A friend of mine had this as his status on Facebook! It isa great thing that we are amazing fans! Win or Lose we still have the best fans in the world! Met some nice people from UCLA this weekend. It was so great to hear from them and the positive experience they were having in Lincoln. One of them sent me this story that was posted on a Bruin Forum so I thought I would share it. There truly is No Place like Nebraska!! Some things in life are more important than the final score of a football game One thing that was more important than the final score was the character of the Nebraska football program, and that includes their fans. We confirmed this week that Nebraska fans are about as classy as you will ever find. When I wrote on the morning after the Nebraska game last season, I said that I wanted us to be like Nebraska. I wanted us to be a deeply passionate fan base that wore the same color blue and filled the stadium every week and welcomed the opponents and respected the game and set the standard for what a home field advantage looked like. Well, Nebraska took my great fan card and completely trumped it with kind words from their head coach on Monday and #36 stickers on their helmets and a moment of silence and blue and yellow balloons and a banner before the game and more humanity and decency than I have ever seen from an opposing team. And in doing so, they upped that standard for a fan base to a whole new level. If everyone had the same heart and concern for their fellow man as those Nebraska folks, the world would be a far far better place.
