We really need to beat these guys!

[Fullback41]

Right, so you plan on playing in boise, ft worth, or salt lake city soon because their stadium holds more. Yeah I didn't think so. BCS teams don't play there out of fear, not numbers. It is easy for BCS teams to stay home play a weak team and collect their BCS money rather than risk looking bad against a good non AQ team.

Only way to prove me wrong is to play a good non--aq team on the road. Never happen.

No, BCS teams play at home because they get more money. Why should we play in Laramie? Economically it makes NO sense.

If I told you that you could have $4.75 million per game at War, but you'd only make $300K traveling to another school, of course you'd want to play as many home games as possible. We live in a world of tough economies, and the larger the athletic budget the more home games you have to have.

Nebraska needs a minimum of seven home games to meet budget every year. That's just a cold fact. I'd presume that most every other AQ school needs the same. That means that if they're going to travel, it really can't be to a small school with a small stadium. It just doesn't make economic sense.

This has nothing to do with respect for other schools. We respect you guys just fine. It has everything to do with basic economics.

For me at home watching this game on TV, it doesn't matter if your stadium seats 10,000 or 100,000. But to the athletic department of the school you're playing, it means a LOT in terms of their budget. It's a huge hit, and you can't get around that.

Ugly as it is, money drives this sport. That's why we're seeing all this realignment talk, that's why we're seeing non-AQ schools demanding a fair chance at the BCS games – money, money, money.

yep, your right, you should start a fire tom osborne campaign. he should be fired over this. OK, then why haven't you invited TCU, Boise, or Utah to play you at home? If it is just about a filled stadium why not play them at home?

whatever, i will agree that NU can fill their stadium no matter who they play but the Baylors, Iowa States, Vanderbilts, the entire Big East and ACC, etc. play weak teams with half filled stadiums out of fear of playing good non-AQ teams. Then sit back and collect a piece of the BCS pie, while teams that deserve it get shut out.

Congrats to Ole Miss and Virginia to agreeing to play a 1 and 1 and actually showing up in Laramie to take their licks. Congrats to Texas & Nebraska for agreeing to playing a road game in Laramie at all. I commend you coming here once in exchange for hosting us twice. Just keep dudes with this guys attitude out of my face when here and we will get along fine. Yeah, we get that you have more population, more enrollment, more BCS $, I just wish fans like this guy wouldn't use non football factors when arguing why his team is superior to ours. That holier than thou crap doesn't go over well here. (see byu, and the fact no one misses them)

Note Syracuse sucks for backing out of their game here "fear of losing"

If this banter goes on much longer I will have to reconsider who I am rooting for to win the Big 10. A month ago it was NU, but the attitude is making me sour on them.

Safe driving NU fans, I am over this thread.

Nebraska has always been my BCS team that I cheer for. Never again. I am done with them because of their fans. While I know they don't represent the program, they are part of the program. This week has been crazy on all of the messageboards from thier fans. They are so "holier than thou". Unbelievable. I told my wife this morning that i would give ALL the money in our bank account for a victory this weekend. I have never wanted anything more!

Where are you seeing this "holier than thou" behavior?

There you go with the "fans like this guy" thing again. The blog post was not written by a Husker fan I will guarantee you that. The guy that wrote it is a blogger and writes all kinds of crap so don't give me this B.S. that he is a Husker fan.

I also don't get where the holier than thou crap comes from. I have been reading all of the posts from Husker fans on this board and have not seen it. Maybe I missed some comments, but I don't think so. And we are playing you in Wyoming and there is a large segment of the Husker fan base that is excited about it including myself and the members of my family. I have been to the first 3 games in Lincoln and have talked to a lot of fans at tailgates and not once have I heard anyone complain about going to Laramie. I believe that we will be challenged in this game and it will be an enjoyable one to watch in person. I am planning on having a great time on our trip to Laramie and should we get beat so be it, the sun will rise the next morning.

Are you as daft as this post makes you seem, or do you uncontrollably let diarrhea flow out of your finger tips and onto a keyboard? Must be a nasty mess.

First of all, you mustn't speak about things you clearly know absolutely nothing about. Nebraska invited Boise State to come to Lincoln, however Boise State wanted over $750,000 to come play in Lincoln. That's the kind of money you pay to a non-AQ school if you're Nebraska, not to Boise State who constantly demands respect for their program and want to be considered an elite team. If you want to be a powerhouse, you don't ask for bottom-feeder money. Would Nebraska ever pay a school like Texas that kind of money to come play in Lincoln? Absolutely not.

In exchange for that high price request, we offered to do a 2-1 with two games in Lincoln. They refused. This has more to do with Boise State trying to suck money than anything else.

Lastly, how many times does it have to be said this "fan" you keep referring to is not a Nebraska fan? He's a blogger and is no way, shape or form representative of the Husker fan base.

we're still allowed to be offended

 

[McPeachy]

This thread is almost as bad as that old fucker thread on gwg! Hilarious!

Treat visiting fans how you want to be treated!

Oh, and rule number one...there is an asshole in every group!

 

[Bye Bye Big XII]

Yeah, you're still allowed to be offended, but you're lashing out at ALL Nebraska fans. If you were just mad at him and wrote comments about him, then it would be okay to all of us. The dude who wrote that piece is a clown and nothing more. But when you take his words and automatically apply his attitude towards ALL Nebraska fans, then we also have the right to try and set you straight.

Let's redirect this anger at an idiot Husker fan. I'll gladly take the position Nebraska Football is above playing in your crap hole of a 30k stadium. However, it is nice you will accommodate our Fans from your state, CO, and Western NE. It should be a near red out, so thanks for the pseudo home game. Also, we may have some fans stuck in the past, but that's because we have a past to live in. You guys still excited about the New Mexico Bowl from two years ago? In short, you're welcome that our Athletic Department decided to save a few hundred grand and agree to this scrimmage.

Soooo, $20?
Is it bad that we as fans try and be civil but everything we say gets manipulated and thrown back in our face. We will more than likely win this game, but you can still dream big!

Yes you did find him...and it took all of what, 1 hour? Unreal.

Try and be courteous, and this is what happens.

Oh well.

This article made me LOL - we'll be getting it on in Camp Randall, the Big House, and Happy Valley this season while Jokelahoma self-flagellates with the likes of baylor, ksux and the cyclowns. Fla State might be OK this year (remains to be seen) but they have sucked donkey for the last several years. This asshat has no idea what he's talking about.
