two and three in the poles. The SEC has had those years lately when several were rated in the top of the heap. Maybe we see that in the BIG real soon.
So far Colorado has been that distant step-child of the Blur-smoke conference.. Oregon Stanford, USC seem to be the big dogs in the family. CU with a new coach wants to be relevant again. Anywhere.... sound familiar. So I can understand their craving for a little success, and beating another up and comer with a common history is that springboard for both. Will NU be undefeated when the Buckeyes call? Will CU have a notch on their six gun before they see their conference. It's truly a great setup for both. I believe with the history of the past few decades this is a real rivalry now. Even if it's just now and then.

It often amazes me how childish fans can be while simultaneously demanding maturity from the 18-20 year old players they are cheering for....or against.
I had the pleasure (and sometimes displeasure) of watching some kids games this summer. If only some of the parents and grandparents in the stands would show some of the maturity the adolescents showed, the games would have been much more entertaining.........and a much better learning experience for the young players involved.
Sean Keller is right though. CU needs to show well against us if they don't want us robbing their home state players, and if they want to pluck some out of BIG country as well.

My brother and I were discussing this game and think its an excellent opportunity to do a road game with the Huskers. No loss here in my eight ball.
We are going to Boulder. Haven't been to a game there. Thought we would get tickets but did not so will try to scalp a couple there. If not we will watch on tv somewhere, wearing our red like we would have done here in Savannah. Looking forward to a momentum building Husker win. Denver paper says CU coach needs a win vs NU to reinstate recruiting standing. The opposite is also true a loss to the Huskers would elevate the status of the program Frost is building
Watched a U-tube simulation of the game yesterday. NU won 31-24, after giving up a 17-3 lead at halftime. I think NU will score at least 42 points, and the Buffoons could score more than 24.
I think your 8 ball is understating this one, I foresee an beatdown in boulder . NU B1G
I found this earlier today and watched it as a real game.
The Blackshirts came to play but the OL stunk.
