Spring game

R

Red November

Special Teams Player
In 1986, approximately 73,000 fans showed up for the Orange and White game at TU.

By breaking this record, we will surely get some kind of media coverage nation wide, in my opinion.

And doing this after a 5-6 season (one I can deal with as I see where we're going and why it was best to throw our option players headfirst into learning the WCO ASAP) will send a message to the nation that there are no fans like Husker fans in college football.

Should impress even more recruits!

Here's the link to the attendance record.

With the construction going on, can we fit that many in??

 
I believe he meant there would only be around 50,000 at most for the 2005 Spring Game. No where did he say he didn't believe the 61,000+ number for the 2004 Spring Game.

 
3 reasons why the red white game might draw more fans this year than last...

1) Intriguing QB battle between Zac and JD. Husker fans want to know who is better and will come to find out.

2) No bowl game this year. Huskers fans will take any action they can get after the extra long wait because of not making a bowl this year.

3) Importance to recruiting. BC has done a great job of emphasizing throughout the year how important it was to have 60,000+ fans at last year’s game. Many of the recruits have also mentioned this as a reason they signed. Husker fans will come out in support of recruiting as much as to see the game.

The Gimp has spoken.
