Great to see the enthusiasm. Embarrassing field storm however. Not when you beat the 25th ranked team![]()
I look forward to a day when we don't feel compelled to storm the field after beating a mediocre team.
Hey, that's hurtful, DeadMurray.I look forward to the day when Gophers fans can show their enthusiasm without being belittled by stuffed shirts.
I get it.I look forward to a day when we don't feel compelled to storm the field after beating a mediocre team.

No, I get it. I remember '83, '89, '90, etc. And beating Nebraska gives me a great feeling. Furthermore, I think I yell louder than anyone when we beat Northwestern or Purdue. But running onto the field, I think is reserved for momentous occasions - beating top 5 team, breaking a losing streak against a hated rival, that kind of thing.I get it.
Nebraska fans in attendance expected to win once again. I think the kids understand this.
I have no problem with the next generation of fans thinking beating Nebraska is a big deal.
There were certainly earlier generations of Gophers fans who did believe beating Nebraska was a big deal...just that they didn't live to see it.
Worth pondering...

I think it's kind of bush league to do it for a mediocre team that we've already beaten five times in a row. If that makes me a stuffed shirt, then I guess RememberMediocrity is right.
I think you're being awfully sensitive, ForgotMurray.It makes you better than the rest of us, clearly. We're 'bush league' (your description); you're obviously major league, in contrast.
Mrs. Billd might be your match on yelling even for those too.No, I get it. I remember '83, '89, '90, etc. And beating Nebraska gives me a great feeling.

They had 3k as their allotment and sold all of it. There were 38k non students and I'm guessing around 30% was red. That would be 11,400. That would be on the high estimate. 20% would be 7,600.....that is likely your range. Somewhere between 8-11kBeen thinking about how many red fans were there.
The student section holds about 10,000, I don’t think there was enough Nebraska fans to even fill half that, so I do think there were probably less than 4,000 total.
I think it's bush league if anyone over 30 stormed the field. If it was only the kids storming, let them have fun.No, I get it.

Must have mistaken your section for the Nebraska bench.No one here had the cicadas land in them or near them? They were 3 inches long.
8k easy id bet.
Did my fanwatching thing as folks came to the stadium on The Tribal Nations Plaza as usual but a lot earlier for this one.I think it was more than that. Tougher to tell because a good portion were wearing black.
What also made it hard was they never made it into the end zone.![]()

I'm just saying it's time for Gopher fans to up our game. It's certainly time to up yours.
They were quiet and crabby. When you have given everything to be in this cult and it isn't going as promised you get upset. It hasn't set in they are never going to the college playoff.Did my fanwatching thing as folks came to the stadium on The Tribal Nations Plaza as usual but a lot earlier for this one.
The first wave of Nebbie fans arriving at TCF were actually mostly in street or barn clothes with maybe a N cap or walking with someone else in their group actually in team colors.
This shifted as it got closer to game time as the demonstrable Husker fans showed up in Red, White, and yes Black as their colors of choice.

Okay, friend. I promise not to have any more opinions if you do, too.My, but you see yourself as large and in charge, don't you? We all need to "up our game"?
Get over yourself. As I said before: stuffed shirt.
