I have been an NU season-ticket holder for more than 30 years and have tailgated in Lincoln, at many away games and several bowl games. I attended the Big 12 championship game in Kansas City on Saturday night and was appalled at the Husker fan behavior I observed.

 

First, when I arrived 20 minutes prior to kickoff, the parking lot was a trash pit of beer bottles and cans. These were in rows with all Nebraska license plates parked there. It was difficult driving down some of the rows as I had to avoid the debris left behind by Husker tailgaters who didn't clean up after themselves.

 

Secondly, I was sitting in the end zone, and the Nebraska fans booed the Oklahoma team when it came on the field. Thirdly, I have never heard Husker fans yell such venomous and crude insults directed at Oklahoma's Coach Stoops whenever he walked onto the field to question an official.

 

This conduct is a far cry from the conduct I have observed at more than 150 Husker football games I have attended. I hope these crude and rude individuals do not attend the Cotton Bowl and continue to give Husker fans and Husker traditions a bad name.

All the trash I saw in the parking lot was overflowing out of the trash cans where we were parked so Im sure some of that stuff blew around, but the only negative yelling I really heard was some college kids a couple rows in front of me everyone else was good.

 
I bet it's somewhat true althought I am sure it is exaggerated just a wee bit. Face it, NU fans like to party. Considering at the Big 12 Championship, you didn't have to use a "big red cup" to hide your favorite beverage, it's not surprising to hear of all the trash.

On that note, the writer has obviously not been to a Chiefs game. The amount of trash generated at one of those is astronomical.

Sounds a little to me like the writer is up on his high horse. Probably an older guy who likes to hold younger folks to a higher standard, although he did the same stuff when he was their age. Has he just ignored the large trash bins overflowing with beer cans boxes in most parking lots in Lincoln after a football Saturday?

As much as folks like to talk up "the greatest fans in the college football", some of us are just like everyone else.

Sorry gramps, those people will be at the Cotton Bowl.

You pay 20 bucks let them clean it up.

Just kidding our area in lot G everyone put there

empties and trash in a bag

As for booing it is a football game and they are the

oppenent boo when ever you want to.

 
You're kidding right? If you haven't noticed the decending morals,character,honor, and discretion in the general population,and even more so in highschool and college age people,you must have your head in the sand. It seems like people cant do anything, or attend any event without getting totally drunk and wasted anymore.The degree of vulgarity with which people now comonly talk to each other, and the decending lack of respect people show for any level of authority in our society is unprecedented.Some of you, are highschool or college teachers and almost all of us know someone who is a teacher, so ask any teacher you know if they feel good about how young peoples values stack up with 10 or 20 years ago. People now go to fast food joints now, and then just throw the trash on the side of the road.I hear young kids talk crap to parents,teachers, and adults regularly, and parents put up with it.I've seen many folks on here talk about how the 'blue hairs' just sit on their hands, or dont cheer, but once those folks are all gone, an era of respect and honor will be gone with them. We as the next generation, and younger one that is following, are throwing away an oportunity to be the type of fans they were.No one can honestly say Nebraska's level of fan 'goodness' has not slipped in the last few years. It is a fact, and it is happening across the country.

I attended the game at Kansas City, where I attended the tailgates, and drank with everyone else. On the way home on Sunday,I told my college age kids,who I partied with on Saturday, that I would have loved to attend that exact game again, with everyone at the game totally sober.Wouldn't it be just as much fun? Without some of the indescretion?

Who really cares what a bunch of ole blue hairs think anyways! Hell I have heard they scream at you for standing up and cheering anyways. Sounds like they need to pack it in and release their season tickets once and for all!

There were some morons about 8 rows above me and my wife yelling and cussing pretty much all game, but I knew they were drunk as hell and it doesn't really bother me that much.............I cuss like a sailor on leave, but I usually don't do it around little kids and there was quite a few in my section.

I am the same way. Going to a football game is all about tailgating, drinking beer, and yelling your face off. The booing is not the average husker fan. We are not all perfect angels.

 
Things change, not always for the better. We have been known as the best fans in college football, that was easy when we were running over people right and left. As the wins dropped so did the attitude. An anger it seems.

I attended the SC game, and Nebraska fans booed SC when they took the field, sorry to say I did not hear it returned.

You have to do what ever you feel is right. Being drunk and having a good time is not license to ridcule other Nebraska fans in the stadium for their thoughts. As for blue hairs son, you are the minority and always will be. Most fans show respect, if the beer goggles make you into a Colorado type fan then that is your problem.

College football is not about drinking, getting fall down drunk or throwing the Fbomb. You have lost the meaning of Nebraska football. But as most youth these days you have lost the meaining of respect.

You can attend a game and indulge in beer, I could care less, but carry your self with respect. A lot on here know I am older than most, and know that I enjoy seeing you guys have a great time, have paid for a few beers a couple of times. But lowering ourselves to the rest of college football bottom dwellers is not what I want. Great time, great people, great friends that is what college football is about. Not Beer and poor manors.

 
My first Husker game I attended was KU vs Neb in 00. I wasn't drunk or cussing just rooting and people were telling me to shut up and to sit down. The wife and I still talk about that day what a joke' spend 50 bucks on a ticket to sit on your hands!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe how dead Husker fans were compared to most other college games I had been to.

I am certainly against public intoxication and cussing, what are we sCUm but we need to get excited during a football game.
