My son experienced his first Nebraska football game in Lincoln a few weekends ago. He went home from college with a friend and they landed some Cornhusker tickets.

He was in awe. He is a huge sports fan and was ready to wear his Black and Gold (CU) proudly while attending a small college in Nebraska. Well, the tide has turned. He is bleeding red in a few short months. You can’t help transitioning into a Nebraska fan when you are surrounded by some of the best fans on earth.

The game was great. So much energy! That is because the fans are great. In Nebraska, the Cornhusker football team are celebrities. Everyone knows the players by name!

Fans tailgate before the game with their Cornhusker flags proudly flying. Drive through any town in Nebraska on any given fall Saturday and BIG RED is flying on every corner.
