I really hate CU. I'm not really even sure why, but I would much sooner cheer for a Jayhawk than a Buffalo.

shauna--I'm curious, have you always felt this way, or do you think it has something to do with living amongst CU fans?

mllr--way to carry that banner high!

I liked and respected CU when I was going to K-State but since then have heard way too many sordid tales about their football team and coaches, rioting students, and just generally elitist wacko attitudes as exemplified by Ward Churchill. I don't have any animosity for CSU, though.

Maybe if Shauna had to hang out with Jayhawks she'd remember why we hate them :) But CU is definitely worth hating.

I think you have hit upon the root of many of the attitude problems we experience in the health care profession...KU. It is comforting to think that my alma mater has an agricultural mascot, although I am afraid that an extremely large share of the student body and faculty have no idea what a shock of wheat is.
