Hi-res photos of visitors section/side at Northwestern?

[knapplc]

I had on a red hoodie and a white cap turned backwards. Front of the hoodie was a giant red N. We sat in about the middle of the section. The only gripe I had about those seats were the poles that hold up their net were in our way a bunch.

So does this make Northwestern the Baylor of the B1G...you know, sans the incompetency, the tarp covering half the stadium, and a town that is actually worth visiting?

The "you" in the following statements is a generic you for any fan base.

Stadiums you should always be able to take over: Indiana, Northwestern

Stadiums you might be able to take over: Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota

Stadiums you should never be able to take over but you still can: Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State

Stadiums you will never take over: Nebraska, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Penn State

I've been to every UM game since 1977 and Michigan Stadium has never been "taken over". You Bucknuts are delusional.

I make no apologies for my admiration of Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald. He's a nimble thinker, a nice blend of football old school and new school and he runs his program with class and dignity. Plus, he knows how to win ballgames at a place that actually puts student before athlete.

But even the constantly positive Fitzgerald must have done a double take when he saw the Ryan Field crowd of 47,330 this past Saturday. There were Nebraska fans everywhere. If you didn't know any better, you would have thought it was Memorial Stadium Jr.

Red seemingly outnumbered purple. And if it didn't, it was close. So loud were the Nebraska fans, that Northwestern had to use a silent count on its final (and failed) drive. I repeat: a silent count because the visiting team's fans were too loud.

"We didn't prepare for that all week," said Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter to the Chicago Tribune.

Nebraska fans are legendarily loyal. If the Cornhuskers had a game in Irkutsk, Nebraska fans would figure out a way to get there.

Chicago is a Nebraska alum stronghold, so a large Big Red turnout wasn't a surprise. But according to Nebraska officials, Northwestern provided the Cornhuskers with 5,000 tickets for sale (as opposed to the usual Big Ten allotment of 3,000). So that means Nebraska fans were able to find another 15,000-20,000 tickets through secondary markets (Wildcats fans selling their tickets online) or, said Northwestern officials, by buying Wildcats season-ticket packages.

"Nebraska fans are pretty resourceful getting tickets," said a Cornhuskers athletic department spokesperson.

That's fine. But if you're Fitzgerald and you've poured your guts into building a program, how depressing is it to know that Nebraska fans might have outnumbered Northwestern fans.

Attendance for the Nebraska game was a season high for the Wildcats. The next closest was 33,129 for the Sept. 29 Indiana game.

Iowa comes to Ryan Field on Saturday. Or will it be Kinnick Stadium East?

There will never be a Kinnick East.........

To that ESPN article - we had Northwestern tickets. I'm sure everyone in our section had them. The visitor's section was up on the balcony to our left and all the way in the far NE section of their horseshoe.

I would have liked to have seen our cheerleaders move around the stadium some. There were easily more Husker fans on the bottom of the horseshoe than NW fans.

Iowa has a great travelling fan base - remember how the refs used to call delay of game penalties on the crowds for being too loud? Iowa fans got one on the road once. Also tore down the goalposts at Minnesota.

I just have a problem with anyone being flamed or insulted out of misinformation - and since that seems to happen a lot to Iowa around here, it's easy to make that mistake If everyone was unnecessarily and falsely ragging on any other school I'd do the same thing.

All Michigan fans smell like plain Cheerios.

Let them be, thats their most endearing characteristic.

Found a pretty good one at Hail Varsity too:

Check this out. After the game, all the Husker fans are still there....

If you touch it, it'll get bigger...
