[edit] Rivalries
"Nebraska never considered Colorado much of a rival until 2001, when Nebraska came to Folsom Field undefeated and left at the short end of a nationally televised 62-36 pasting. "
Seems a bit original researchish, as some would contend NE still doesn't consider CO a rival as it does Oklahoma. Cliveklg 21:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone is trying to say that Colorado is anywhere near the rivalry as NU-OU. But Colorado is a rivalry and a new one at that. I think the article is quite fair in dealing with this and states it quite accurately. I could cite the first part on how they became a rival, but I didn't think it needed it since it's a fact that Nebraska is a rival of Colorado -- and how is fairly known. If you want a cite on the second half I would be at a loss, but still think it's quite generally known that Nebraska didn't really consider Colorado a rival until then. See Nebraska Cornhuskers football for (more) proof that Colorado is a rival. --MECU≈talk 13:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I really disagree. As a big-time Husker fan, not only do I not consider Colorado a rival (other than the fact that we play them the week of Thanksgiving), but noone up here could really care less. This week CU vs. Nebraska was not the buzz at school, aside from the one comment from Coach Dan Hawkins. Games that got people excited were NU vs. USC (though I doubt that will ever develop into a rivalry) NU vs. Texas (there's a team we love to hate... stealing the spotlight... ugh) and NU vs. K-State (Not just because of Josh Freeman).
Heck, even NU vs. CU (Creighton University) in basketball garnered more attention then NU vs. Colorado. I'm not gonna lie, I don't like the Buffs. But that is more based on bad personal encounters with fans in Boulder than it is based on football. If you think we are your rival, go ahead and put it on your wiki page, but I'll do everything in my power to keep the Buffs off the Cornhusker rival list.
