The reason I hate Creighton

[ajb5856]

Their fans.

I know this will get ripped apart and taken for whining, which it is, but I want to hear of others who have had similar experiences so I can put a stamp on what I already know.

Their fans are A+ douchebags. Every single one of them. That's what I assume because I've not been proven otherwise. You know, guilty until proven innocent.

I've been to that horrible arena dozens of times and each and every time I've been planted in a spot right next to or in front of or behind complete A-holes. Just cheer for your team, you know, be a good fan. I know I will get that there are bad fans in every fanbase. Yes, there are. But Creighton must have the highest percentage of bad fans of any fanbase.

It took everything in my power last night to not turn around and deck someone. Isn't winning the game enough? Or how about winning every year for the last several? Is that good enough? I guess not.

Somebody reply and report that they sat next to somebody nice.

[Norm Peterson]

Now c'mon. They're not all A+ douche bags. I'd put the number no higher than 73%.

[HuskerFever]

You've pretty much said it all, ajb5856. I can give Creighton credit where credit is due. They want to call this a rivalry, well, they're certainly stepping up to the plate and consistently walking the walk. But it's 100% the fans. And it's because they have this Napoleon complex of trying to not be perceived as a second-tier squad. To be fair, there are a couple good blue birds on this board, but it's rare to find some respectable ones on the streets.

 

I would rather go back to the 2012 Big Ten championship game and sit there amongst the horrible Wisconsin fans rather than deal with Creighton's fans any day. (Well, at least 90% of the Bluejays will get this analogy).

[colhusker]

Never been to a game there, never will be, won't give them my money.  That said, I have a really hard time believing they can be worse than Missouri fans.

 

Now please don't take this as defending blueturd fans, it's not that at all.

Was it last year or a couple years ago where Miles basically said 'it's just another game on the schedule' or something like that? It's basically coach speak, something any coach has to say even though we all know this game has much more to it, but their fans get all butt hurt about it, feeling all disrespected and such. And it's just what you said about Creighton fans trying to not be perceived as that second tier team. They are worried about that for some reason (even though they beat us every year) and it's why their game against Nebraska is their super bowl every year. In reality, even though the game obviously means something more, it's just what Miles said, it's just another game. And it's an L in the loss column for Nebraska. On to the next one. The Rhode Island game is now even more important than last night's.

[hal9000]

I thought that was more Doc who kind of downplayed the importance of the game.  I can't say I remember Miles downplaying the game/rivalry, then again I don't remember necessarily him up-playing it either.

Part of the little brother complex.  Lord knows right now the little brother has the upper hand.

[PimpMario]

I have been to many Creighton games and their fans ensure that every time we get our butt kicked I get angry on the outside, on the inside I am just embarrassed.

Wanna know why we have the complex? Years of your program dodging ours, years of some of your less desirable fans attributing all our success to us being members of a mid major conference, and a local media culture that ultimately exists to serve UNL athletics. Case in point - OWH writer Sam McWhatever openly cheering on twitter last night against the team his paper covers

 

These are not all necessarily my personal thoughts - but from what I've gleaned these are the major gripes CU fans don't/ haven't let go of

If you've never looked up 'inferiority complex' in the dictionary, you'll no longer need to.

Douche bag is such...an...accurate phrase.

If you've never looked up 'inferiority complex' in the dictionary, you'll no longer need to.

 

Again, these are not all my personal thoughts. Some of them have validity. It's a complex created by years of sour treatment between the fanbases - both sides are the guilty parties

 

"Your program sucks, win a game in the tournament"

 

"your program sucks, you only win the MVC every year"

 

"recruit a player besides your coaches son to make you successful"

 

"learn how to play offense and recruit a big man"

 

And so it goes every year, the message boards acknowledge and encourage the animosity and spout all this crap toward one another (and its not even like this activity is centered around the annual game). BJU certainly is guilty of it. Don't know why it can't just be a fun game that gets young athletes in our state interested in basketball

[AuroranHusker]

"You only win the MVC every year" -- if only that were even true bleujay. C'mon now, that's some BS. CU might have been top 4 'every year' in the Mo Valley (for the most part, I presume) but they certainly didn't 'win' em all. Not even close, I'd imagine... So, get bent elsewhere.

