I’ve never had this thought before now: “I wonder if other fans side more with the opposite teams in my team’s rivalries.”
In Nebraska’s case, I’m willing to bet there’s older fans who want to see us beat any of the programs we used to compete with every year for decades. On the other hand, there’s adult fans now who have always known us to be the traveling carnival of self-sabotage.
On the days of your major annual rivalries, have you ever thought about what the general viewing audience is thinking and who they want to win more? How it shapes the outlook for the season going forward?
