Priest Willis Recaps His Visit to UCLA and More

    Oregon.

    And it's not even close. They're worse than any other four bad PAC fanbases combined.

    They're the aggy of the PAC. Every conference has one team who's fans are completely delusional.

    A little off topic, but did you go to the Orange Bowl when we played Iowa?

    have you forgotten... Colorado's in the Pac-12 now...

    Probably partially in response to the weekly prison-rapings they've been getting in the PAC and partially out of gratitude to be here, they have wisely kept a very low profile since joining.

    They're making their first PAC visit to the Coliseum this year, so I guess we'll get a first-hand experience with them.

    Given the state of their program though, I will have to give any CU fan who makes the trip for the game some respect unless they act like a complete tool.

    What was your guys' beef with them in the B8/12 ?

    No-I couldn't go.

    I'm planning on going to Miami this year though!!! thumbsup

    Why- is Iowa the aggy of the BIG ?

    Actually, I really like and respect Husker fans..and anyone reading my post history knows that.

    When we played Minnesota last season, I was on their board, and there was a remark about not knowing what to expect from Husker fans..I basically told them that they were the best fans in CFB.

    That sounds like the L we all know and love.

    Nothing but love, peace and harmony- unless there's a delusional quacker around.lol

    Oh my...I hope some others who went to that game will chime in...they were the WORST fans USC has ever been exposed to up until that point...horrible.

    They shouted obscenities, taunting that their big farm boys would kill our soft, surfer fag players...throwing things, getting right in our faces prior to and during the first half - they were so arrogant and obnoxious....till Carson blew the doors off that game...then they all scattered like cockroaches. They couldn't even man up and take their medicine after all the talking they did!

    On the flight home, every one was talking about it...not one single person had a positive experience with those fans. I thought about Nebraska fans having to host those people.

    A few years ago, a Hawkeye fan came on the old site and asked what we thought about Iowa fans...lol, poor guy got blasted. Evidently, they at least had the decency to be ashamed of how they conducted themselves with the Trojan fans.

    You hit the nail on the head with the partial qualifiers... that, along with the rivalry with OU was squashed at the formation of the Big 12 which is a reason Nebraska never really felt like it fit in there. the B1G is a much stronger fit for us regionally, athletically and recruiting wise actually.

    Nebraska will still have a presence in Texas but will be hitting Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois pretty hard now and lessening their presence in Texas to a certain extent. They've already done pretty well in Ohio picking up Greg McMullen which was the nations 6th rated SDE last year. As well as two highly rated players in Courtney Love and Marcus McWilson. They snagged Westerkamp away from Notre Dame in Illinois last year as well. All in all, very good analysis of the Nebraska situation. Thanks for you input.

    I didn't realize you guys were making inroads into IL, Ohio and PA.

    That's good, especially when supplemented with a few guys from TX and CA.

    There's enough talent in those areas to get you playing for BIG championships, and then build from there.

    Oh wow.

    What a nightmare. What a bunch of jackasses.

    I remember hearing the same thing prior to the OU game. The heartland blue-collar tough guys were going to pound the soft west coast wine and cheese types into the ground. lol

    I even remember the same thing coming up in '01 when the Lakers went to Philly and closed out the 76ers to win the NBA title.

    All these Philly fans were talking about how soft the Lakers were- Hollywood glamour boys, etc and how the Sixers were so much tougher and more physical. Those idiots somehow managed to not realize that the biggest, most physical player in the NBA was on the Lakers back then, and 3 wins in Philly later, those jackasses were nowhere to be found.

    The only thing better than winning on the road is winning on the road when the other team's fans are a bunch of douchebags.

    Just wait for Colorado... They definitly have potential to be up there haha... We had a game in boulder where the entire student section was escorted out for throwing golf balls among other things at our sideline

    That's a border/range war thing between your two programs. Float U wants to be a part of the "Elite" and are always over here looking and begging for that validation. It ain't happenin'.

    Yeah Bo is from Ohio and has connections in Pennsylvania and Illinois so it's a natural recruiting ground for him.

    As for Colorado... they always wanted to be our rival, we never considered them one because we just flat out beat them more often than not except for a brief stint in the early 90s. That being said when a fanbase throws snowballs with batteries packed into them at children that cheer for the opposing team. They automatically get thrown on my bad list.

