Why I am a fan:
|
Loved the Big Red's passion since I was 10. I remember being a young kid asking my dad who he liked and he said Nebraska. Ever since, I've strived to be the biggest Cornhuskers fan in the state of Illinois. For some reason, I'm just absolutely in love with the Big Red. The dominance, the passion, the consistency, the way football was meant to be!

Favorite Moments:

Huskers dominance in the 80s and 90s, watching the annual Game of the Century vs. Oklahoma all throughout the 80s and 90s, attending the '96 Baylor game and the '07 USC game, watching all the bowl games since I was about 10....

| Chicago Cubs | |
| Why I Hate Them: | They think they're so good. There fans think everyone loves them, yet they suck. They haven't won in 100 years. Wrigley Field is a DUMP, the most overrated stadium in the history of baseball. Did I mention they are snobs? They annoy the crap out of me. |
| Players I Hate: | All of Them, especially Mark Grace, Ryno, Zambrano, Kerry Wood, Soto, all of them! |

| Players I Hate: | Pretty much all of them. |
| Indiana Hoosiers | |
| Why I Hate Them: | These snobs think they are the greatest program in the history of the world and it is simply not true. They have sucked since the early 90's. They blow. They snort poop juice through their nostrils. |
