Frustrated Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Couple of thoughts. I watched the replay and saw as many late hits out of bounds committed by our guys as the plays many of us have been complaining about, among other non-calls. More importantly, as a fan base, we need to quit the charade. We need to stop telling everyone how great we are as fans. We're not. We're not different or smarter or better than any other passionate fan base and it seems hypocritical that we tell everyone that we are. Fact: we don't clap for the opponent if they come to our house and beat us. We don't. So, the fact that we do when they lose is not just stupid, it's classless and offensive. Can we just admit that? Be honest with ourselves? We are a passionate fan base and are desperate for a championship. But, we aren't better than any other fan base. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 To be fair, I think when people talk about Nebraska fans being the "greatest fans" I think they're mostly just talking about me. Quote Link to comment

Is being patently nice and humble a charade? Besides, it is written that "Through these gates. . . " therefore it must be true. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Fact: we don't clap for the opponent if they come to our house and beat us. We don't. Lies. We do. Every single time. Win or lose, the fans always applaud the opposing team as it exits the field. Nebraska fans really are the nicest fans ever 2 Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Fact: we don't clap for the opponent if they come to our house and beat us. We don't. So, the fact that we do when they lose is not just stupid, it's classless and offensive. Can we just admit that? Be honest with ourselves? First you say we don't, then you say we do. I'm sure we could be more honest with ourselves if we knew which one you wanted us to be honest with ourselves about. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah..... I would rather be part of a fan base that yells profanity and throws things at the opposing fans, players and coaches. Not. Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dude, I have been to so many losses I'm starting to lose track. We clap for the opponents, win or lose. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dude, I have been to so many losses I'm starting to lose track. We clap for the opponents, win or lose. How about you don't attend any more home games.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Wait, I'm confused. Do we clap for the opponent after the games or not? DO WE? Quote Link to comment
