Future Big 12 Water Cooler Talk
« on: December 06, 2010, 10:14:33 PM »
Now that the end of the season is here and Nebraska is pretty much (in my mind) part of the big 10, how should I handle office talk of Big 12 football?

Lets say there is are a couple Bugeater coworkers, and I strike up a conversation with fellow Big 12'ers about the upcoming football season.  And lets say said Bugeaters also want to join in on the conversation and they start ranting about Husker football. 

What is the proper way to respond that wouldn't get me fired?  Should I humor them since they will probably miss us?

TIA

Tell them to GTFOOYF because if you can be fired for telling a Husker to eff off you need to find a new job.

Just ask them who their coach is and act like you didn't know anything about their team/tradition.  They'll get themselves so worked up they'll hang themselves for you.
