A beautiful day......


Top 10 Reasons I'm Proud to be a Husker (during the Spring Game):
10) At the annual Red/White Spring Game (aka a scrimage!) 58,000 people show up, and it would have been more if the North Stadium wasn't under construction
9) During the playing of the National Anthem, the whole stadium sang along
8) Once again, even though it was practice the whole stadium "oohed and ahhed" for every near interception and 10 yard run.
7) Fairbury Brand hotdogs!!! They're dyed Husker Red! (not to hide weird parts!!)
6) Again for a practice, everyone in the stadium was wearing their full Husker regailia, including facepaint and cornheads!
5) The defending National Champions, Texas, had only 48,000 at their Spring Game! HA we beat them at something!
4) Nebraska really is a RED state! All the candidates and their campaigns were Republicans!
3) The three Heisman trophy winners came out on to the field, Johnny "the Jet" Rogers, Mike Rozier, and Eric Crouch.
2) Ten years after his death, Husker fans still remember and mourn the life of a true Husker hero, #18 Brooke Berringer.
1) Even though its the Spring game, when you hear the first notes of the tunnel walk, goosebumps appear and the stadium just goes nuts as you watch on HuskerVision the Huskers leaving the locker room, touching the lucky horseshoe, and running out on the field. It's magic!

Oh and #1A: The other great thing about the spring game, when it's over you can walk over to beautiful Hawks Field and watch the baseball team crush the Aggies.
And I guess I should add #1B: It was also a great day because there were no tornados in Lincoln while I was there. :)

Several #s could be added. When playing Kansas State or Missouri the chant is "I'd rather be red than dead in the head". Colorado:Where men are men and women are men.

Sucks to be (or have been) in the Fairbury Band. I hear their goal is to march towards deliciousness!

I've heard of this "everyone in the stadium" fellow. I heard he was trying out for the Fairbury Band.
