Friday

[WisnerPilger Husker]

Last weeks game is over and it is time to get ready for Friday, we are on TV. Let's pull together and show the nation how loud our stadium can get and how we do support our Huskers!!!!

11 am after T-giving after a 28 pt drubbing.

Be happy if the stadium is full by kick-off.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

But, I am a realist.

Yeah I would be very surprised if the student section is over 2/3 full.

Memorial will be full. It always is.

Memorial will be full. It always is.

am i hearing reason to be concerned about the sellout streak?

 

[jimk]

Is the sellout streak in jeopardy? :ahhhhhhhh

 

[Omaha-Husker]

It will be the only game I go to this season so I'm going to be plenty loud.

Sellout streak is not dependent on attendance.

1 person can show up, but ALL the tickets are SOLD officially. Sell-out streak continues.

BC put this theory to a test, but even he couldn't break it.

Welp, there goes the tradition and what not. Man, this next recruiting class is REALLY gonna suck now. Might as well put a basketball court in the middle of Memorial, probably draw more of a crowd...

I probably should add, for the new members: I was commenting "tongue in cheek" with regards to an old thread about the sellout streak!!!

My unscientific theory is that more NU staff/locals/old people keep or get tickets for this game. NU staff and faculty, despite their protestations are not loud. Old people, though a few are loud, are mostly of the "Sit down, there is no need to keep standing between plays" variety.

A few years ago I headed to this after T-giving game my usual 90 or so minutes before kick-off. There WAS NO traffic. It was so eerilly empty on the road (I lived in Lincoln at the time), I had a panic attack because I thought that I got the kick-off time wrong somehow. I tuned in and heard Greg Sharpe doing pre-game. Whew.

But, people were still filing into their seats far later than usual.

It's an inside joke. This is the thread they are mocking.
