[Husker] Osborne says to not wear Husker gear

[Jon Johnston]

This is the same guy that thought we should have worn black to Wisconsin to stand out, an idea I thought was dumb because I'd rather be blending in at Madison - maybe other people's experience was different.

But... last night I was talking to a friend who's an alum, and I recalled the snowball fights that happened in the fall between the frat houses and the dorms. Those things got pretty nasty, I remember a friend coming back to Schramm with his head all cut up because someone had put a rock in a snowball. 

Frat houses had their windows smashed, cars vandalized. 

Compare that to what we saw at Penn State the other night. You had nearly no arrests, no serious injuries, and a van turned over.

Yet all we heard was "PENN STATE RIOT!!!!" from the media. All the media. 

If that was a riot, today's youth suck.

That was a protest. Those snowball fights that went bad, those were riots. :)

Still, he thinks folks might want to keep their red Cornhuskers gear at home, or at least wear a different colored coat over it. "I just don't know if it's a good idea in this circumstance to stand out," Osborne said.
