The abandonment of Front Range Huskers by their beloved University is win-win for CU fans.
When Colorado based Huskers talk about the Big 10, no one cares. It's irrelevent. Michigan-v-Nebraska watch parties will be fringe gatherings with all the social currency of a Tupperware convention. Poof. Out of site, out of mind. Nebraska disappears from watercooler chatter on Monday morning. Noice.
The people of Nebraska and in Big 10 country have betrayed and abandoned their Colorado based brethren. Colorado and Broncos fans are not going to watch, let alone critique any Husker performance. The annual smack of the last several decades is being replaced by an akward silence. The past is the past. The record and the bragging rights will soon have the value of confederate money.
Any Colorado based Husker who truly loves football will have to head to DIA or take I-76 east to join their corn shucking brothers. Or they have to take a long look in the mirror and tell themselves, "When in Rome..."
If they truly want to enjoy an exciting college game day atmosphere in all of it's beer gulping, brät grilling splendor, they might turn up in Folsom. Within a decade, their children, and maybe a few lonesome Osborn devotees might actually wear black and gold.
