Alternate Uniforms 2019

[AZ_Husker]

I guess I would have chosen early on instead of waiting so long to decide.  But I'm sure Frost didn't see the season turning out like it has, so I get the reason to wait.

They are home unis though, so not really an option unless you convince them to wear their away jerseys at home.

I think we should make this a no sit Saturday!! Teams needs to see our support right now. Someone else was saying if we win we are 5-3 and still have a couple pretty winnable games on the schedule.  This is a must win if we want to get to a bowl. If worse case scenario happens it wont be from lack of support. Let's rock this place and show the recruits what Nebraska is about 

I'm kind of of the opposite opinion. Unwavering insane passionate fan support should not be a given; it should be earned. The fact that 90,000+ will still support you every single day no matter what might make it easier to not care that much if you win or lose. You're always safe and adored no matter what.

2007 Colorado - L 51-65

2014 Fresno - W 55-19

2014 Northwestern - W 38-17

2014 USC - L 42-45

2015 Miami  - L 33-36 OT

2015 Illinois - L 13-14

2015 Minnesota - W 48-25

2016 Northwestern - W 24-13

4-4 over the last 15 years with mostly dominant wins and really competitive losses (three of which were by two of the worst Nebraska teams in history). idk how that shows we don't play well in them. The times we've lost in them, we didn't play well those entire seasons in our normal uniforms either.

I guess 4-4 is good enough for you then.

I feel like I'm replying to you a lot today but i promise that's not intentional. 

I'd say 90,000+ fans supporting these athletes every Saturday is one of the things that sets NU apart. When other teams struggle, so does their attendance. That should be a huge recruiting sell. 

On the flip side, the players performance shouldn't be tied to how many fans show up. I highly doubt players take fan attendance into account when they decide how hard they're gonna play. 

Regarding the current situation, i think a fired up crowd that stays loud and positive even if the team is struggling could make a huge difference in the remaining home games this year.

I've always been a fan of the all whites myself

Agree, they are sweet

Exactly...at a minimum start small, no discounts at retailers

Also the last time we beat Wisconsin (way back in 2012) we were in alternates, so there would be some history in saving them for Bucky.

This was also the last game I attended. I need to get back for one.

They are college kids... I hope everyone shows up, crowd noise impacts the game, and the team feeds off the crowd energy.
 

It seems pretty fickle to say that you won’t support them while they are struggling because of worrying they may feel coddled.

You need to take my place sir.  I am 0 for my last 5. Haven't seen them win since 2014.

Guys, it's wyohusker56's fault we suck

Let's start a gofundme to pay for me going to another game!

Scott, please play back in black during the Tunnel walk.  Might be just the Funeral song we need to bring this place back from the brink.

What do we wear during practice?  Just heard another ''Best Practice evah'' type presser

I'd say 90,000+ fans supporting these athletes every Saturday is one of the things that sets NU apart.

It 100% is something that sets us apart. Being a blue blood who's been down and mediocre for going on 20 years is another thing that sets us apart. I'm not saying they're for sure related, but after seeing the same sorts of inexplicable weird plaguing problems stay with this program through administration and coaching and player changes over several years makes me not able to totally discount a possible connection ever.

On the flip side, the players performance shouldn't be tied to how many fans show up. I highly doubt players take fan attendance into account when they decide how hard they're gonna play. 

Two things. If it shouldn't be/isn't tied to fans showing out, then.... there's no real reason to have a passionate loud dedicated fanbase, right? They should play the same even if there's 30 people in the stands? Second thing, following that, whether or not it should or shouldn't be tied is irrelevant - it totally is. Basic human psychology makes that abundantly clear, but there's different levels of ways that can impact, and I'm not sure they're all 100% positive. 

It seems pretty fickle to say that you won’t support them while they are struggling because of worrying they may feel coddled. 

I'm not saying that. I've pretty much only known mediocrity in my time as a devoted and attentive husker fan, and I still can't get enough. I'm not going anywhere. But what I am saying is that the reality might be true that they are coddled and that keeps being a poison pill for this program. I'm not saying anything strongly affirmative as far as what to do about it, but I've got a hunch as to one factor that contributes to it.
