We're Number 2

[TGHusker]

Harassed by security for standing, or being to loud ? Is this football or tennis ?

Maybe too many Barney Fife's doing security. :dunno

When LSU played Wisconsin I had some friends go to the game. They have a bunch of embarrassing pictures of piss drunk Wisconsin fans. Said they were all over the place passed out or stumbling.

Oddly, 121 (88.3%) of those 137 arrests were for underage alcohol consumption.

I wouldn't consider that really odd.  Likely that's a big part of many of the arrests for all schools.  

But, just for context, my comment you responded to was really just in response to the OP who claimed Nebraska was number 1 in these categories, prior to his edit.

In the number of fans ejected. Surprising, since the play was so bad people should have been leaving voluntarily.  :ahhhhhhhh

Seriously though, how can this be? We have to be number one in blue hairs. Are many of those ejected from the opposition?

Edit - Wiscy is #1, and I expect that lead to be bigger next year when we give them an old fashioned beat down.

Fan Ejections

Maybe the people involved in deciding ejections are blue hairs also?

Have gone to games for 15 years or whatever.  Nebraska on Nebraska fan security calls are way too common.  Last year I literally watched a 25 year old, not drunk, not causing any issue have the security called on him because he stood during a play and an #@$hole said he couldn’t see the screen.  The bleeping screen and you called security to have him REMOVED FROM THE GAME.  They didn’t remove him but it had to be embarrassing, and it was completely uncalled for.  For reference he was directly in front of me and I had no issues.  I walked down and told him he could stand whenever he wanted, he wasn’t bothering the people directly behind him.  I have watched my brother get called on because he was being to loud.  To loud.....in a football stadium, this is not yelling curse words, yelling at specific people, just being a fan.  The Husker game experience as great as it can be, also can really suck.  There are some people who think that buying a seat means they get to watch the game exactly as they would on the couch, or just so they can say they went and probably only stay the first half.  I propose they make one section on north stadium standing room only, then you can just walk over there if you want to stand.

Glad you included the bold - guessing if fans were polled over the past 15 years that would include about 0.5% (minus a 2017 season where fans should have been free to go after the first quarter)

I graduated from UW-Madison within the last five years, so I should clarify that I don't think it's odd that the high-percentage of arrests is a result of underage alcohol consumption.  I find it odd that it's, at all, considered an arrest.

Was there, too.  Don't think I noticed close to the number you're insinuating, but I also didn't spend much time looking around or taking pictures.

If the cops had to take someone away for doing something illegal, I think that'd be considered an arrest.

Yeah, I'm not buying it either. I'd imagine if any school could hang with the bayou boys when it came to drinking, it'd be Wisconsin.

There is a difference between citation and arrest.  These kids are cited for underage alcohol consumption and kicked out of the game.

 

[Hilltop]

Maybe I have been lucky but I haven't had any bad experiences with other Husker Fans or opposing fans in the last 10+ years.  I always take a kid with me when I go to a game.  Kids have to stand on the seat most of the time just to see over the adults so I find myself standing a lot.  I do go up and down with the people in front of me.  I'm not that guy standing alone in a section when everyone else decided to sit but I am one of the first to stand to try to get everyone up during moments of excitement.  In general I feel the Nebraska Fan Base still tries to live by the "best Fans" label and are very courteous and easy to get along with.

When Gill was coach of KU or whatever and came back to Lincoln,  my brothers  and I got the security called on us. 

Was literally the MOST BORING football game I’ve ever been to in my life. 

We were up yelling and getting things going and the crowd was just on their hands. 

I think the most dangerous thing we (I) said was “let’s go balls deep!!”

we didn't get removed but we were told to keep it down. 

We didnt keep it down. 

Was that the game that even Bo Pelini said after the game he thought the crowd was lame?

 

[BOJ]

It says why. The numbers are trash.

For example, Maryland only has 3 arrests, Why? Because Maryland only tracks arrests directly related to Alcohol where some of the rest track ALL arrests. Maryland could have had half the stadium arrested during a game and none of them would show up on this list unless they were drunk.

Some of the schools numbers on there are for the entire campus on gameday, others ONLY show data for inside the stadium... that's a massive disparity.

As for Nebraska's number specifically, it says that reason too.  The other schools differentiate between someone being ejected and someone simply being rejected (often temporarily) from entry. Nebraska's number does not seperate those figures.

In Nebraska's number if you walked up to the stadium drinking from a glass bottle and they had to have you go throw it away before you then went inside it counts as an ejection, at the other schools on this list it would not.

The numbers mean nothing because they don't tell the same information. Essentially the entire list is completely worthless and is junk journalism.

It's obviously tongue in cheek "journalism" if anything. The guy provides tons of disclaimers about the accuracy prior to presenting the data. They do it as a goof each year in the offseason for content (as college football fans want content in the offseason even though there is very little to discuss). It's not meant to actually drive the conversation on the issue (not that you were saying it was).  I usually think of "junk journalism" as something someone prints to persuade the public when the information is clearly suspect. Here, they are just having some fun and it's clearly that.

You Sir are the hero that our program deserves (though not the one it needs right now).

I appreciate the loyalty and what not that the blue-hairs have provided for the program, but it is absolutely unreal that they get pissed about people standing. I remember during the 2011 Ohio State game, third quarter and we're finally starting the comeback, when some old fart got pissed at our family for standing up when the action was going on in the north end zone. Here's the kicker, the row behind us, where the man was sitting, started after the walkway, meaning there was a solid 7-8 feet between us and he was way more elevated than normal. He had a poor 16 year old usher come and tell us to sit down and, while you feel like a d!(k at the time telling the usher no, I'm not driving all the way from Dallas to park my butt on a bench.

Switch this around.  People should start having the ushers tell the people who sit all the time to stand up and support the team.
