Walk-on
Hello my name is Joe and I'm NOT a Husker fan. Sorry. I will gladly post my anti Husker comments here but I will do it with class and style. I will not be rude but funny. I really only want to poke fun at one member...(Eric the Red) he knows who he is and has given his permission to me to do this.

I'm from New York and own a pizzeria here in Omaha. My reason for not liking the Huskers is that on game day my business suffers and how can I support something that doesnt support me.

I will take on all comments and return all too.

Hey Joe...welcome to the board and the Husker Nation. I've started and owned several business' so take a tip to this soon to be SCOR resource. Change your attitude:

""I'm from New York and own a pizzeria here in Omaha. My reason for not liking the Huskers is that on game day my business suffers and how can I support something that doesnt support me.""

Get involved with the local Husker Support Clubs big time. Offer to sponsor a hole at their golf tournaments, if your business model fits make it a neighborhood watch party site. Give discount coupons to every participant of the golf tournaments (tournament sponsors love 'value added benefits' to enhance the experience and it is a whole lot lot less expensive than running ads in any periodicals). I speak from experience as I've used these coupons received by participating in local events to go to new restaurants I have never set foot in before. And I've done repeat business with them because I perceive them as a supporter of things I want to help those with common interests.

How do you think the proprietors in downtown Lawrence, KS and Columbia, MO feel about losing a home game and the game day crowds they both give up the next two years to Chiefs Stadium in KC, MO? But the respective athletic programs sold out the 'home' games for a guaranteed $1,000,000 by the Chiefs for moving the games.

Case in point...we had a very popular local pizza chain here in Topeka with Lincoln ties. We used to have our meetings there with very good attendance. But everytime we asked for a modest sponsorship of something or a token donation they were silent. We moved our events to other locations and the word got out among the membership. Now they are out of business. I'm sure they had other issues regarding their business but without the support of local club it may have been the last drip.

I've been to Omaha, Beatrice, and Nebraska City returning to Topeka after home games in Lincoln for dinner and business in those restaurants was busy with fellow attendees of the game looking for a place to eat among fellow members of the 'Husker Nation'.

Hope that I've helped. Otherwise it will be back to New York and trying to make a living off of supporters of Rutgers, Syracuse, or the rag tag rugbee boys of Central Park.

 
Well if your pizza is better than the pizza they serve at the game try to get in there because that pizza tasted like sh#t!!!!

I frequent Joe's place for lunch and I tell anyone I can about it! Maybe we'll order some up for the Ball St. game!
