I was a KU fan when I taught there, but as a Nebraska grad (the only Power Six conference school never to win an NCAA Tournament basketball game), I'm a little tired of KU's success and the entitled attitude of its fans. Nothing personal, I'm just jealous.

I taught at CSU for 10 years but was ousted by the president after "FUCK BUSH" in 2007-08, so I have bittersweet memories of that place. I also taught at CU Boulder and just retired from the state in 2017 after 27 years. I'm at the University of Iowa now.
