*shrug* - I was going to Husker Baseball games at the Buck when there were 20 other people in the stands. During my undergrad I think I missed maybe 1-2 home games each year. I didn't miss a single playoff game during that span, except for the second half of a regional game that I had a wedding to go to (so I attended the first 5 innings in a tux). Even now I listen to almost every game.
I've gone to away regionals, and caught every West Coast appearance of the team in the last six year (so stoked for next year with what sounds like at least 3 California away series).
I own a baseball jersey but have never owned a football one.
So yeah, we. I'm one of the biggest Nebraska Baseball fans you'll find. I think the fans owe DVH just as much as the school / team does
edit - you a bluejay or something?
No, I wasn't intending to be as big a jerk as it came off as. The whole "we" mentality as a fan just really bugs me. Whether it be college or pro. And another thing, the whole true Husker fans who despise Creighton fans. That's absolutely rediculous. I wouldn't claim myself a big Creighton baseball fan but I am a big fan of the basketball program. I would like to see both CU and NU be respectable teams constantly making regionals in both baseball and basketball. Sorry Nebraska basketball hasn't been relevant since the Danny Nee days, the coaching hires just haven't panned out since then. In college basketball I like numerous teams because of head coaches more than the players on the court.
For the
hardcore Nebraska fans who hate on Creighton is retarded. Totally not even compareable schools, it's not like an Auburn basketball fan pulling for Alabama football. CU is in the MVC for Christ's sake, NU has gone from the Big 8/12 to the Big Ten. Improve the basketball team and call out some big boy schools (Indiana, OSU, Michigan, MSU) for rivals. Instead this state has goofballs who are so upset that some Nebraska football fans want to jump ship over bball season and claim Creighton basketball, a successful mid major program, minus any deep NCAA runs over a polished terd Big Ten program. That bugs me way more than the "we" thing!
I've shed light on that issue with friends and turned haters to fans. My point is valid. I can tell you that about half maybe more of the fans that go to CU games go for the beer and to be seen rather than actual being "fans". On top of that most CU students are snobs, rich kids. If Creighton stunk in basketball nobody would give a shit to get angry if someone likes NU football and CU basketball. I want to see both schools do well in their sports
Kudos for being a huge NU baseball fan. I like the direction that Erstad/Bolt/Silva have it going. It'd be huge for them and the Big Ten to get back to where they were in the DVH days. Imagine if they did by 2014 when TD Ameritrade hosts the conference tourney, it'd be packed red
