Go Big Red!

Ahh, it's Husker football time. For Lincoln, Nebraska it is as much a season as summer, winter, spring and fall. Going to the football games have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My great grandfather bought season tickets in 1963 and we still have these season tickets to this day, although, the number has grown from 2 to 8. In my lifetime, I remember going to the game in a red full body snowsuit while the snow was falling down. I remember when the fans stormed the field (before there were fences around the field) and tore down the goal posts. I remember when there were no fancy T.V. screens at each end of the stadium. I will always remember the experience of going to the game.

I had the pleasure of attending a game this past Saturday. I had not been in a long time, since last year I had a small child and the previous year I was very pregnant. But as soon as I sat in my seat, it all came back. The booming crowd, the wave, the chants, and the band. There are 2 things I don't think any other stadium has - our fans and Valentino's pizza. You can't help but get caught up in the up and down, the clapping and the screaming of Go Big Red.

Out of 86,000 fans, you couldn't hardly pick out the blue for San Jose. The fans are as much a part of the team as the players. When they make a touch down we couldn't be more proud. Even when they lose we are still proud of them, because they are our team. Very few things in Lincoln, Nebraska can bring 86,000 people together to cheer for the same thing. You can feel this when you step foot in the stadium.

Good luck, Huskers! Go Big Red! We are so proud of you!
