As long as they are calling themselves “Omaha’s team” they can kiss off.

Surprised by the strong stances on both sides in this thread. Don’t really care if we play them or not.

They should be on our schedule every year. If they want to call themselves Omaha’s team, go for it. That will be a tough tagline to sell when we beat them by 25-40 every season.

Check the page below - these games were hardly the beatdown some of you think would happen. And UNO was only D II back then.

I was almost certainly at that 1982 loss. I’ve blotted it out of my memory. We had Vernon Moore (all conference guard) and a future NBA player, the mercurial Benoit Benjamin on that team. UNO (back then) probably had Dean “the dream” Thompson.

Both Dean and Tom Thompson.

Great guys and all timer Omaha ballers

I watched that game in the St. Theresa’s Church social hall here in Omaha. My dad brought a little black and white TV (it was televised locally here in Omaha) so we could watch it at my Grandparents Anniversary party. I was crushed because I was sure CU would win a natty with Big Ben. Man was I ever wrong.

Ohhh…
So now we’re doing the same ‘big-boy’ move we used to despise? So now we’re Gtwn, KU, looking down our noses at ‘lesser’ teams / leagues? Oh how times have changed. How soon we for get our history.

Renew/revive the series. Also play 1 or 2 MVC teams (Drake/UNI/Bradley/SIU) annually. gtmo
