I'm going to the game Saturday and I'm going to yell my ass off

[knapplc]

Sounds like lots of people are ditching their tickets for the Michigan State game. The season is a shambles, Sparty is a top-ten team, Nebraska is an underdog at home and half the team is injured. There doesn't seem to be much to cheer for, at least not for most people.

 

The fact is, we don't pay good money for these tickets to watch our team get demolished. Husker fans know good football when they see it, and we're not seeing it this year. The coaches know it, the players know it. There's a mood of gloom surrounding nearly everything about this program.

 

Some people are ditching their tickets, unwilling to watch a game that looks like a sure rout. I'm going with a buddy, and I've tried to sell my regular tickets, but nobody's buying. Odd, considering that Sparty, at least, is a good program.

 

I understand why people don't want to go to the game. It's disheartening to watch bad football. If I got served a poorly-cooked meal at a restaurant, I'd send it back to the kitchen. If it happened over and over, I'd stop going to that restaurant.

 

I'll be honest: I think Nebraska's going to get slaughtered. Michigan State is as-advertised, and overall a much better team. Nebraska seems to be crumbling, the howls of outrage at the coaches and players are deafening.

 

So, why am I going, and why will I be cheering like we're in the thick of the divisional race?

 

If this team is going to the gallows this weekend, condemned to their worst record in 50 years, the very least I can do is show them that they're not alone. It sucks for us as fans, and it sucks for them.

 

But I'm not going to abandon them. And I'm going to show those recruits visiting this game that despite a crap season, despite a slaughter on the field, despite what looks like pretty chilly weather for the game, at least some fans are still with the Huskers.

 

I don't believe Husker Football is done being a national power. I don't believe this is the beginning of the end. I believe this is an aberration, and we'll come back from this worst of seasons.

 

I don't know if these coaches are the right coaches, or these players are the right players, or the direction we're going is the right direction. I just know the team needs my support.

 

So that's what I'm going to do.

November 21 can't get here soon enough.

 

NU takes on Wyoming. That will be a Husker event worth watching

[RedSavage]

Couldn't agree more. As much as I'm not thrilled about likely watching us get curb stomped in person, this team needs us (fans) now more than ever.

If I could go to the game I would. I will be yelling and screaming at my tv instead, on every single play. I think your bolded statement inspired me. If we are going down, might as well go down screaming and yelling the whole way.

[STL Husker]

We may be sinking, but I won't be one of the reasons why. I won't be there this week, but I will be for Iowa.

Amen brother. We'll be there as there as well. This is our house. This is our team. They need us.

[True2tRA]

I think I'm going. Should be fun. I never was one to bail out during the hardest times. I'm not real bright.

 

Funny thought. What if we win? I mean, this is football. This is a home game. It'd be one of the biggest wins in Memorial Stadium in years and I would get to say that I was there.

[GSG]

Knapp, I want you to really think about this: If you yell your ass off, what will you sit on?!

 

 

I'll be watching at home, while my MSU-fan girlfriend enjoys her team's victory

I don't sit at Husker games.

I'm planning on going to the Iowa game. Even if we lose to Sparty and Rutgers, I want to be there if we ruin the Hawkeyes undefeated season.

[QMany]

I'll be there cheering right along side you, knapplc. Let me know if you want to swing by the tailgate for a beer.

How awesome would that be! Coincidentally, the last Top-10 opponent to fall at Memorial Stadium was ... #9 Michigan State in 2011. It would probably mark the biggest win since we blew out #7 Missouri in 2010.

I've been planning to go to the Iowa game. I've been to a lopsided loss before and still had fun (Mizzou - the game in which they brought in Gabbert late so we at least could root for our guys to hit him). My last two games have been the last two Black Friday losses to Minnesota and Iowa.

[cg_8]

You bet your ass (that you will yell off) that I'll be there yelling too!!

 

I'll be there, I'm probably a bit more excited about the game than I should be. November game under the lights!?

I love it!

 

GBR!!

I lived in Lansing for the last 5 years ( just moved to Pittsburgh recently) and have a lot of friends who are MSU fans including the football and basketball team docs, so beating sparty would go along way in salvaging this season for me. Hopefully this doesn't get ugly like these big games were during Pelini's tenure.
