Do these so called jayskers also root for the creighton baseball team? Where does it start and stop?
Most Nebraskans rooted hard for Creighton in the College World Series, way back when Nebraska was an irrelevant program being coached by a do-nothing who thought he was entitled to the job for life.
Seems analogous, for some strange reason.
Me personally I follow Creighton soccer and basketball. If any of their other teams make the ncaas I'll follow but Nebraska is 1 and Creighton is 2. A Jaysker is someone who roots for both squads to do well. Keep it positive. This year kinda worked out great. Nebraska beat them in basketball and Creighton had a program best run. Will be great if they can both have tourney success in the future. Love UNO sports too. Root for whom you want or against. In the end it does not matter. If I hadn't grown up in Omaha and gone to their practices and camps during the Barone years maybe it would be easier to be all in with the Huskers. It doesn't feel as good to me when Creighton has success as it does with Nebraska but life is too short to not search out happiness. If rooting for every team in your state does that then have at it.
I root for Creighton the same way I used to pull for the (then) Kearney State Lopers and Nebraska Wesleyan when they went on postseason runs - even though I didn't go to either school.
But if other people don't like Creighton, so be it. I don't give two _hits who anyone else here roots for.
I also just happen to like Big East basketball, and probably watch it more than any other conference. It's a fun league to watch, and I like the fact there's still a basketball-first conference.
Good. Couldn't happen to a better school other than Iowa or Texas's.
Yeah, I will say it, this is gay.
You lost to a low-mid major with the chance to play another low-major in the FF.
I completely understand you cheering for Creighton.
What gets me is most are not you or even remotely close to your situation.
Most are band wagon douchebags. Like little kids picking their "favorite" team.
Which is fine. Just be honest in why you pick a team.
I get not all think that way and cheer for who you want to cheer for. But Nebraska basketball sucks. And by God if we have a Cubs or Red Sox moment, I want it to be real long suffering fans enjoying the moment. Lol.
I think Nebraska fans would be happy if we went as far into the tournament as Creighton did.
I can't get over how pathetic this is. Did he have it typed up and ready to tweet out or something?
The replies, oh man, epic!

The only Jays that deserve your hate are the Creighton Prep Jays, Prep players and their parents are the worst.
Ha...they do get a lot of crap!
I coached football there for a few years.
And I played football there for a few years. We aren't that bad
I did't really think so either. I think there was this idea that the kids and parents were "bad" but I never really saw it. Students were great (to me, I am sure on the weekends they loved to have fun and dick around) and I personally never had a bad interaction with a parent for the 6 seasons I coached there.
Yeah I don't know what they thought giving the 6th foul was going to accomplish. First, it eliminated any chance of getting the ball back with more than 1 or 2 seconds on the clock. And, it took away the opportunity to give a hard, early bump on the floor on any final drive into the lane. Just made no sense at all.
Well I wouldn’t think a former prep coach or player would openly admit to the poor sportsmanship exhibited by prep fans and players. Just my experience as a father of Millard athletes, you two must be the exceptions that prove the rule. Anyway, I still attend games so there’s still time for me to have my first positive experience with prep athletics. Have a great week fellas.
Can we get a wellness check at the Bishop residence
I never had issues with any fans from any of the schools. Most of the kids from all the schools were good too.
"I don't necessarily dislike Creighton basketball, but I often dislike the people who like Creighton basketball."
Signed, many Omaha area Husker fans.

The funny thing about all the Jays crying is that IF the roles had been reversed, all we would hear from them is "a foul is a foul" and "you have to call that." Not a soul would be saying "we got lucky, we didn't deserve that break, SDSU got screwed." Nebrasketball deals with at least one call that bad or worse in every B1G conference game. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes the bug.
I don't know if there has ever been a loss of a team that I have enjoyed so much. Then the fact that they lost to a mid-major just makes if funnier.
The creighton jealousy is strong around here. I will never understand it. They’re not a threat to Nebraska athletics at all, except maybe baseball. Basketball doesn’t count because creighton is not nor never has been the issue with Nebraska basketball. If UNL refuses to fix basketball, at least there is an in state option that provides basketball entertainment.
This is a Husker board and the Huskers suck. I get why Husker fans don't want to read about it on this board. I don't care what their thoughts are on it...but I get it.
A husker fan started a thread to on the husker board to discuss creighton fans being upset…so some of them do.
Making fun = jealousy?
We make fun of just about every FB team in the Big Ten...I don't think anyone is jealous of Northwestern.
You have bagged on Creighton all year. Wrote that they were disappointing, underachievers, have no expectations, etc. They made it to the Elite Eight, which I would say at least met expectations seeing as they were preseason #10. Now you write that they lost to a mid-major who had just beaten Alabama by a million. And Creighton beat two power five schools and a Princeton team who beat Arizona and Missery. You always just write drivel. Admit that Creighton had a very successful season and that you are a full-on moron. What a loser you are.
