Sellout Streak in 2021

Funny. Was just talking to my dad over the weekend. This is probably our last season getting tickets.

End it. 

 

[FrantzHardySwag]

I mean a year after no fans, this was a lay-up to sell out every game. People itching to go to stuff. 

 

[BigRedBuster]

End it. 

Why?

 

[Cdog923]

Why?

It's the last vestige of a bygone era, one that fans hold onto like a baby holds onto a security blanket to comfort them when they are scared, as if the sellout streak (which hasn't really been a streak at all thanks to some wealthy boosters consistently buying up tickets at the last minute) still makes the program relevant in any sort of way. 

Sorry to be so harsh on a Wednesday morning, but it is what it is.

So you would rather Nebraska fans just give up?  No thank you.  I would personally like to see it continue and plan to take the kids to as many games as I can.

So, you want it to end because you're tired of fans being proud of it.  That's odd.

It's a weird thing to be proud of, that's all. This, and internet polls.

IDK, wanting to end something unique and cool that lots of people enjoy because you're mad that others aren't as narcissistic as you seems like way bigger baby behavior to me.

It's sports. It's supposed to be fun. Let people enjoy things instead of needing to do some weird performative punishment.

There are exactly zero benefits to it ending, what a weird take.

 

[JoeHuskers!]

I can only imagine the headlines if it ended, it would be YUGE news and everyone would be talking about "how far Nebraska has fallen" (more than they already do anyway)

 

[Redux]

Already lost the NFL draft streak

Haven't had a conference title in over 20 years

No division titles since 2012

Can't beat supposed new rivals

Yeah....let's cancel the last thing we have to get excited about  :facepalm:

You just named two of the three things that fans have direct control over. Donations being the third.

Nebraska remaining a loyal fanbase even though this program has largely been trash for 10 years and irrelevant for 10 before that, I don't understand the "End the streak" crowd at all.  Like THAT'S what will turn us around?   :dunno
