Haspula Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Iowa State may be a better fanbase. They are continually a laughing stock in nearly every sport but their fans still show up, that is dedication. Do they even any fans? Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well, let me ammend that. He's not going anywhere if he's willing to make changes on defense, specifically getting an experienced D coordinator and letting him do his job. If he's not willing to do that, the chances of him leaving go up. His comments are a non factor. Well, then. That's quite the hedge from "he's not going anywhere." Not at all. Because my original comment was regarding your OP in starting this thread...which was entirely based on his comments. As I said, his comments will be a non factor, and he's not going anywhere because of them. Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Texas A&M has polite fans for the most part, great traditions, treat you fairly well But with a school with about 50,000 students- it failed for many many years to sell out HUge alumni base, numbers wise in a state with over 20,000,000 people, Houston 90 minutes away So when you look at it closer, not really in same ballpark as NU fans Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Notre Dame, definitely. Â Thousands of their fans were polite enough to give up their seats when Nebraska came to play so every Cornhusker fan would have somewhere to sit. It felt as if Nebraska was at home... 3 Quote Link to comment

irafreak Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Are we really asking this question? It's obvious that every SEC school has the best fans, football teams, coaches, players, girls.... Quote Link to comment
Goal-line Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Too bad for you he's not going anywhere. We'll see, eh? It might not be after this year . . . but soon enough. Â I like the taste of your tears. That is very strange thing to say. Yes, extremely disturbing! Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 We are the best fans because we a) Travel so well b) Are welcoming to opposing fans c) Knowledgeable about our team   That label, IMO, was never because we didn't get down on the Huskers or get mad etc........ The Callahan years were the first I can remember folks leaving early for reasons other than getting the last Runza, Vals or to beat traffic.  Twitter, Facebook, this site and other social media allows (sometimes makes) us say or have the ability to say things that do not shine brightly on that Greatest Fan Moniker. Remember TO almost left for CU. Had social media been around he might have. I know I yelled many a Sat watching us lose to OU or blow a bowl game. I consider myself a great fan, win, lose or draw. It doesn't mean I don't get pi$$ed, want guys fired, players benched etc...... Quote Link to comment
WhatDoIKnow Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not sure how they treat visitors, but LSU fans are pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Are we really asking this question? It's obvious that every SEC school has the best fans, football teams, coaches, players, girls.... Â Agreed. There's no question. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think OSU has some very loyal fans anyone see how they took over Cal's stadium on Saturday. That doesn't mean they are the nicest fans though. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 http://farm1.static...._ac33faa519.jpg  I really wish I could have been at that game. Amazing game too. Quote Link to comment
AgMarauder04 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 What the hell does "the best" mean?  Best at Selling Out the stadium? Nebraska Best at getting kicked out of their own stadium? Colorado Best at leaving when they are losing? Texas Loudest and Drunkest? LSU Most Polite? Tie- A&M and Nebraska Best Student Section- A&M Best at throwing goal posts and tortillas? Texas Tech Best at poisoning trees? Alabama  We could go on and on 2 Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thoughts? I can't really think of any. Our sellout records, our traveling fans, the commentary from fans of opposing teams, etc. seem to indicate that we are second to none. Â But I'm sure that Pelini will find a fanbase more to his liking at his next coaching stop. Green Bay Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have watched a 30 year old man burn a Husker t-shirt on his back patio after the VT game in Blacksburg and the continue to actually CRY and bemoan about "when will something good happen to us?" This is not a definition of "the greatest fan" (although he thought he was the best) and I truly believe that is where many of our "inter-fan" divisions come from. I watch every game possible, in person when I can. But I can't watch at a bar or with most of my "friends" because they are the "fanatic" fan that Bo complains about. For every one positive they will find 10 negatives. I understand that is my small group and I like everything else about them, but these nutjobs do exist! Quote Link to comment
