LINCOLN, Neb. — Bring up Deion Sanders, and Rodney Lousberg can spot a jealous Nebraska fan from the Middle of Nowhere.
“Every (Cornhuskers fan) goes, ‘He’s egotistical,’” Lousberg said of the Buffs’ second-year football coach before CU kicked off against rival Nebraska on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. “I’m like, ‘Yeah. We knew that when we hired him.’
“That’s what their thing is. I think everybody wants to beat Deion Sanders. They want him so bad. I think that’s what made ’em mad the most is, we’re actually in the prime-time (slots) even though we’re not that good.”
