As someone who knows what its like to live and work around both Husker fan and chuckeye wannabe fan, its a no brainer HUSKER FAN ALL THE WAY. Iowa fans sure talk a good talk....they do NOT walk a very good walk. For example, I had to attend an I-Club event this past summer for work. Worst three plus hours of my life (that includes the 5-6 debacle and the 93 orange bowl officials screwjob). They're extremely cheap about giving financially. I saw stuff going at the action/silent action that would have gone for at least two to five times higher in Nebraska. They bragged the whole time about how great fans they are, yadda, yadda, yadda. I couldn't get drunk fast enough or find a trash can to puke it.
They're bandwagonish at best. I remember hawk fans this season bragging how they'd sold out kinnick somethin like 20 times in a row this year and were going to be sold out season ticket basis for the first time ever...Unhuh, yeah, not the least bit impressed chuckeye fan. when you sell out kinnick against all the ball state's, uni's and northwestern's for 40 years in a row you can flap your trap. until then - SHUT UP! You are not the best fans in the region, country and hell even in your own state!
Sure they travel well, but so do the Skers. Besides, usually by mid december 3/4 of iowa and nebraska folk are ready for someplace to defrost.
The Chuckeyes at best a single a level, maybe double a compared with those who are chozen members of husker nation.
Their potential basketball civil war involving alford's status as coach will be as messy if not more so than the solich war.
Remember Husker faithful, we are the BEST fans no ifs, ands or buts about it. Our gameday experiences blow just about everyone else's out of the water, especially the chuckeyes. Our stadium kicks Kinnick's, specially with the new north stadium jumbotron going in. our new football facilities will blow iowa's completely out of the water, besides the fact that all our facilities kick the holy crap out of iowa's to begin with. shoot, even the devaney center with its recent upgrades kicks the snot out of carver-chuckeye.
ok, sorry about the rant, just an old husker stuck in hawkeye hell venting. can't wait til saturday when i walk into carver-chuckeye to watch a bad arizona state men's basketball team pound the chuckeyes while i'll be proudly wearing my cornhusker red in support of our volleyball team doing something iowa hasn't done in any sport recently - win a national championship!!! Eat that chuckeyes.
GO BIG RED!!! :restore2
