Maybe I shouldn’t comment like this on the Hate thread, but...
Firstly, I want to say that I want to play nubs on Black Friday every year. I enjoyed our successes and lived the heartaches against them since the 90s. I see them as our biggest rivals. I hope they become better just so when we whoop them every year, it tastes so much sweeter. I hope they value us as rivals as much as we do to them.
That said, I - for the first time - checked out one of their boards (Rivals). I went through the first couple of pages of their threads. Other than a few bad apples, that every team has, they seem generally rather level headed and respectful (especially comparing to CSU boards, which is the only other rival board I have visited). They had a thread largely complimenting Shenault. They had a thread praising CU’s good years that made us a more worthy rival than Iowa. And so on..
I think the vitriol thrown around this thread seems a bit manufactured, if only for a bunch of 35- yr olds who have nothing better to do than to remiss and bind closer around. I’d like to think we are just using this platform to vent, and not necessarily really have so much hate towards them..
Next years rematch will surely be fun, if only for the jibing that extreme fans will bring.
Then again, maybe its just because I haven’t met a nub fan in years...they don’t venture anywhere close to where I live.
