As a former '17er myself I was unable to fully enjoy the KU loss. It seems that when i showed up for the Thursday session I find two young KU fans (6-9 yrs old) sitting with their parents right in front of me. (Compounding the problem was that, due to a hangover, i overslept Monday and was unable to get seats with my friends so I was by myself in the Lower Tier) Well the kids ended up cheering for the cats the whole game and are throwin me fives on big plays. So by the time the hawks are getting dicked by NIU i felt pretty guilty being a total dick about it.
On the plus side a Nebraska fan behind me verbally chastized me for rooting against KU, I told him that i would rather get full blown AIDS than root for KU.
