Nebraska fan puts on holier than thou hat on high horse to tell Anyone within earshot how great we are to opponents.

Proceeds to be complete asshat to opposing fan on the internet.

Achieves par for the course.

Is this directed at me? Bc Ive never once mentioned how great we are to opponents. In fact I ignore opposing fans when I see them in Lincoln, just like I said in my post. And I think the compliments by opposing fans thread is stupid.

While your opinion may the minority view, I completely agree with you. I don't see why Nebraska fans go out of their way to be nice to others. We should strive to make our home field a hostile environment where opponents dread playing in. The other team, not their fans, are our friends. They want to destroy us on our home field. We live in a dog-eat-dog world these days where we should utilize the competitive atmosphere to intimidate our opponents, not make them feel welcomed. Not saying we need to go out of our way to fight every visiting fan/player, but there is no reason to be nice to them. However, this is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth. Maybe, I'm just spiteful after living in Chicago for so many years.

Glad this is not a night game. Wisconsin at night brings back bad memories.

The fans are there to watch a football game. They have nothing to do with the outcome of the game. The way I look at them is, they are on vacation. I wouldn't want someone messing with me when Im on vacation. But at the same time, I bought this beer and food so stay away from my tailgate unless I know you. Buy your own beer and food.

But I agree with treating the opposing TEAM with hostility. Make it intimidating for them, not their fans.

Then it clearly wasn't directed at you then, right?

We're frenimies, man.

Wasn't sure when you didn't quote anyone directly. Thanks for the clarification.

Fans may not directly affect the outcome of the game, but they have the possibility to indirectly affect the outcome of the game. For example, let the opposing fans feel welcomed may make them feel more welcomed to cheer at the games. In a close game, after a momentum shifting play in favor of our opponents, they may not be as worried or feel as much as an outsider to cheer for their team, even though they are sitting among Nebraska fans. When the opposing team acknowledges these cheers they may feel support and play better. To say fans have no impact on the game is silly, because if not then what is the fuss over home field advantage. As you've stated the best way to approach this situation, is to ignore the opposing fans...

Home field advantage as a whole is quite overrated. Opposing fans should not expect to be treated like royalty but they deserve to not have crap tossed on them or become dead or assaulted. Other than that, fair game

Away fans at places like Nebraska and Wisconsin have an impact on a game? Lets say there are 5,000 opposing fans that make the trip. There are high schools that get more fans than that. If 5,000 fans impact the way our team performs at home, then we've got other problems to worry about.

Teams being equal, statiscally home field advantage doesn't yield as big as advantage as it's made out to be. I get ridiculed for this here but it doesn't make it less true.
