Rarely do I post things of a personal nature on this blog. But this post is going to be different. Those of you who know me know that I'm a huge fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Give me a break, I'm an alum so you should expect me to cheer for my team. This Saturday is a very big game for the Husker faithful as we host #1 rated USC. Obviously I'd love to see my team pull the upset, but a lot of things would have to go right for it to happen. Nonetheless I'm hopeful!
On game days Memorial Stadium in Lincoln is the third largest "city" in the state. What you may or may not know is that Memorial Stadium is not only the home of one of the best football teams in the country, but it is the home of the best fans in the country, period. Don't take my word for it, listen to long time college football guru Beano Cook and ESPN.com writer Gene Wojciechowski.
GO BIG RED!

What do you mean...it's not all about football? Come on! I grew up on a bus with a dad/coach and I grew up way too near Nebraska fans and that fabled 3rd largest city :)When I went to see Mizzou play Nebraska in Lincoln (tickets from a gracious Nebraska fan)the fans were always nice, polite and on the rare occasion we won there (1978?) they were gracious in defeat. This is one Saturday I will be rooting with you. Send the golden boys home! It's been a while since I posted Rick, but thanx a ton for the insights & info. It's great to get all this stuff in one place. Keep it up. Go Bugeaters!
Come On Rick
STOP IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm happy for you Rick... I know how hard it is to have some dark years. My Irish face Michigan in the Big House... my favorite thought on the game so far is... "a pillow fight in the big house."
