Roundball Shaman Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Husker fans for many generations know about the love the State has for the Husker footballers. It’s been a long-standing tradition for young Nebraska kids to dream to play for the Huskers as soon as they can hold on to a football. Many of them have gone on to become Huskers and fulfill their dream. In states like Illinois and others that don’t have a sustained great football program, that feeling is missing. Few if any kids in Illinois “dream” of playing for the Illini football team. While the state continues to produce great individual talent, they go off to other, more successful programs to pursue their dream. Husker fans are dealing with lingering frustration and longing for getting back to the elite Top Ten level again. That desire is in the DNA of the Cornhusker State. But with games against teams like Illinois, they serve as a reminder to all of how fortunate and lucky Nebraskans are to have a great winning legacy and passionate fans who really care about the team. So many schools - many of them major names - don’t have that and miss out on all that fun and tradition. Generations lost. It’s tough to build a winning tradition. It’s even tougher to stay up at that level. You can count on one hand the college programs that have been able to do that and keep up that high level for many decades. Sometimes, it’s just good to step back and say... thank (the great Power of your choice) for Nebraskans and Huskers’ football. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
