Ask any Nebraska fan and they will tell you that they are the "classiest and best fans in America." Well, yesterday they booed their own team all game long. And, it wasn't just a few fans, it was the majority of fans at the game. Shame on you Husker fans!

It was a classy booing, probably one of the best booings in America yesterday.
That may be true but it wasn't to the degree it was in Lincoln yesterday. They were booing all game long and of the 86,000 in attendence I would guess that 70,000 of them were booing.

Have we ever labeled ourselves as the classiest fans in America?
Those folks out there will be tense and hostile all day long, maybe all the way until Saturday.
Hopefully, that game was just one more step in restoring a new order.

Cyclone fans, I'ma let you finish, but the Huskers had one of the biggest home-team-booings of all time! OF ALL TIME!
this is funny, I've never experienced or known a fan base that pats itself on the back more than husker fan. Isn't there an engraving on the wall near a memorial stadium entrance that says "through these doors pass the greatest fans in america" or something of that nature?
The only boos I heard during the game last Saturday night were directed at the referees. I booed very loud, along with everyone else in my section, when they called Arnaud for excessive celebration.
I try not to note what fans should/shouldn't do - but I find booing collegiate athletes to be pathetic. These kids spend more hours during the week between classwork and practice/games/travel than many here spend working in two weeks.
It's just not deserved.

I agree. I have no doubt that people don't want to be heckled at their own job when something doesn't go right, but then have no problem tearing into 18-22 year old kids/young men when something doesn't meet their expectations.
We're still talking about college kids here.
Really?? Did his performance deserve the entire student section to stand up and cheer? Certainly not!
I can handle the miss from 50 yards, wasn't upset with that, but then the first one in that 35-40 yard range was tough to swallow, and then the final one he missed :no:. It showed me that he obviously did not come to the stadium ready to play.
