knapplc Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Nice piece in parting by Dubbs: What I'll miss about Nebraska We're saying goodbye to Nebraska on the blog today, and I took some time to list a few of the things I'll miss most about the Huskers. The fans. Easily No. 1 on my list. Huskers fans are everywhere. Home and away, I can't go anywhere on campus on a game weekend without running into Huskers fans. They e-mail endlessly. They know and love their team. As a group, they're what every fan base should aspire to be. Later down the list he mentions Lazlo's. At least he has his priorities in order. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 That is a pretty good list. Gave me chills thinking about game day in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Solid list from Ubbs, nothing better than a tunnel walk to get the old blood pumpin on a Saturday afternoon or evening. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The multi-turf at Memorial Stadium. I'm a sucker for it. Deal with it. It looks cool, and nobody else in the Big 12 has it. The two-toned turf has only been around a few years. But I really like it. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Lazlo's is the best... Quote Link to comment

The two-toned turf has only been around a few years. But I really like it. a few? or like almost 10? i didnt care for it at first, but i love it now. it says, hey, we got fake turf and were not gonna hide it, and we might as well have some reserved fun with it. im seriously asking here. i think it has been longer than a few years tho.

druski_2k5 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Personally, I like the one shade dark green color the most, or alternating shades of 10 yards. We've had Field Turf since 1999. However, it's been multi-colored shade of every 5 yards since 2005. Quote Link to comment
dergibog Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Not a bad list, but it's Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project. Eye in the Sky has lyrics "I am the eye in the sky, looking at you, I can read your mind" Kind of a mellow tune, doesn't really get you pumped up for anything. The turf is actually a throwback to the 60's. The grass back then was different shades of green every five yards, like now. My grandpa and I argued how they got it that way. I said they planted different kinds of grass. He insisted it was just the direction it was mowed. (Somebody used to mow the Memorial Stadium grass. Wow, think about that!) We never did find out. If we had ever just walked over to the West Stadium and checked to see if the colors were opposite it would have proved him right. Lazlo's is good, the steaks are good, but the beer is better. 1 Quote Link to comment

mmmtodd Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 exactly. we play with it, classy style. i think some of you misunderstood me. its fake and we know it, but we "mow it" like its real. Quote Link to comment

It's all in the mowing. It's the same as golf courses. Quote Link to comment

That red turf looks like fire, and I wish it really was on fire. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I don't care what a lot of folks say about it, but Eastern Washington's red outlined with the black looks pretty badass. Reminds meof the fields I used to create on NCAA Football back in the college days. And it beats the crap out of Boise's Quote Link to comment
