I've Had Enough Creighton

Let me start off by saying Nebraska is not a good basketball team, I know that, and all the Nebraska fans know that. I am not here to brag or boast or whine about anything, but I heard a caller on the Matt Perault show on Big Sports 590 AM that demands an answer. This guy said he was a huge Jays fan, and if Creighton had a football he would definately root for them, but since there is no Creighton football team he cheers for Nebraska. He claimed that if Creighton would have kept their football team they would be like Boston College. This is simply not acceptable. He is stupid on some many levels the only way I can counter it is with a list.

-There is a big difference between Creighton and Boston College. For one, BC had good football teams pre-WWII, including a 1940 Sugar Bowl berth. Creighton's biggest rival was Tulsa. This was before CU decided to go generic with their nickname, back then they were the Hilltoppers. Just like the Yankees, except easier to hate.

-CU's team folded in 1942 and even though the players who returned from the war were willing to play without scholarships, the school still declined to field a team. Nice college guys!!!

-You DO have a football team Creighton!!! You have you're homecoming at a soccer game. It's absolutely perfect for your school. Boring, dangerous (for fans) and none of the guys ever score. On a sidenote how do you have a school where every guy pops his collar? Shouldn't that be illegal?

-Most importantly, you cannot cheer for the University of Nebraska in one sport and then cheer against them in another sport. You are the type of people who, in WWI, would cheer for the US Army, but since you really like U-Boats, and the US didn't have any, would cheer for the German navy. Cheer for the Huskers and be loyal to the State school or don't cheer for them at all. We are not intersted in having someone who hates Nebraska basketball be a fan of our football team.

-I would really like to see if you Creighton fans were going to Aksarban or the Civic or whatever crappy barn you used to play in when NU was going to dance every year? Where you really that big of a Creighton fan when Tony Baroni was running the show?

-How does that 1905 Asskicking taste Creighton? NU 128 CU 0!!!!! (In real football)

Recently Creighton offered a tour of downtown Omaha in it's new science wing.
