Admittedly, I am from Texas, where football is taken pretty seriously. But across the country, from Pennsylvania to Florida to California, you can find universities with a great deal of school spirit. The only hand signal I have seen from CU fans is an extended middle finger toward the opposition. I can understand the sentiment against Nebraska, but when directed against San Jose State fans, such vitriolic feelings seem misplaced. The funny thing is Colorado is such a sports-mad state.
Bronco fans are extremely passionate.
It is perplexing that CU does not receive similar support. The lack of enthusiasm I saw at that CSU game has continued throughout my four years here. I am sure the absence of beer sales at Folsom Field has something to do with this. Some fans seem to decide when to leave the game based on when they sober up. I realize the mediocre teams over the past few years are also a factor.
