Except they do. Your one example of not going to road games was shown to be false.
It was?

I must have missed the part where it was disproven only just over 40some thousand people were there for that 70 point ass whooping from Wisconsin. Or how ery HolidayBowl tHuskers play in has less and less folks at it.

I'll wait. (For you to talk about Jim Harbaugh and hope people forget or move on.)

I'd say it was fun to watch, but mostly... it wasn't. :D

The same thing as Arky fan, or Mizzou fan, or Ole Miss fan, or Kansas State fan. They have puffed up for a couple of years and think they are better than an old road dog that has been around for a very long time.

Even in their prime, the old road dog is at worse .500 against these upstarts.

Soon enough, old road dog will have some pups.

My favorite road game I went to was with my Dad to Notre Dame in 2000. Crouch scored the OT winner. 24-27. FuN times. Great host fans. I have this poster with where my Pops and I were sitting circled on it.

Sorry, that was off topic.

I think you meant to quote my other post?

I live amongst the K-Staters... they can be some fickle, angry mofos.

Bowl/championship games are not "road games". They're neutral site games. The lack of support for the B1G championship could just as easily be attributed to Badger fans not wanting to see their team play in a game that they backed into against a team that had already beat them.

As far as the Holiday Bowl goes, since NU played in the game back in 2009, Nebraska games have the top two highest attended games and three out of the top 4. The fact that, since 2009, Nebraska has played in the same game three times has a lot to do with the declining attendance. How many times should teams be expected to play in the same bowl?

Not at home means travel is required.

Maybe this is the problem. They don't know where to go?

(Less attendees Ery Holiday Bowl, just as I said.)

Monkeys are often confused. Similar to humans with low IQs.

Thats it?

That is the greatness of where you live over where I live?

I don't give a fuck about your shitty Blues, Royals, or Cardinals (which I'm sure you attend regularly and likely have season tickets).

I play golf at a local club for under $3k a year in which there is a pool for my wife and kids and an 18 hole golf course that I can get on almost any time. They also have a driving range which I take full advantage of which is part of that price.

I am literally 5 minutes away from my work, play, needed groceries, anything. And the added bonus is I don't have to deal with douchebags like yourself.
Wow, your shit isnt even passive aggressive. Its just sad and lonely.

I'm just pointing out the obvious - fans are always going to support Nebraska because its the biggest thing out there. Its a sense of community. I don't think attendance is a major factor. Mizzou is a small fish in the middle of a bunch of large fish. Always been that way. We can rise up but the economics of it all doesn't add up to anything long term.

I believe you can play for under $3k a year but I find it hard to believe you play year round in Lincoln. I was there for work a few times in Jan and Feb. So that cost on a monthly basis is higher I do believe.

Oh Bullshit.

Yep. We have water and everything.

I mean, what do you have? 5-7, or 6-7 type depth in your pool?

Don't play year round obviously.

In the Winter, we travel to anywhere but Texas.

So that 3K is for about 8 or 9 months? What is the actual season for being able to play?

Blue blood status is something that is earned. Nebraska has the resume. The Huskers earned the status and that does not change. Yes they are A blue blood
