My missouri game experience sucked big time

[Incandenza]

I would've been happy to walk 2 miles, sit in the rain, and endure some sh#t-talk to be at that game.

[Axl_sued_me]

We called a cab to pick us up from our motel. They never showed up.

 

Luckily, we found out about a shuttle that picked us up right in front of our motel. We stayed at the Motel 6 off of I-70 drive and Stadium Way.

You guys know i dont hold a grudge. But some of my fellow MU fans do. And for what ever reason they dont little Nebraska. Could be a million reasons why. Who knows. Nebraska for some reason doesnt like MU. Probably a million reasons why. And those feelings have led to biased opinions of eachothers fans and teams.

 

Mu is not the greatest staduim in the big 12, its middle of the pack. Parking due to construction this year espescially has really sucked. But Memorial (MU's) is far better than others in the conference.

 

 

The fans, well depends on your crowd i guess. I have seen MANY more stories from husker fans about the good times they had and the good fans they spent time with then the few stories of how bad it was.

Thing is if you could see the same things i do and hear from other teams that we play you might get where i am comming from. when teams that play us make a point to tell us how great an experiance it was and how welcome they felt. Sounds familar huh. I should have posted the letters from Nevada fans about both their visit to COMO and ours out to Reno and how much the enjoyed it. I know some MU fans are awful. It is a fact of life. Just believe me when I tell you I call them out faster than any others because they reflect on me.

 

I aint mad at you holer, its your rightful opinion. Parking has been an issue all season due to some work they are doing. I guess I am just a different breed. I drove around a cluster f**K in lincoln last year and ended up paying $20 to park in a yard. Then i walked nearly 2 miles to the stadium, most of which was down back dirt alleys. I never even would have thought to complain about that. Infact dont know that i had even mentioned it before now.

I was actually at the 1997 CU-MU game in Boulder. Didn't seem to be a problem with either fan base though it might be because there were very few Missouri fans there. You could actually here the Missouri assistants celebrating in the coaching box at the end of the game.

 

They probably rioted well after the game, but I've never had a problem in Boulder. Nothing like Columbus.

[fro daddy]

Fro, wait until your fans get back from Boulder after the halloween game(assuming they make it out of town alive).

 

Full blown riot scheduled that night. They already have everything short of the national guard lined up.

 

LOL. Better bring your riot gear and gas masks. That one is going to be ugly when Missery names the score on their sorry azzes. I would take anything valuable you may have from your car and make sure there isnt anything associating your vehicle with the state of Missery otherwise you wont have a car left to drive home in. Another good investment Goodyear run flat tires, oh and cut your mullet unless you want to get scalped.

 

Funny thing is i have never had issues with Colorado. I have been to MU/CU games in COMO and never had an issue and a BB game in Boulder bout 8 years back and never an issue.

 

maybe its just you guys...

This year is different-the top cop declared war on the public a couple weeks ago

This is going to be very big, and very ugly if the out of control police chief goes through with his plans(all indications are that he will).

Coincidentally, nobody ever complains how the opponent treats them - AT THEIR OWN HOUSE. Let us know next time you head over to Boulder for a game that CU thinks it's going to win, only to have your Tigers take the game. I'm thinking you'll be treated a little differently.

 

But yeah, it is just us to a degree, too. After all, we stomped on most of the "North" teams for a couple of decades. That kind of win streak breeds a different kind of animosity fueled by jealousy that just doesn't exist between Missouri and Colorado.

[funhusker]

The one fact we can take from these stories is there is bad people everywhere. I have never been to another college venue outside of Lincoln, however, I would love to.

 

I've been to at least one Husker game every year for the last 13 and the one thing I can guarantee is that someone in Red will embarrass me.

 

I've seen fights on O Street, I've seen people harrass a 12 year old for wearing black and gold, I've seen a Mob harrass a family with 5 and 7 year olds and yell "get the F*&k off our statue!" outside our stadium.

 

My point is, there is douche bags everywhere!! I you go in looking for them, trust me they are easy to find. If you go in looking for good fans and a good experience, they are even easier to find.

[Tora! Tora! Tora!]

It was just my personal experience - not Missouri's fault that it was pouring rain, and I'm sure there are plenty of nice Missouri fans. I do have to say though that the parking set up and traffic control was absolutely horrendous. You're just kind of on your own. And the stadium set up left a lot to be desired. Tried to get a cup of joe and it was clear it would be an hour wait. It was just all in all a poor experience for me personally.

 

I was at the game and I can say that it was probably the worst game experience I've ever had. I went to the MU/KU game at Arrowhead last year when it was raining ice, and it wasn't as bad as this. The rain was coming down so hard, that you were soaked to the marrow. However, I knew that was coming an I choose to go anyway.

 

The really bad part was that the stadium was running on backup power. There was no power in the concession stands. They were literally working in the dark and they had to explain to every person that walked up 'no you can't pay with a credit card'. The brand new big screen was down (I really wanted to see that), there was no PA and no Play Clock. I heard the radio mention that the authorities in Boone county were busy saving flash flood victims.....so I don't think there was as much crowd control at the game as normal.

[zoogs]

EVERY fan base has their classy fans and their douchebags.

 

I'm sorry your game experience sucked, but complaining about it isn't the classiest thing to do either. Nebraska fans, as the classiest in football, could do with a little less complaining about treatment from other fanbases....JMO.

makes sense - thanks for pointing these things out.

[My wife and I took the bus - about an hour each way. But better than trying to find a place to park. Plus - it only cost us a buck apiece each way.

 

The bus was about half huskers and half tigers. Good conversation each way - no trash talk at all.

 

Sat at the game among both tigers and Huskers - no trash talk at all.

 

The only bad part - the endless rain. We sat near a drain - and the water was non-stop. Stood in a river for 4 1/2 hours.

 

But . . . once it hit the 4th quarter - we never felt one bit wet. What a great quarter for the good guys.

You guys know i dont hold a grudge. But some of my fellow MU fans do. And for what ever reason they dont little Nebraska. Could be a million reasons why. Who knows.

 

We all know why. It's called jealous of prosperity. It's not just NU but any dominating program in any conference. The facilites, the winning, the awards, etc etc. That's why just about everybody from the original Big 8 hates NU.

When you have been beaten like a drum for generations by somebody you are going to hate them.

i am sure that has something to do with it. Could also be the attitude of many husker fans that they are the only ones that can be on top. I have heard more cracks about Mu and a weak north, but if NU is the winner this year and the north is down again, even more than in past years does that take away from NU winning it? or how about the dozens of conference championships when NU and OU were the only two teams that had winning programs? Although being beat has something to do with it, im am sure an elitist attitude by some doesnt help. I mean most of us are from the midwest. Basic hardworking values. I grew up in an area where you worked hard and treated others with respect. Nobody likes the spoiled snobby kid. And in some circles, Nebraska fan is that kid. My buddy says Ne fan is the pretty popular girl in HS that gets shown up. She is pissy and jelous now that she isnt the apple of everyones eye. (he is a ISU fan BTW) I believe that to be harsh and over the top, but you get the point.

 

obviously i dont believe that to be the majority. yeah some NE fans torqe me off, but i have no issues with most. But then again some tiger fans torque me off too...

 

All in all i think most of us are the same people. I believe it was Knnaplc who said we are the sme, just born in different areas and grew up liking different teams
