Back in 1995 and 1996 the Netsurfers for Nebraska, an early part of the 
Husker List, used to meet at Mike Nolan's house after the spring game.  I 
have to admit I was more interested in the social aspect of the weekend than 
the game.  We even had t-shirts!

I think there were a couple of reasons we came together from across the 
country to attend this scrimmage (I drove up from Memphis); 1) The football 
team had just come off of back to back national titles and 2) for most of 
us, e-mail and the internet was relatively new.  It was kinda cool to get 
together as a group that communicates through the internet.

I see several teams from the south have there spring games broadcast on TV. 
Has there been any talk about Nebraska doing this?

Does anyone know of any other team that had over 80,000 attend their spring 
game?

     In the first place.  I don't care what people do or what they enjoy. 
If they enjoy something that is fine.  That is totally their business.  I am 
sure I enjoy things other people do not as well.
No problem from me.  I was just stating my feeling about the Spring Game any 
year even when TO was coach.


     I was sitting at a local sports bar on Friday night talking to a guy 
that was going to the game and he was in from Springfield, MO.  He said he 
was going to meet people from Indianapolis and from somewhere in Illinois, I 
can't remember which town.
I wouldn't drive that far for any Spring Game and especially now with the 
price of gas.  He told me in year's past he got to Lincoln and back on about 
$40 worth of gas and this year will probably be around $175.  It is 
interesting.  I live less than 2 miles from Memorial Stadium and didn't go 
and there are people that come from hundreds of miles out.  I am sure the 
party atmosphere of a game day draws people plus like this guy it gave him a 
chance to get together with people he normally wouldn't see.  What I would 
find interesting is how many were there at the end of the game or at least 
into the fourth quarter.


    Just to restate, I am not knocking anyone for their choice to be 
interested and/or attend.  I just personally don't get that much from it and 
at this time of year would rather follow the baseball team.  By the way the 
Husker Baseball team beat KU 8-6.
