Gave me chills when I heard that I got chills too, I couldn't believe the anouncers didn't mention it. How rare is it that you can here a visting teams chant on tv, after the last two touchdowns the GO BIG RED chants were clear as day. During the Neb third down attempts in the first and early second quarters, it was probably the loudest its been since the Apple Cup or win over Oregon in 2003. I was in the Tyee section on the 45 and even the older folks were standing and yelling. The USC upset last year did not have the same energy or atmosphere. The UW fanbase is taking nano steps in some of the basics of fandom, as there has been little to cheer about for six ridiculous years.

I just wanted to personally thank all the Husker Fans who made the trip to our beautiful city and attended the rout on Saturday. Everyone from the Husker nation I encountered was courteous, gracious, understood the game of college football and displyed a genuine passion for the best sport on this planet. I had the privelage of entertaining some decent LSU folks last year, but they did not possess the same level of class. I sat with my father on the south side stands and he made the comment about the sea of red in the upper deck and the endzones, laughing in disbelief. The atmosphere was electric and rivaled a bowl game, more than a decided home field advantage. To wrap this up, what an experience on the shores of the Lake Washington with the weather cooperating, beer flowing at the tailgate, the noise deafening and the privelage to witness how a top-10 football program gets things done. I was at the 1992 UW-Neb as a naive teenager, and I feel fortunate to be able to appreciate the pagentry of college football from a much deeper perspective. The majority of knowlegable Husky fans are dissapionted with being annihilated, but we did not expect to win in the first place. Locker and the team will bounce back against USC. Best of luck in your run through the Big-12 and please dispose of Texas with as much indiscretion as possible.
