Well, you guys are a lot easier to hate, so I could see why it would last longer from our perspective. Also, with husker fans crawling all over our boards, who can really forget?
I met another husker fan out here the other day (one of two husker fans here that played TE at Air Force, oddly). It literally took him less than three minutes to tell me that husker fans are the greatest in College Football.
When I mentioned that we have a joke among CU fans regarding how long it takes a nebraska fan to tell us how great they are, and they don't understand how annoying that might sound when talking to a fan from another team, he got a little sullen. So I told him to cheer up...while three minutes was by no means a record, it was a hell of an effort. We don't speak anymore.
And while we're on the topic. I was watching the CU USC game on the bigscreen in the DFAC a few weeks ago and some Air Force doosh (who I didn't even know) comes in and says, "CU sucks"...while I'm watching the ****ing game! So I said, "Well, we have a new coaching staff, and we've had a ton of injuries, especially in our secondary. There are probably only four or five teams in the nation with enough depth to consistently win after the hits we've taken to our secondary".
The dude (Major, by the way, so junior to me) said, "those are just excuses." So I lost my ****. I had gotten up at four in the morning, on a Friday, to watch this game, and some dickface (UCLA grad, it turned out) is talking **** for no purpose other than to be an ass.
So I said, "I'm armed, so we're not going to fight here, but if we were in a bar I'd kick your ****ing ass into your ****ing skull. Now get the **** away from me before I reconsider." I was beyond pissed. Who heckles a fan when their team is losing, when they don't have a dog in the fight?
So I see this asshole everywhere now (it's a pretty small compound. I just stare him down and he gets out of my way. He tried saying, "Good morning, Sir" the other day but I told him to "**** off." I'm not backing down. **** him.
