I went to the game and had great seats. What I learned first And foremost is this, we do have the best fans in the country. Period. I watched while being cautiously optimistic. Didnt say a word. I was surrounded by Iowa fans. The guy behind me (mid 60’s) talked crap all game long. Too the point where I wanted to punch him. He was cursing and laughing. Obviously drunk. Then the third quarter came. It was a disaster. My wife whispered too me. “You ok?” I was like “yea”. All the while listening to the iowa folks just yuk it up. No big deal. Nebraska fans are better than that. Then I looked around at the mass exodus. It was bad. Fans weren’t mad. Just dissapointed. They came out and saw a complete disaster. Not just this game, but a season. Then one guy put it simply “they are kids being put in bad positions. They are only doing what they are being taught”. As my wife and I were exiting I heard “gooooo biggggg Red, go big red”. Then I thought too myself. We ARE THE BEST FANS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. It will get better, I hope. But I felt tremendous pride knowing we are nebraska!!
I love this team no matter what is thrown at them!
