B*******?

[real'97champs]

I know what happens when people say the B word on here but i saw this on another board and wanted to know if anybody has any info to verify it. And by the way I in NOOOO WAY support a b******* but here it goes.....

 

Dear Cornhusker Students,

 

 

 

First and foremost, thank you for supporting our football team. As we await the start of spring football, I hope this finds you well and looking forward to the April 19 Spring Game. As promised, we have been searching for a solution to the problems occurring in sections 12, 13, 14 and 15 in the South Stadium as well as overcrowding in the East Stadium. As you are well aware as a student season ticket holder in 2007, we have had increased conflict between our students, season ticket holders, security and event staff members. Concerns have escalated over the past few years and have caused unsafe situations for students and season ticket holders.

 

 

 

With assistance from ASUN, who submitted two new seating options to the Athletic Department and to the Fan Behavior Group last fall, the Athletic Department has approved the implementation of Option 1 (general admission seating, preference for upperclassmen in the East and elimination of block seating) for the 2008 football season with one addition—student seating will extend to the top of the South Stadium, just as it currently does in the East Stadium. In return for your movement, UNL student ticket holders of the future will receive additional student tickets in the total allotment; preferences for juniors and seniors and potentially some sophomores in the preferred East Stadium; general admission seating in both the East and South Stadiums which will reward those who come early and more accurately reflect the current seating practices; and a guarantee of no increase in student ticket prices over the next four years (2008-2011). We hope you will support this solution.

 

 

 

The Athletic Department will begin the process of relocating season ticket holders out of the upper sections of 12, 13 and 14. The student seating will now extend to the top of sections 12, 13 and 14 and will no longer be located in section 15. While I know there are concerns that students are losing lower seats in parts of section 14, I feel compelled to alert you that regardless of where the student section begins in Section 14, the lowest rows of this section will continue to be reserved for non-traditional students, student-athletes and Husker recruits on official visits. Therefore, the general student body is not losing these closest-to-the-field seats in those sections. While block seating that previously occurred during signup will no longer be in effect (per ASUN Option #1), those students who come together can sit together, much like the current practice. The Athletic Department will provide wristbands for those students with preferred seating in the East Stadium, to protect students from overcrowding. Those who prefer to sit with underclassmen may still do so in the South Stadium by indicating that preference upon signup.

 

 

 

I can assure you that moving students up in the South Stadium will not produce a financial windfall for the Athletic Department. Fans who are moved to lower sections will not be required to pay more. Also, the higher one sits, the better the view of the entire playing field. I sit high in the North Stadium and see the game much better than those in the lower rows.

 

 

 

In April, we will have season ticket signup by class status, with seniors allowed to sign up first and to pick their seating preference (April 7-9), followed by juniors (April 10-12), sophomores (April 13-15) and freshmen (April 16 and beyond). We are confident the preferential opportunity for upperclassmen to sit in the East Stadium (who with the previous lottery system may never have received that chance), the increase in the total allotment of student tickets, decreased conflict with security, event staff and season ticket holders and the guarantee of no price increase through 2011 will meet with your approval.

 

 

 

We appreciate the leaders of ASUN, who over the past few years have provided their time and expertise in solving these difficult issues that have been prevalent for decades. We appreciate your continued support of the Cornhusker Football Program and Nebraska Athletics. When you pick up your tickets in the fall, you will be given a new Husker T-shirt, commemorating the beginning of a new era in Husker Football. And just so you know, we've been listening and there's a definite possibility that the T-shirt will not be red. We hope you'll enjoy wearing it to the first game. You are valuable members of our team.

Interesting . . .

 

When Tom and I had lunch the other day, I suggested something like this, but I didn't think he'd take me seriously.

[red_black]

of all ppl he should know you wear red to memorial stadium.

[huskerswrkhavoc]

just because he says theres a good chance that shirt won't be red.. doesn't mean it won't be red.. and even if its not, that doesn't mean it'll be black.. tbh, i'd think more white, but thats just me... even if it's black.. there won't be a B******.. even when they try.. it sucks.. its worthless.. dumb..

[Dundermifflinite]

you know what this means? we are one step closer to donning he black uni's....

 

sad banana...

[BIGREDIOWAN]

It won't work and it never will....................wear red, be loud, leave with no voice!

[papersun87]

bh, i'd think more white, but thats just me...

White would be better because at least "cream" is actually one of our colors . . .

I don't care if Jesus sends out a letter possibly talking about a B******. It's still dumb.

[I See Red People]

hmmm, the student body attempting a B******. nope, nothing new there. the students is as far as that 'tradition' will ever go.

[skersfan]

Not a tradition, just the ME generation at work.

[HuskerTrucker]

Memorial Stadium should be red....and only red. We are not the Big Black, we are the Big Red.

[black label society]

Nebraska does sell shirts in black. I have 9 black 6 red and 1 white. 8 of though black shirts are BLACKSHIRTS t-shirts. People do wear black Nebraska t-shirts.

[MOD_CHAMPION]

Now I'm normally against a B******, but I think for the first game of Pelini's career along with a very defense oriented video they should also have a defense oriented student section. And our defense has been known as the Blackshirts for some time now and it is supposed to mean something. I think just for the first game it would be a great welcoming of Pelini and a return to the defensive powerhouse.

It would be dumb, and pretty silly if a fictional character sent out a letter!

 

I wear black to every game, I have for 5 years now and I highly doubt that's gonna change. It amazes me how worried most of you get about what somebody is going to wear to the game. Your stress level for everyday life must be off the charts. No wonder the sales of anti-depressants is at a all time high.
