We're a bunch of rednecks according to USC Coaches...

[VectorVictor]

...according to the Omaha World Herald:

 

For a few minutes Friday, it was a circus in Omaha. As the crowd refused to move from outside the fence around the football stadium, one USC coach grew upset and called a group of NU fans "rednecks," according to observers.

So, I know our beloved 'Huskers have enough bulletin board material...but damn, those are fighting words. Don't piss of the friendliest fans in the nation, as our alter ego is a bitch.

I'd rather be considered a redneck than a USC fan. Any day of the week.

:asshat

 

We need an assclown emoticon so we can fully encompass the USC fan this week.

This is really late, but......... My uncle used to work for a print shop in Lincoln back in the 70's, so I got every bumper sticker, poster, plaque, whatever was made. I think this is very appropriate..........

The college football program that operates smoothly under the Hollywood spotlight got a bit spooked Friday afternoon at Westside High School.

 

The No. 1-ranked Trojans, conducting a final practice in preparation for today's 7 p.m. clash with 14th-ranked Nebraska at Memorial Stadium, were forced to call an audible when a couple hundred NU fans infringed on their privacy.

 

The University of Southern California began its one-hour workout at Phelps Field, in plain view of the assembled throng of fans who had caught word of the USC presence. Omaha police and school officials failed to disperse the crowd to the liking of coach Pete Carroll.

 

So the Trojans packed up and moved — to the adjacent Westside baseball field, behind the football grandstand and hidden from view.

 

"I was just impressed again by Nebraska's following," Carroll said after the practice.

 

USC typically closes its practices on Fridays, when Carroll and his assistants take the Trojans through their script of first-quarter offensive plays. Other practices are open to the public, regularly creating a circus-like atmosphere.

 

For a few minutes Friday, it was a circus in Omaha. As the crowd refused to move from outside the fence around the football stadium, one USC coach grew upset and called a group of NU fans "rednecks," according to observers.

 

"We were all like, 'Whoa, did he just say that?'" said 19-year-old Alex Post, a University of Nebraska at Omaha student who came to watch the Trojans practice.

 

USC chose to practice at Westside because of its modern facilities and proximity to the Omaha Marriott, the team's hotel. Both the Westside football and baseball fields are covered with FieldTurf, the same surface as Memorial Stadium.

 

Westside Athletic Director Bob Reznicek said he first heard from USC officials last spring. Dennis Slutak, the Trojans' football operations director, confirmed last month that the team would practice at the school. He asked Reznicek to keep it secret.

 

"I told him we'd do our best," Reznicek said. "We did OK until (Thursday)." News of the practice leaked. And once it hit the Internet, it was too late.

They can call us rednecks all he wants. I just hope the players heard about it and show em what a redneck ass-whuppin looks like up.

[LAHusker]

Rednecks actually have higher IQs on average.

[no_name_needed_2001]

If we pull off the win they can call us whatever the hell they want

[papersun87]

I can't even begin to tell you how awesome I think it is that we disturbed their practice so much as to make one of their coaches actually lose his temper.

 

Memorial Stadium is quite a bit louder than a few dozen high school kids.