 

As CU is finding out, the 10+ wins a year in the MVC don't mean diddly in a more difficult league. Now, Wisconsin finishing top 4 every year in the B1G for the past 14 years, now that's an accomplishment worth touting.

 

For the most part, I don't deal with a lot of the d-bags that ajb/pimpm has/have, apparently, and I'm in the Omaha metro. I've run into a few outside of the arena context, though; perhaps it is the booze that brings out the BS there. I don't know, and I don't particularly care. D-bags are likely d-bags, though, no matter where they live/work/breathe.

 

Beating CU isn't a great accomplishment, but make no mistake CU fan: that's not a slight, not in the least. As CU is learning playing in a revamped BE, the bottom line is performance in a big boy league. Nebraska's reality is playing in a league with Indiana, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State, et al. Teams that have won titles or at least were multiple Final Four teams; perception is reality, big boy teams garner attention because they're typically really, really good so winning against the blueblood-types has way more value (as it was with KU in the Big 12). I think therein lies an element to the butt-hurt that CU fan has with NU.

 

As the saying goes: it is what it is. I'm not going to lose sleep over losing a non-conf game to CU. Sure, I'd like NU to win, of course; but, it's not a 'big deal' either way. Winning the game doesn't usually mean anything particularly special, and losing also doesn't prove anything. Win in your league & it all takes care of itself, IMHO, with post-season aspirations on the line on a nightly basis (see 2013-14).

So, this feeling of entitlement that you get to come here and tell us what shit fans we are for not loving and respecting Creighton basketball is on you and the need to give yourself a complex by reading and interacting on a board about HUSKER BASKETBALL.  I'd suggest you figure it out quickly and/or try and find sites on the internet that cater to your interest.

What ruined for me was 1). The year they had the kid who couldn't read and came to Lincoln and a couple of their fans wanted to fight me during the game because I was cheering for my team on my home court. 2). Being told as he left to fire up my tractor by some young fan the last time we beat them. Then being flipped off when I told him have a safe trip home. 3) when a lemo yes lemo full of drunk middle aged fans where yelling, yeah this is just like Wisconsin last week. My 16 son yelled back at least we have football. Two of them said bet you wouldn't say that to my face. He quickly hard myself 3 sons and two other Huskers step,up pretty quickly. I told them maybe they just need to open another beer and go home. They backed off pretty fast. 4) and to prove it isn't just men at the San Antonio NCAA games. A women was high fiving all the Iowa State fans as they walked by. My son went to give her a high five and she yelled at him I don't touch fucking looser Husker fans.

So yeah I really do not care for their fan base. But you know I am over it. Just want us to win. And then I'll just not say a word, will smile a lot though.

I think some of it is the Omaha vs Lincoln vs the rest of the state thing that goes on.

sorry, send me a pm if you ever feel Im crossing the line but I thought this was the time of year to talk about this stuff. Your fans are certainly doing so atm. Was only trying to contribute outside perspective.

I don't care about Creighton enough to hate them.

I listened until the Omaha comment. CU isn't even OMAHA's team, although they'd like to believe that. Husker athletics are far more the 'team of Nebaska' as many who moved to Omaha are from smaller communities of Nebraska! GBR

I don't care about Creighton enough to hate them.

 

I agree. I'll add, though, who's worth hating? ................................... No one, really.

Christian Laettner was worth hating.

 

K-State is worth hating (really, only because of where I live).

 

Notre Dame is worth hating.

 

Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees...both entirely hate-worthy.

 

Iowa might be getting there.

 

But not Creighton.

Nope, this is sports. Not worth it in my mind, at least.
