just something that jumped out at me...
Wow. So much to say on this subject. While some of the Husker fans could be considered the nicest I have encountered, some were the rudest, most obnoxious and vitriolic fans I have ever seen. A truly bipolar fanbase.
1. We spent Friday night in a small Iowa farm town about 125 miles east of Lincoln. Went into a bar with a couple of locals both wearing Texas hats, and a Husker diehard immediately started cussing us out and telling us to get the **** out of there. That we had no business being in that bar in that town.
2. The Omaha World-Herald definitely foments a lot of resentment towards us. Reading it, I came away thinking that not only have we ****ed every woman in Nebraska, we burned their crops and introduced AIDS as well. Its no wonder that we are so hated.
3. Got some horns down and weird stares on the way to Lincoln through small towns. Some broad even asked us if we were lost when we stopped in Wahoo, NE to buy beer. "Uh, no you dumb bitch. Lincoln is on this road, but thanks."
4. Once in Lincoln, so many people said "Welcome to Lincoln" and "Good luck" and "Thanks for making the trip." Of course, it was obvious that a lot of people were saying it because they feel like they have to, not that they really meant it. One guy even was honest about it and said "I want to tell you that I hope we kick the dog**** out of you today, but I'll say 'good luck and welcome to Lincoln.'" We definitely heard our share of "Texas sucks" and the like.
5. The arrogance of Husker fans astounded me. Almost to a man, Nebraska fans "knew" they were going to destroy us. We were told that a good number of their fans sold their tickets because they didn't want to see such a bad game. Only two or three people we talked to thought we stood a chance. I was so tired of hearing it by the time that I got to my seat that I began asking why fans of a team that is 1-8 against another would be talking so much ****. After we were up 10-0 some forlorn Husker asked rhetorically why we were playing so well after two bad games. I just told him "because you're Nebraska. Not very good."
6. The "Serving Hot Carls" and "**** Texas" t-shirts were embarrassing. Seriously. I assume the Hot Carl guy realized he's the one who got served.
7. We are so in Nebraska's heads that the entire state should probably seek counseling.
8. The "classiest fans in America" sure do boo a lot. They booed the **** out of our team when they took the field. They booed when at least two different players were down. They booed our coaches. They booed the refs. I was really unimpressed with their overall in-game behavior.
9. The "Big XII" chant was awesome. As the Sea of Red became a bunch of rivers of red even before the pooch runback, you could see on the fans' faces how pissed they were. Some fans congratulated us. One fat bitch started saying some bull**** about UCLA. Um, OK. We just bukkaked all over your collective faces and you wanna bring up some other game. I also managed to sneak some words into "The Eyes:" "you cannot get away(even in the Big Ten)" and "do not think you can escape them (no matter what conference you run away to)."
10. After the game, I still heard a good bit of **** talking. Not sure why. We were told "**** you" several differents times and we were challenged to fight (by a guy and his friends who were walking away as they challenged us). We were just walking and minding our own business at the time. You would think you could do that without harrassment in a city that you own.
11. Had two fans in Lincoln thank us for beating Nebraska because their fans are so insufferable. We decided to head back to Omaha because the more people drank, the worse they became.
12. In Omaha, had two more people thank us for beating Nebraska because their fans are assholes.
13. At DFW, heard a Nebraska fan griping on his cellphone that we "are everywhere." Uh, yeah. This is Texas, dumbass.
14. For the record, I thought our fans were great. I didn't hear a lot of smack talking except to those who had been talking smack. Our group offered beer to every Husker who came over and talked to us before the game.
