Noise at Memorial Stadium (I mean you, season ticket holders)

Nebraska has a lot more "older" fans than most programs out there

You know these older fans were young once. Cheering loudly....have given most of their lives to the University.......their hard earned savings and time. They built the program, we are reaping the benefits of their efforts. You know when we sucked.

 
I can only tell you what it looks like on TV. The last game was electric! Booing your own 20-year-old players is just unacceptable (OSU game). Earlier in the year, much of the crowd just sat on their hands. The camera scanned the crowd, and they were just sitting there, even after big plays.

 
People keep complaining about booing in one game, but ever since that one instance of booing they have turned into a different team.

Guess I am a blue hair........since I am 55? Anyway, I took my 80 year old Mom to the game last week. She was a bit slower going up to row 71, (thanks to the younger guy who put his arm through hers and walked with us). Just for the record.....she also stood most of the game and cheered until she was hoarse. Interesting that a guy in front of us thanked 3 senior citizens for being the base of our fans. He said they are the foundation for the tradition that we have. Not sure how many more Mother-Daughter football weekends we will have together, but I am proud to be a part of the blue hairs! We love our Big Red as much, or maybe more than you youngins!

 
Mo Fan,

Are you suggesting a cause and effect relationship between your booing and success for the Huskers?! Like you just gave them the proper motivation they needed?

We all stick together in all kinds of weather. Classy Husker fans don't boo the opposition, let alone our own men.

 
There needs to be an age limit. No more silverbacks and blue hairs in the stadium. Maybe we need to sell tequila at the stadium as well :)

 
The students need to be moved closer to the field.. They are the loudest, take advantage of it
