While I expressed my happiness for the Indiana team and Big Ten above, I am not taking part in feeling happy for Indiana fans or calling them "deserving." They are not "long suffering" football fans. They didn't give two shits about football until last season.
Nebraska basketball fans, meanwhile, have continued to fill and sell out PBA and Devaney through years of medioctrity-at-best, including multiple losing seasons. Nebrasketball fans deserve to see their team succeed. Indiana just caught lightening in a bottle and jumped on the bandwagon. I hope they handle their suddend success beter than Kansas State did.
