Husker Widows?

Just wondering if any of you are in my position. I love Husker football... love it to the point that I get angry when we lose. My wife doesn't get it and it actually led to a big fight. I was talking to my sister on the phone when OU got away with those three holding calls on that TD run. I smashed the phone down in anger... I think i threw a Spree (candy) into the fireplace.

How can I get it across to her that it's not me... it's Husker football :)

my dad was like that too. stormed around the house with a p*ssed at the world when Nebraska lost.

he's mellowed with age. he just throws his hands-up and walks away from the TV when the silly stuff starts happening. ebay calms him down, too.

this season, he's been doing a *lot* of ebaying.

Almost the opposite for me. My husband will watch a game now with us, but there was a day he could have cared less. Being an Air Force child, I guess he didn't get to pick a favorite team. One time while we were dating, I wanted to watch the NU game, and he got mad and went out to sit on the porch! (He sat a long time...........!) Have you ever taken your wives to a game? MIght change their minds. Maybe they would see what we see!

My dad was like that too, floor stomping, yelling, tv tray throwing. You just get used to it. He is a lot more mellow now that they don't win as much and there are no expectations.
