Slow day in Husker land

So anyway, over the last few days Larry the Cable guy has been doing interviews to pimp his up coming roast on TV. Point is, he was wearing a Nebraska hat on the two I saw him on (Hannity/Glen Beck). What do you all think, is it a good thing for NU to have a guy showing the pride, or do you consider him more of a joke?

 
I think he is a great guy...I'd just rather that he not be directly associated with the Huskers. I know the whole redneck thing is all an act on his part, but he certainly furthers Nebraska's already backwoods reputation.

 
I could care less either way.

It's an act, he's not really that big of a redneck.... If people are dumb enough to think that he's a typical Nebraskan, then I could care less what they think.... Nebraskans don't have a southern accent.....

Well, the truth is there are alot of rednecks in Nebraska, so Larry is a pretty accurate representation of us. Although I think there are more Tom Osborne types, than Larry the Cable Guy types.

Well I live in Missouri, and it is redneck central down here.

 
Larry is working with UNL to put on a 4th of July Comedy concert at Memorial Stadium at 4 dollars a ticket all profit going to some charity.

If there was an option of having someone else as our celebrity fan (non former athlete), I would probably choose them, but the fact is the only other guy I can think of is Warren Buffet, so out of those two I bet (sadly to say) more people know Larry.

With all of that said I think Larry the Cable Guy is funny and I dont mind he is fan of NU and represents it. But I do know some people think we are all like that, but then again there are thousands of other sterotypes, so no matter who you are or where you live there is a sterotype for you so I dont think anyone should get worked up about it

What about that Supreme Court justice?

 
Could be worse.....Look at what the poor Hawkeye fans must endure. Can you say: TOM ARNOLD?

I really could care less and think people just try and make excuses to make fun of Nebraska. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I can see where they get it from.

 
Don't matter to me, I'm not a neck, so it has no effect on me. Let people think/say what they want about my state, I know the truth, so it don't mean sh#t to me.
