Colorado buffaloes use Nebraska symbol on new golf course

[jigs]

ERIE, Colo. — In an event where black and gold were the colors of the day, it was something painted red and white that signified "University of Colorado" more than anything.

At Saturday's dedication festivities for Colorado National Golf Club -- the new home for CU's golf teams -- parked on the side of the putting green was a range-ball picking vehicle colored red and white, with a Nebraska football helmet on the roof and an "N" emblazoned on the front.

Keep in mind that range-ball pickers are often the target of people hitting balls on the practice range, and what better target for a CU fan than a symbol of the NU football team, long a dreaded nemesis of the Buffs.

And guess whose idea it was to decorate this bull's-eye of sorts with Husker symbols? None other than CU football coach Dan Hawkins, who attended Saturday's function.

And so it went Saturday at Colorado National's official grand opening, attended by a who's who of CU athletics, past and present. Despite a cold, overcast morning, several hundred CU faithful turned out for dedication ceremonies complete with the singing of the school fight song

They think we've got a rivalry. However, I don't understand how there can be a rivalry when one team has won 80% of the games in the series.

because Nebraska is so easy to hate.

tonight, on Sports Nightly, your state wide husker puke fest radio, the guys were going off about hating Notre dame, USC, and Tim Tebow.....all because they are over done in the media, and live on past laurels... I found it funny, because they were so blind they did not realize they were describing the very thing I hate about NU.

although they did an interview later with the UNO AD, ( former Husker, name escapes me now) and it sounds like he wants to grow UNO into a bigger deal than the Huskers !!!

might get interesting! going to pop up to D I ball....imagine a NU and UNO bowl game!

Trev said there is a conference that needs a 12th team, and NOW is the time to act.... sounds like he wants to push it up and get into D1 as soon as possible.

you have tickets to see NU in the baseball tourney?

Sorry if your son was given some guff, 3-way, because most Husker fans will try to provide an example for Buff fans on how to treat others, because 99% of them sure as heck don't know how to act.

If you do a little research on the net, you'll find example after example of visiting fans being amazed at the great treatment they got at Memorial Stadium. You ought to look up the USC site after they came to Lincoln and kicked our butts, we were congratulating them and buying them drinks, picking up their meal tabs,etc.... Has that ever happened in Boulder?

What happens in boulder is that beer cups full of urine get tossed on you. "Fans" will scream obscenities that would make a lumberjack blush in front of your grandmother. Cars with Nebraska plates get vandalized in the parking lot (some folks around here take SD plates with them and do a switcheroo in the parking lot to protect their vehicles). And hey, wasn't that a moment of pride when you had to stop a game and clear out an entire section of a-holes on national TV? Now those are FANS!

This "rivalry" thing is rediculous. You just can't pull a name out of a hat and declare "This is our rival" like McCartney did. Rivalries happen, they're not manufactured. And rivalries are based on respect as well. You need to go to a Nebraska - Oklahoma game and see what a rivalry actually is. You'll see a lot of flak going back and forth, but there is still respect for the other guy because that other guy has whipped you more than once. Buff fans think that a rivalry means you hate somebody and take every opportunity to be the biggest a-hole that you can to them. In your defense, I guess it's hard to learn about rivalries and winning with class when your program is a perennial also-ran.

Thanks for the Neb civics lesson. As far as in my defense, all my kids went to CSU so I don't give a flying shyt about CU or NU it's what happened to my kid when he was stationed there that pi$$es me off. He's a good kid and an outstanding HS wrestler and baseball player. Didn't even play football and he had to put up with that shyt

The real problem is when you get outside of the Denver Metro area and Boulder the rest of the state could care les about CU. the reason being we actually have PROFESSIONAL sports in this state.
The football team has won the Superbowl
The hockey team has won the Stanley cup
The baseball team has played in the World Series.

Compared to that, College football doesn't even get me excited enuf to check the scores.

One last thought; to me at least, a RIVALRY is something for over the hill washed up wanna be atheletes to hang their hats on when they are to old or too sorry to compete anymore.

Good luck with yours.

BTW do a poll around the big 12 the other teams don't consider NU a rival they just flat don't like you.

how about htat....a TRUE perspective of Huskers... take that self proclaimed "greatest fans" crap and sit on it Sandy....I was ridiculed for wearing purple as I left your stadium when Callahan ran up the score on us. no classy fans that day.
