Five-Star Recruit
It was more than just Tom Osborne. Check the letters written to your own local papers from fans who had terrible experiences. The stories are plentiful from other Nebraska fans returning from the game. It wasn't isolated. That means there's a cultural problem. Your dismissal of the issue and refusal to condemn those among your fan base taking it too far make you part of the problem. Only peer pressure from other Badger fans will fix it, but that would take humility and introspect - clearly not a strong suit in your part of the country.Extreme behavior? You're naive to think that a.) this only happens in Wisconsin and b.) that some people don't do this at Nebraska. And maybe when you looked up contemptuous in the dictionary you should have swung by V and looked up violent as well. I don't know that a few people yelling at Tom Osbourne and elderly people he was with is tantamount to say, an angry mob in 1950s Arkansas.No you don't have to "take the good with the bad." You don't have to be an abusive, violent idiot to cheer for your team. Your inability to acknowledge, or perhaps understand this, makes you a truly contemptuous human being.I could care less about what Tom Osbourne has to say about Wisconsin students or how "revolting" people think the ES-FU chant is. The 15,000 students at Camp Randall make it what it is. A fantastic home-field environment. But don't take my word for it, just look to your local husker beat reporters who came away very impressed by the atmosphere. Or this board, where people urged others to stand up and cheer to be like Wisconsin fans at Camp Randall. You take the good with the bad, and as far as the Camp Randall crowd goes, the good is oh so very good.I like turtles.I also recall a certain moment in time when Tom Osbourne decided when winning was so important he decided to start a woman beater against universal disapproval and any sort of moral compass. So maybe he shouldn't be the authority on correlating winning culture and character.
My god, you're actually proud of the extreme behavior, aren't you? Screaming obscenities at children and elderly people. I hope you're a rare minority. Otherwise, there's something dark and sick happening in Wisconsin.
