May I ask an 'aside' question? I am a Marquette fan....and I go to their bulletin boards (not as much as here...lol) and I will say it would be a cold day in h*ll before anyone had a thread following the Badger game unless it was hoping that the Badgers crashed and burned.
The conventional wisdom there is that what is bad for Wisconsin is good for Marquette. (Press, instate recruiting etc)
So all that said......why the love for the Jays here?
When I was a resident of Nebraska (born and raised) -- and especially as a student at UNL -- I had no love for Creighton. However, as I've gotten older (and it's been nearly 20 years since I lived in Nebraska), I've learned to appreciate Creighton quite a bit. I don't see that as being anti-Nebraska (which is still my first love). Rather, I've gained another perspective in my pride for the state of Nebraska. (And, it's been a long, tough road following the Huskers for the past 10-12 years.)
Wisconsin is a different animal. They have all sorts of college and professional sports teams. Nebraska is much more limited. In fact, you could say that outside of the University of Nebraska teams, the next greatest interest comes from Creighton.
I really don't see Creighton's success taking away from Nebraska's. It really has nothing to do with the failures in Lincoln. Nebraska could make it much harder on Creighton than the other way around.
In the end, all things Nebraska are good in my book.
