Earlier reports were that it would be November 23, same day as Huskers/Wisconsin football. Absolute bull if we agreed to move it to accommodate them yet again.

Them meaning the majority of fans ?

We have our fans. If true, should have kept it on same day. Would love to have seen a sellout during a Nebraska football game. Perfect-less than 500 Nebraska fans.

Wildly disagree with this statement. CU alums are largely not from Nebraska and most that I know harbor no cuddly feelings toward UNL.

Almost everyone of them either watch Husker football on TV or attend their games. I think most fans in attendance are from the Omaha metro area and never attended Creighton.

And I think most fans in attendance are Jays fans, not Husker fans. Guess we can agree to disagree. But the dozens of fans I know living in the Omaha metro area and attending games don't cheer for Nebraska in any sport, have some connection to the University (alums, parents of alums, family of alums, faculty, staff, etc.).

The idea of someone being from Omaha and not cheering for Nebraska in any sport is bizarre to me. Almost as bizarre as a few husker fans I know who are from Omaha and don’t support Creighton. Just as weird is another friend I have who wants Lincoln to get a hockey team despite the fact it would hurt our existing hockey team, UNO.

If a team represents where I’m from, from I root for them, just that simple.
