NU's sellout streak must be safer than ever, what with our top ten ranking, last year in the big 12, and then the new big 10 competition. exciting times indeed.

Keep it up and it'll move faster. This is a football forum. If you guys want to have another "last to post wins" thread, it's not going to happen. This won't be the first threat to get locked for devolving into nonsense.

 

Oh yeah - I don't care how lame you think it is.

lol. I am sure you dont care. I was just giving you a bad time but I guess you have to do what you have to do. Part of being a mod.

 

 

Back to Husker talk.... How do you think the Huskers will do in their first road test?

Hard to say. We have the potential to blow this team out - another Holiday Bowl Massacre - but it depends on which team shows up.

 

Personally, I think the team was kind of sleepwalking through the first two games, knowing they way outclassed both opponents, and they'll dial it way up tomorrow. I think Locker is going to have a rough day, and I think we'll win by double-digits.

 

But you never know for sure. We've seen these guys have way too many brain farts to be completely comfortable. So I leave room for doubt.

2 touchdowns. good guys.

 

I gotta thread hijack...

 

tried to set up the trip with West Coast alum-buds, but it just didn't come thru.

 

also, all my local 'buds' got called into duty for other crap; Mom's 85th b-day party, soccer tourney in Des Moines, other nonsense...

Anyhow, i get to watch the game on my new deck-TV (that I built-in, thank you very much.

 

This is my PERFECT SENARIO for a big game, where I can actually hear the tube, or the radio, whatever. (and not run out of adult beverages)

 

how 'bout you guys?

 

GBR!

 

 

 

that okay knapp?

Im not reading all 7 pages but i will interject my opinion. For a long time i wondered about the sellout streak. It seemed to me at the time that sellout was when there wasnt an empty seat in the house. To me if you sold out all seats or at least 99% of all seats would be filled. Instead the stadium is sold out because every ticket is sold but that doesnt guarantee a butt is going to be sitting there. Its kinda like a dirty little half truth if you ask me. Yes im happy that all our tickets get sold. But how do you feel that the 300 sellout streak is one of the great highlights of our program, but in actuality not all seats are filled. That was what HuskerFowler (RIP) was getting at. It was his opinion and sorta mine that if you have a passionate fanbase that everyone would be diggin there claws to get into the stadium. I dont know how places like Penn State or Michigan do it, maybe its the same way. At least thats what i always thought how it worked when i heard sellout. Which is why i also thought it was impossible to get into the stadium for a game ever because hey everyone wants a ticket. I got my tickets for 20 bucks each last year so i know that guy had 1 extra ticket before kickoff. Call it what you want i guess, this thread has gone off the scale. Let the sellout continue and GBR.

 

I cant believe i came back and this was still up...WOW i cant believe how much time guys spend on here...anyway...

 

 

kinda what i was trying to say, just got really defensive and arguementative and didnt post very intelligently.. But some guys blew it way out of proportion as well. Im not going to read the last 4 pages of guys making fun of me. Some posters just didnt get it after i repeated over and over some one else would jump in and say the same stupid thing. " So if one person doesnt show up its not a sell out"

 

Of course i want our sell out streak to stay in tact and of course i know a sell out means all the tickets SOLD and of course i wouldnt want our sellout sreak to end if one seat was empty. I know thats how it works everywhere..im not 10.

 

Heres what a non sell out would be TO ME. If a certain percentage of fans dont show up for a "sellout" then it should be in question. Im not going to look up the max capacity everyone can use google, but from the games i have been to we are usually around 85k. So say if only 95 or some predetermined % doesnt show up i think it should be in question. Thats all im saying. Everyone try and think logically and imagine it doesnt have anything to do with the Huskers for second.

 

Again so theres no confusion i understand...ticket brokers..sold out..sell out...maximum capacity...tickets purchased...sold...ticket master...stubhub...and all that means...thats non what im saying at all. Common sense tells me that if there are still tickets available from a "broker" who i view as a middle man, then maybe it should be in question. And for the record im talking THOUSANDS of tickets guys.....not 10 15 or a hundred....a few thousand...enough to take max capacity down to 97 or 95% whatever.

 

If you can sit there for the SDSU game when the official count comes in and it reads 79,743 and its the 307 straight sellout, something doesnt add up. NOT saying that is going to happen for SDSU....just thinking logically. Its kind of like breaking a window as a kid and having enough of a moral obligation to do the right thing. All i know as if it was my personal record and i got it an "ify" way then i couldnt accept that, but thats me.

 

Again try not and think of it from a Husker fan point of few, and how im a troll and im trying to ruin the Huskers or something...really the Huskers have nothing to do with it, they just happen to be the example in this case, and it so happens we have the most sell outs in history so its a darn good example. I know our fans our the best and there are ALWAYS people that would want the tickets, and we will always be, and will always do what it takes to sell out.

 

But maybe just maybe it will sneak up on us (for a game like SDSU) and the count comes in really low...but all tickets are sold...still a sellout but only 90% showed up. I think people would question that. Just saying

 

This should get it to 10 pages.
