Fan Buy In

[Ulty]

Glad people are checked out on 2019 when it's still happening. Honestly I don't get it. Must be pretty miserable.

Yes, it has been miserable. Extremely miserable. If I could find a word to rhyme with miserable I would write a little poem for you to express how miserable it has been. But nothing else rhymes with miserable.

Pitiful.

Glad people are checked out on 2019 when it's still happening.

Is there some other option in your mind where you can check out on something once it's over?

I am still engaged. Frustrated at losing? Absolutely, but I still watch every game from start to finish. Minnesota and Ohio State were brutally painful, but I watched it. 

With the losing though, the really frustrating part is the accumulativeness over the last couple of seasons of putting aside so many other things to watch these games and seeing the losses. This is on me, but also goes with my fandom, but I have put watching Nebraska football as such a high priority that I have put aside other things and commitments. So we lose, and by Saturday night I am thinking, "I Should have done such and such instead."

The one positive of our crappiness over the past decade: I am able to continue watching other games after a Husker loss. Years ago a loss would have me go on a CFB watching hiatus for the remainder of the day

I'm engaged and willing to give Frost the benefit of the doubt for now.  The offensive woes this year were totally unexpected but may well be an anomaly.

Far beyond the end of my patience with Chinander.  That thing isn't working and there isn't any good evidence it ever will.

Here's where I'm at: I'm excited for Nebrasketball at this point.

Minnesota and Ohio State were brutally painful, but I watched it.

Now that's a fan.  :bang

Have a feeling we win out to make this the most confusing season ever. 

(Yea, J/k)

About fan buy ins, Joe Burrow’s father and two brothers played for Nebraska but went to LSU- one of top QBs in the country.  Apparently, he did not buy in as a fan.

 Joe Burrow’s father and two brothers played for Nebraska but went to LSU

This seems like an infraction...and a logistical nightmare.

Sometimes I wish I could check out, but I make it like 2 days and then I'm back.

Same man. It's quite the cycle. 

 

[CalhounHusker]

He went to tOSU and stayed for 3 years.

Then grad transferred to LSU

He grew up in Ohio and graduated high school in Ohio.

We didn't really have a chance with him anyway.

Didn’t have a chance? 



 Guess you didn’t see this where we showed 0 interest.

It turned out well for Burrow and LSU, which is awesome.....especially for Burrow.

But he didn't win the job at Ohio State and Frost had a quarterback plan in place.

It would have been awesome, especially from a legacy perspective had he become a Husker.  But let's be happy for Burrow.  It worked out well for him.
