This is the first year in many that I have spent time in the Omaha metro during football season. KETV just ran a 10-15 minute segment showing highlights and talking about the Ohio State game. Seriously, two full days after the game and the biggest news story here is still the Husker win. I think I even saw a rivals.com reference in their newscast. The segway to the Bears-Lions game was the introduction of 5 former Huskers suiting up for that game and went on to show those player's highlights.
The coverage here is insufferable. I wouldn't even want to see Hawkeye highlights dominate the news like it does here. I remember how seemingly little KCRG covered the Hawkeyes in their news even during their 8-0 start a few years ago.
In a spiteful way, I do receive satisfaction when they lose even though I know a LOT of good people who went to UNL and are Husker fans. However, many of their fans invest so much of their life into a program and develop a sense of togetherness and superiority that is truly cult-like. It is sad that so many people in that state can be involved with the University of Nebraska but that school system continues to lag behind its peers because the only identity its residents care about takes the field twelve days each year.
End of rant.
