I can't even say how happy this thread has made me. I have literally spent the past couple of hours going through it, and it has exorcized a lot of demons. Now don't get me wrong, the half-assed attempt at getting a scoop and super shallow analysis pushed me towards the exit, but it was the people there that really did it. My EMAW-ness was in direct conflict with those people. I swear there's no one there under 50, and if there are, then they're the douche-o ag dudes who went to lectures in cowboy hats or the ones who kept lecturing people about Jesus behind the Union.
You guys all nailed it. The prayer vigils, the lazily-coded racism in "he's surprisingly athletic and does things the right way" and "he's a Kansas kid who will outwork anybody," the ridiculous craig's list postings, and overall ass-hattery. I never understood why the GP people hated Nebraska fans so much. They act exactly like them. I couldn't take it anymore. I'm ashamed to admit that I stayed there for far too long.
