74Hunter Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 We took a trip to Denver a year or so ago. I got flipped off randomly 4 times just drivin around. Wife asks why? I say it's simple. We have Nebraska plates. We had been in the Big10 2 years already. It's really quite comical. The overall infatuation is incredible. I'm a really crappy driver. Fixed it for you I don't have any problems here in Colorado. They're all mostly consumed by their pro teams. I think it was worse when I was going to college in Iowa BEFORE we even moved to the B1G. I got sh#t all time for wearing Husker gear. ) There really isn't any difference between Iowa, Missouri, and Colorado fans. All the same peas in a pod. Their teams all wear some variation of gold , piss yellow, and black. All are jealous as hell of Nebraska and our team, and have severe little brother syndrome. All are pretty horrible fan bases. You can throw in Iowa state fans, too. 3 Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 One game I attended at Missouri included the Missouri student section pulling Lil' Red halfway into the stands and beating on him. The second half was a parade of Mizzou students being escorted out by campus security. That's tough to beat. That's why they were all getting escorted out? I di not know that. LMAO!!

This is why I want Mizzou in the Big Ten, reclaim their rightful place as our beach. Quote Link to comment

I think the escorting out probably had more to do with the alcohol consumption and other assorted tomfoolery with the assault of Lil' Red being the most glaring offense. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 If only someone woulda poked a hole and killed that damn thing, my opinion of Mizzou fans would totally have redeemed itself.. It woulda been a "hey, they are good for somethin" kinda a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 For me it's Iowa fans, low class, loud mouthed, beat their chests having done nothing to deserve that, annoying, classless, the list goes on and on. I really don't care about your little team Iowa fan. GFY..... 1 Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 It's really quite comical. The overall infatuation is incredible. So is the infatuation with justifying our fandom and the mocking of others. I truly do not understand why so many people have to do it. We're. Nebraska, let's just focus on fixing us Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 When we went to Michigan in 2011 a group of Michigan fans in our section was thrown out for throwing things at Husker fans but overall Michigan wasn't bad. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 We partied with Michigan fans at the bars in Ann Arbor and then sat in their student section for the game. We didn't get bothered once and they all were super friendly. I'd go back again for sure. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska, let's just focus on fixing us I think the infatuation was directed at their hate towards us, not their infatuation with their team. Fanbases beating on our mascot is justifiable to mock them. Fanbases throwing things at others is justifiable to mock them. Sorry, this discussion has nothing to do with Bo or our programs direction.

HuskerNationNick Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I live in Iowa, Des Moines to be exact, car has never been vandalized. I also wear Husker gear all the time, never get heckled. Same when I go to Ames for work. As for Iowa City, I have been there numerous times, been to the bars (which is quite amazing). Never had an issue. My truck also has a Huskers front plate, which you would think would be ripped off, but never touched. I did get the occasional remark about losing to them, but you have to expect that ANYWHERE you go, if your outside of your college state. Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 My family moved to Olympia, Washington in '90. It wasn't easy growing up there, '97/'98 helped a little. It took until my last few years out there that I met a Husky fan that wasn't a prick about Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
