First off, I'm from Omaha, went to Creighton Prep and am a 3rd Generation Creighton Alum. I love Creighton Basketball, soccer, baseball.
It's totally absurd to not understand why I root for Husker football and despise all other Husker sports.
1. If you're born and raised in Nebraska, if you're not a Husker football fan you might as well be from outer space because I've never met a normal red-blooded heterosexual male (or female for that matter) Nebraskan who didn't
.
2. The basketball team is a complete joke, dodged Creighton for 40 years and didnt' start playing us until they built the Bob Devaney center with Football money (Devaney was a friggin Football coach). Other than football, Basketball and the rest of the NU sports, especially baseball, are supremely hated by me and all Creighton Alums... except maybe Track because we don't have track.
Very simply, Husker football is completely different from all other NU sports when it comes to Creighton alums from Nebraska.
Creighton has a huge population of out-of-state students and most were Husker FOOTBALL haters and they all had problems with the passion that Nebraskan-born-and-bred Creightonians had for the 'skers football (especially those from Iowa and Colorado, two of Nebraska football's bitches). Get over it already.
... one last thing, I'm also a Notre Dame football fan, which is VERY rare in Nebraska...
Go Jays!
