It usually seems like the spring game attendence numbers reflect the last game/ bowl game/offseason....obviously. With us falling low of expectations in the last year, I can see lower numbers.

 

The one I can't get my head around, is the 2000 spring game.

 

We were coming off of the 1999 season, a season in which we could have [read: should have] won a National Championship had we not had a case of the fumbles that year. 1999 was the last year we beat Texas*, the last time we won a conference title, and we dominated in the Fiesta Bowl against Tennessee, and clearly was the best team playing at the end of the 1999-2000 year. I truly believe we would have won the National Title if we had a chance to get in like we should have been.

 

Crouch was going to be a Junior, Newcombe and Davison were going to be Seniors, Tracey Wistrom was coming onto the scene, we had a solid backfield with Buckhalter, Miller, Diedrick and Alexander, Dominic Raiola and Toniu Finoti were on the line, Carlos Polk was going to be a Senior, Charlie McBride retired so we would see a new defensive coordinator in Craig Bohl. What was not to get excited about?

 

We were going to Notre Dame that year, going to Norman to go against Bob Stoops, who was recently hired the year before, and going to Kansas State to get revenge from the 1998 game there, Iowa was coming to town, and coming off of Frank's best team, yet attendence was still extremely low. I don't know what gives. The weather maybe? But even then most people buy tickets ahead of time or walk in at the front for the start.

 

Maybe people thought we should have won the national title and we didn't so attendence was down.

So what's the situation if the Spring Game is cancelled? Stupid weather.

Is cancelling the Spring Game evn a possibility? I'm driving from MN to go to it and just checked the forecast. Doesn't look too pretty... Bummer.

I've never bought tickets the day of the game. Do I still go to the ticket office across the street west of the stadium?

Yes.

Yea I'd say attendance was down this year, just as I predicted might I add.

Still will have higher attendance than Wisconsin though.

Some "fans" have different views of what it is to be a Fan- to me it is short for "fanatic" so if someone will not go to the game because they don't want to spend a few dollars- I have a different name for those folks- no longer will I consider them band wagon fans, they are just cheap arse fans-

 

Hmmm, I am a cheap arse fan because I won't drive 8 hrs one way to watch the game. Good to know, I will start taking my Husker stuff of my wall and Truck window. Oh, and I might as well give up my season tickets along with the others.
