TLS2 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 As we look forward to a new head coach for our beloved Huskers, I'm wondering if the fans are ready to be 'new fans'. I've seen a very ugly side of people who call themselves 'Husker Fans' that I hope I don't ever see again. I hope that whoever comes in, even if it is someone who has been here before, we will be the 'best fans in the nation' once again, not a bunch of whiners and complainers. Anyway, just food for thought. The new coach and the players old and new are going to need all the support we can give them. Are we up to supporting them, Husker fans? Quote Link to comment

T_O_Bull Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I don't need to be a "new fan" I like the way I always have been. Red to the bone, never wavering, always supporting Nebraska football no matter what. Did I want Callahan and Cosgrove to be gone. Absolutely. Does this make me a "whinner and complainer"? No way. What it makes me is a Husker Fan who took offence at what Callahan and his boss did with the program. To disrespect decades of Husker Tradition is inexcuseable. Did I want Cosgrove gone. Absolutely. He turned the Blackshirts into a lackluster group of namby-pambies. Do I need to be a "new fan"? Am I a "whinner and complainer"? No, I'm just a Husker fan, today, tomorow, till the day I die and they put me in the ground, resting peacefully in a scarlet and creame coffin. ...T_O_B Quote Link to comment

You won't boo them or pick on the coaches kids. THAT kind of behavior is not acceptable for true husker fans. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 If I could wish for one thing for the "new fans" it would be a set between their legs so they would stop grabbing for a box of tissues every single time someone says something they don't like. Quote Link to comment

The issue is not how others treat us but rather how we treat others. Being offended is not in view --- not being offensive is what is in view. Character matters. TO is a man of character. NU fans should emulate the humility, kindness, and overall generosity we see in our old coach. NU fans have been very civil and noble --- when they win all the time. I think this thread is about how degraded the NU fan base has become now that NU is no longer a competitive program. So, without putting words into the mouth of the person who launched this thread, I think they are hoping that the Husker team becomes competitive again but, moreover, that we NU fans exhibit class and function as good sports throughout the process. That means exhibiting patience and expressing good character. What we have seen this season from many NU fans --- and many on this board --- has been rather pathetic. Lets both win well and lose well as we support our team, our coaches (past, present, and future), our university and our state. This is what, I think, this thread is simply calling us to do.

papersun87 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I don't care who the coach is. I'll still root like mad for the team. So in short, no. I'm not ready to be a new fan, I'm ready to keep being the same fan I was before. Quote Link to comment

Battery Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Question? Someone comes up to you and says: "I'm a new husker fan... I follow the leader and do what I am told" Do you... A) take them under your wing and lead them on to the path of glory. B ) Say how many froot loops have had t'day boy, you are off your rocker, C) say "welcome to the fold we need easily swayed fools like you" N) give them a right smack on the brow and say "Get the F back to Oklahoma where simple minded tards like you belong". The answer seems easy to me. he he he Quote Link to comment
