[Husker] What Do Husker Fans Want?

Then there's our academic all-americans. 
I also like to think we treat visiting teams
differently than some other programs. I used to live
in SC and the folks there were impressed with how
nicely the fans treated them when the Gamecocks
visited Lincoln. In that way, I hope we are different
from OU. It reminds me of Miami, the way when they are
winning they heckle the visitors.
I also like the way the fans treat the visiting team,
even in losses. If Ricky Williams had run wild in
SoCal, would he have gotten a standing ovation at the
end of the game? When OU visits Lincoln next year, is
the coach going to have an opportunity to call the
fans "@%&$ hillbillies"? I hope not.
I think bottom line is that people in other parts of
the country are jealous of the Huskers and are
enjoying kicking us when we are down. The Huskers are
still the Huskers, no matter who the coach or AD is.
The fans are the same. The people of the state of
Nebraska are the same. We'll be back.

If my (recruting) memory serves, only three in-state Nebraska scholarship
players have been recruited along with a fourth "grayshirt." Of course,
this might have been a down year for Nebraska high-school football so that
no more than three young men qualified, but that would be somewhat unusual.
Rather, it seems that Callahan and company haven't yet come to realize that
a Nebraska kid rarely fails to give the program his all as opposed to a
sizable number of out-of-state kids who have shown less than wholehearted
commitment to the University.
