[Husker] Spoiled?

[king, tom]

OK, on a somewhat different slant on this topic, here is how i was spoiled:  Visiting the Big House for the first time i was taken aback by how much booing there was when the Huskers took the field.  Has that changed in Memorial Stadium, do we now boo the opponent for no reason other than their being a worthy opponent?  Also, what's this cheer they do (frequently) that ends with "You suck!"?

Having said that, i felt nothing but welcomed both before and after the game by Michigan fans.   i overheard many people, who did not realize a Husker fan was within earshot, that they knew Nebraska football and this had to be an "off" game.

i invited everyone with whom i spoke to visit Lincoln next year.  i was spoiled by the incredible sportsmanship displayed each Nebraska home game by its fans.

Well, tempered with a bit of reality I guess. ;-) In any case, the Huskers really *need* to beat Iowa on Friday.

With a new arena on the horizon as well as the palacial training facility, I hope recruiting continues to improve. I want to *spoiled* by MBB, dadgummit.
