HuskerShark Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 haha the one that said that Bo is an A-hole. I agree, but man I love that a$$ho!e haha Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We need to post people with shot guns at the gates to prevent people from leaving at half time...there is NO excuse for that. That makes us look like band wagon fans at best. I leave at half-time every game to walk around Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Agreed with the comments on the crowd noise. Those other stadiums have 20,000 more people than we do, and better architecture to hold it in. Seriously, if you just look at the Shoe vs. Memorial, they're virtually the same stadium, except OSU's is way bigger: [ Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The first post nailed the post game radio. I'd love to listen to it, but there are honestly - no joke - more commercials than quality content. It is a joke, and a shame, because I know a lot of people that would like to listen but get fed up after 10 minutes and turn it off. Quote Link to comment
GBRsal Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 i like slipping out at halftime for a beer with my old college buddies. my seats are north endzone and they are all in the south. Quote Link to comment
Ringer02 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Most of that's fair but some were really hating on memorial, I wonder if that impression will change after the expansion. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I agree with the band. They need to get something going. Break the monotony every now and then. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The 3 reviews seem to be genuine and accurate. Based on what I had heard about various B1G teams prior to the last 2 games I thought possibly OSU might have some nasty fans and that Wiscy fans might be a little more hospitable. I stand corrected on both. Out of all of them Neb may be most like OSU. BTW the 180 spur does basically end at the stadium. I do have to strongly disagree with the guy that ripped on our band. It might be hard for a visitor with no Neb background to fully appreciate our tradional pregame but no way in hell you can say our band is bad. Dotting the 'i' has no meaning for me either.

tschu Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hey, they got the band part right. Our band is absolutely awful. Quote Link to comment
HuskerDens Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 While I enjoy our band and certainly don't think they're awful... they don't seem to be especially amazing either. I have no clue what they can change, but there just doesn't seem to be anything unique about the experience. Wisconsin sent portions of their band to play at various entrances and in front of sections in the second half to keep the entertainment going, which I thought was pretty cool and a nice change.

It's all about tradition. If Tony Falcone changed anything about the band, all the blue hairs would be up in arms about it. Trust me, all the band members want to make everything about the band more exciting. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I didn't realize a world-class band was a prereq for this conference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just because they aren't as flashy as the other B1G bands, it doesn't make them bad. Musically, we have one of the best bands in the country. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 ^^ bingo Ever since we got those gIgantic freaking jumbotrons which I like for many reasons, our band, crowd , and general feel of fan interaction and spontaneous outbreaks of support and unity of crowd...it's mostly gone. But when the team rises up and gives the crowd a reason the get nuts, memorial can still get nuts. Quote Link to comment

It is a joke, and a shame, because I know a lot of people that would like to listen but get fed up after 10 minutes and turn it off. Oh yeah, it's terrrrrible. And they're all soybean drops. I know that we're an ag state, but... yeesh. Might as well have some overall and manure spreader commercials in there, too. And it's: "We're here with Coach Bo Pelini, and for a winning team with tradition like the Huskers, Cargil Soybean and Corn. Tractors implements and irrigation. Hay bailer. Combine auger front loader backhoe windrow. Back after these messages from Conagra." I often shut it off-- especially when he's trying to sound serious and somber and keeps dropping ads for pig feed and chicken rapers. Quote Link to comment
