AR Husker Fan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 We should be going. My husband knows the ski instructor... ***SNIP*** Yourhusband knows the ski instructor? Between that and the fact he always seems to be asleep, I'm beginning to understand why you wanted a Male Daily Skin - and why you treat Husker Rob and me as sex objects... Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I am sure the faculity section is a tad bit more civilized than the rest of the section. It is easy to tell where that is. It is the only section without signs saying "DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS" Quote Link to comment

HuskerNCo Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 We should be going. My husband knows the ski instructor from working on the Ski Team van and painting it. We usually get freebie tickets. Some years we have extra. Last year we gave 4 away to Huskers. Nice people. We've been going to the games since we moved here and have never ever had a problem. The tickets are in the faculity section and we do get strange looks and questions about how we got the tickets. No biggie. well let me know if you get extra tickets this year Of course I will.

TarheelTrojan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I plan on not being there... After living in Denver, and bearing witness to the Holy Grail of sCUm's existance of that 62-36 anomaly, I will never go to that joke of a stadium and campus ever again. Why? Ok, I'm not an undergrad anymore, but I know the life. I'm not that far removed, I still yell and scream, swear a little too much when the Huskers aren't doing well, but I am aware of my surroundings. If I have a BAC of .160 powered by Rum, beer, whatever, and I'm sitting by a family with a 8 and 10 year old, I just yell encouragement and try to keep my balance from not having to buy little Jimmy a new bucket of popcorn due to knocking it out of his hands in an attempt to not fall over after screaming 'Blackshirts' to the point of passing out from lack of oxygen to keep Johnny Opponent, QB, from completing a 1-yd pass on a 2nd and 12. I'm not perfect, I know and understand this, but this is your 2001 Colorado Buffaloes fans... -Having Frat boys throwing lawn chairs at your buddies' 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee from their pre-game, 4-keg-wish-I-was-invited-just-to-have-some-drinks-but-not-hang-out-with-you frat party...having one clip the fence to keep it landing only inches from the vehicle...and watching CU campus 'police' on the street corner laugh about the incident. -Begin walking up to your seat to have a soda tossed on you from somewhere, a late 30's/early 40's 'dad' encourage his approx. 9 yr. old to give you the 'double bird' because you're a Husker fan, then laughing and back-slapping his buddy next to him that the kid is 'learning.' -At the concession stand, hearing behind you, "maybe if those f'ing idiots up there would poison these f'ers' food, they wouldn't show up here any more." -Upon leaving, having leftover food and urine-filled bottles (some that are glass alcohol bottles that they snuck in, shattering around you) thrown at you while you're walking at street level and they are chucking them from the top of the stadium, again while campus 'police monkeys' are screeching "ooh-ooh-ahh-ahh!" while scratching their armpits in excitement and probably contemplating throwing their own dung as well. I've been to the '95 Orange 'Miami Huff and Puff' Bowl, At OU, At UT, At USC, and although very full of themselves, call it confident (aren't we??), these fans have been fun, insightful, witty, and RESPECTFUL. I seriously don't ask for much at a game other than this. Although it is disappointing when NU loses, I want to walk away with a great college football experience, win or lose. It is really the people, not the games, that make a difference in life, and we, as NU fans, create that in turn when we host other schools and their fans to come visit us. I salute the 99.5% of NU fans who provide this, and try to correct the .5% that isn't done in a positive light. Believe it or not, I've yelled at NU students in the student section (while a UNL student) for throwing cups at the KSU fans sitting next to me. They didn't do anything, hell, they weren't even students, they just got some tickets from OUR students who wanted to party instead of see the game, and they wanted to experience Memorial Stadium, because they'd heard great things about the 'atmosphere'. Some atmosphere, having numerous cups pelting your head...to be honest, I knew because the dipsh*t who drilled me apologized and slurringly said he was trying to nail the 'purple thing' next to me. By the end of the game, the KSU fans congratulated me on the win, thanked me and my buddies for chatting with them and sharing some insight on the Husker tradition, and said they would still come back, and doubted we would ever like to go to Manhattan for a game, but 'they' would welcome us. What does that say? I know I'm preaching to the choir, but please keep this in mind. Nebraska is *STILL* recognized as having the greatest fans in the country. I don't want this to end, because I like having people from Oklahoma and Texas, and anywhere tailgate and share stories and have a good time. We've seen consecutive this and that fall on the field, and that is unfortunate. But how important is it as being seen as the greatest sportsmans on AND off the field? It only helps support Nebraska athletics, and also creates camaraderie in places you may never think it could develop No fan anywhere should experience what you did, foppa. I am sorry you experienced that. I can sympathize with you because I had a similar experience a long time ago in a galaxe far far away. Always remember stars shine when its the darkest. Believe me, Nebraska is known as a class act. Colorado is known for what they are. I shared something on another blog when I first found you Huskers on line several months ago. I have been waiting for an opportunity to share it with you. I want you huskers on this boarad to hear it also. An incident happened on the field of last year's game between USC and Nebraska that is so typical of who you guys are. Our fullback, Ryan Poweldrell was tackled and had his ankle both broken and dislocated. (I have seen the x-rays, it was bad). If you saw it on TV on the replay, it showed Ryans foot at a 90 degree angle from his lower leg. The play happened in front of the Nebraska bench. Without hesitating or even looking to the SC sidelines, members of Nebraskas training staff sprinted on the field to help and comfort Ryan. It took a while before SC trainers became aware of the severity of the situation and made it to Ryan. In the meantime, Nebraska's staff stood back and stayed on the field if needed. I tell you, that was the most memorable part of the game to me. From the Trojan Family, I thank you. I have to think to remember the game highlights of that day, but that image or Ryan is burned in my memory. I have spoken to several SC fans who saw the incident and they told me they felt the same way. Several said they couldn't believe what they saw. That one single act, I am sure, endeared many SC fans to have a deep respect for Nebraska. Yes, unfortunately you will have to suffer some indignaties, but acts like that on the field in LA last year and fans in the stands will speak volumes. Remember, darkness flees from light.

husker rob Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 maybe to show the city of Boulder what kind of financial impact that us Husker fans have on their city every other year, we should announce that we are coming and will be paying for everything with $2 bills if all Husker fans showed up with $2 bills they might just finally understand the amount of money that is brought in by the Huskers. Then tell them that if the dont clean up the treatment we will boycott games there in the future Quote Link to comment
skersOVRsc Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Or we could all just take a dump in our seats before we leave the stadium! That would send a pretty strong message as well! Quote Link to comment
