Lol I certainly would not. Just like I don't wear a Creighton shirt and a Nebraska hat at the same time. Was mainly just saying they both have my support. I know that makes some upset, especially when it comes to football, but it is what it is. Always found it fascinating that a team would not welcome that support. Plenty of Jays fans are Iowa football fans. I would have assumed that's worse, but I guess I'm wrong there.

Long time listener, first time caller. As a Jays alum growing up in Nebraska, I promise I come in peace. I support both schools in all sports unless it's that one day where they meet. Certainly doesn't work out well for me during VB season! Couple of good points made here... - Believe me when I say the sweater vest wine and cheese crowd bothers most CU fans as well. As a resident of the upper deck often in sweatpants and a hoodie, the lower bowl can really suck the life out of the crowd. But their financial support over the years likely has a say as to where the Jays are as a program, so I guess we tolerate it. - Does CU circle this game every year? Yes and no. I'd say this year the Husker game is probably the 4th most anticipated home game. 1A and 1B are KU and UConn. I'd say Marquette is always pretty heated and exciting, and then Nebraska. Certianly gets fans in the seats, but I don't think we'll be making any "Beat Nebraska" buttons...maybe - For this game, it is interesting defensively. Nebraska loves to double and trap, which can often leave shooters open. St. Marys took advantage and if you look at last year, Scheierman took 19 threes, which is insane. I imagine they double Kalk and continue to trap baseline. It's a matter of if that will cause CU to panic or find the open man and make shots. - Jays defensively always funnel everything to Kalk down low. They force you to drive off of the 3 and take a tough 2. Huskers haven't exactly lit it up from 3 and the Jays 3-pt defense this year has been subpar, so that's something to watch. If Nebraska can hit a few 3s and some tough 2s in the paint, watch out. - Kalk often gets labeled as soft, but truth is he is just told not to foul and use his length to alter shots because when he comes out, the Jays are in trouble. Sometimes that works, and sometimes Derrick Walker torches him. Curious if Nebraska has a guy that will take on that challenge this year. Overall, it should be fun to watch. I'm thinking 78-71 but I could see either team coming out on top. Should be fun!