    That is beyond belief. What a bunch of shitheads. They'd move onto my most-hated list very fast with that nonsense.

    I have friends who went to CU and even they admit their fan base is terrible. Huge drunken asshole quotient in there... if they ever turn it around, they're going to be insufferable.

  • by the way... if you guys hate the SEC you should vote for Nebraska in the gamedayvote challenge! We're the only ones with a shot at beating Texas A&M for the commercial challenge. It's a silly thing but if you guys could pop in and vote for Nebraska and get your friends to as well that would be fantastic!

  • I went to CU when they made it to the Fiesta Bowl.... and I root for USC over the buffs. Respect and class are not attributes that are emphasized at Colorado in my experience.

  • Still say Cal fans are not only insufferably arrogant but from another, very unfriendly econ and social world. Wicked in Berkeley. Then the pink anti-military store right nearby: almost Zombie hostility.

    Have a boy at CU and have been to 2 CU home games. One against Kansas a few yrs ago was a screamer. Son sat in good SC sectionw/ us and cut loose twice a Q w/ the Go Buffs yell that annoyed a few around us. I kind of like the Buff fans as we share a love for the mountains and all; not anywhere near the ucla/cal anger management morons.

    I am not coming here to flame.

    First off I have never even remotely liked USC, but that doesn't mean that I don't respect the program and what it has accomplished.

    I am just curious why a recruits interest in Nebraska, a top 5 program in total wins, is being questioned. I know our "glory days" are a decade past now. Well right around 15 years since our last national title, and 10 years since our last title appearance (which I don't think we should have played in. There were more deserving teams that year.) But back to the topic, Nebraska is a football state, we don't have the beaches, amusement parks, and ladies like So Cal does, but one area we have an advantage is that our state eats, drinks, and sleeps husker football. It is ingrained in us at a young age and continues to grow as we do. The minute a recruit gets on campus he is a celebrity. Everyone knows his name, and most of us could rattle off their most recent game stats. In my opinion that is where interest stems from. Football players come to Nebraska for football, nothing else.

    If some of you could explain why a recruit shouldn't be interested in Nebraska, for discussion purposes only no flames please, I would appreciate it. I respect opinions and am curious about the national perspective of Nebraska. I won't down vote you for voicing your opinion as it is just that... Your opinion.

    Best of luck this year Trojans. (do you prefer to be called something else?)

    It's nothing personal. A lot of us grew up in the LA area and are use to the activities the city has to offer. The farming area lifestyle is just something most of us aren't familiar with. We say the same things about Eugene, Norman, South Bend, Tuscaloosa, et al.

    I travel a lot throughout the midwest on business and I get to Lincoln at least twice a year and Omaha at least three to four times a year. Most of those people who live there wouldn't trade their lifestyle for the LA lifestyle. That goes for most places I go to in Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota, etc. Just like they don't understand why anyone would want to live in the smog and crowds of LA, we don't understand why anyone would want to live in a state of cornfields and cow pastures. The people I talk to say there is no way they ever want to move out of the farming community of 10,000 people they grew up in.

    Sure, Lincoln has that area down by the old warehouse district in downtown that has new restaurants and bars and Omaha has the same with the old town area that was redeveloped into a trendy place with some nightlife, but those are only a couple blocks long, In LA, we have similar areas in Downtown LA, Old Town Pasadena, Universal City Walk, Westwood, Downtown Long Beach....and that doesn't include the OC with Downtown Disney, Huntington Beach, etc.

    Again, we have our lifestyle and we're use to it and we assume most of our SoCal players are as well. But then again, there will be an occasional Ralph Brown who just wants to play at Nebraska....

    Thing is...you can come from farming country in Southern California..with all the farms and ranches for miles, cities with a small, friendly population, and still 15 minutes from the beach...and you're still one hour from the Big City - Los Angeles!

  • I was there and agree Iowa fans are THE worst non-Pac fans I have experienced in many years of away and bowl games.

    A big drunken farmboy in black and yellow striped overalls got in my face before the game. I guess it was my #3 jersey. They were pissed Carson won the Heisman over their guy.

    They were the higher ranked team and truly thought they would win. The next day a bitter woman in the hotel lobby started going off on me about USC running up the score. Angry and ignorant. IMO they are the Big-10 low class. Nebraska was the best.

    Pac-12 worst...Oregon, based on my Autzen visit Halloween 2009...then Cal...then ucla.
