I love reading stories like this. Makes me very proud. Keep it up.

From the Voice from the Grandstand in the OWH:

I'm about to go through my third Christmas in Nebraska since moving from Austin, Texas, and my wife and I attended our first game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. I did it as a University of Texas graduate.

The energy in the stadium was ridiculous. Fans have traditions, they cheer, but at Nebraska, it seems different. The conversations around you are detailed and accurate: "Check out Octavien, after he lost 15 pounds he's crazy fast." And even when the flags were being thrown around by the officials, fans were shutting down other fans: "Take it easy, we had that coming."

The Nebraska fans were incredible. All the comments were in good spirit. A guy apologized to me before the game for anything he might say "in combat today." The moment I will never forget came when I saw a crazed Husker fan at the beginning of the game, who I thought was going to be a loudmouth, walk up the stands to six fans in burnt orange and shake their hands, throw up high-fives and say, "Good luck today, guys." That blew me away. I never saw that in Austin. I've never seen that at College Station. I'm not sure it's possible in Norman.

Memorial Stadium has a saying in Lincoln that through these gates pass the greatest fans in college football, and they are right.

Kinda sends chills down my spine when I read things like that. We do have the greatest fans and I am glad others see that. GBR

 
Thats awesome, considering my experience in Ames where ISU fans kept saying F*** Nebraska to me. I hate to boast, but we are the BEST FANS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!

 
you got to love they way the fans are. obviously ABC didnt show it but i was told that the fans chanted "GO BIG RED" for 15 minutes after the game as the team was leaving the field.

i have been to more road games then i have home games and i always get goose bumps by the atmosphere there in lincoln. i cant even imagine what is going through the minds of visitors when they come into lincoln.

 
I saw that "Go Big Red" chant on the news on Monday Night, and that sent chills down my spine. GBR Great article from the OWH

 
Yeah we all were chanting GO BIG RED at the end of the game and it was awesome!!!!! That's great to hear that he had such a great time!!!! :bonez

 
I wish Nebraska fans would stop acting like their sh*t does not stink. There are good friends EVERYWHERE in the country. And there are BAD fans in Nebraska and even in Memorial Stadium. I've witnessed some trash talking myself. I witnessed some grown husker fan men telling to young girls that had to be around 12 years old to "Go Home". We are not the greatest fans in the world. There are no greatest fans in the world.

 
getting back to topic sort of, I saw on allbluffs that they are talking about how shiotty we treat them and such. Those guys are unreal with their egos for a 1-6 team.
