I live in PA as my moniker implies. But every year I fly out to Lincoln for one home game since I grew up in Lincoln and it is in my blood. I cannot go a whole season without being in that stadium at least once!
So I am having a debate with my sister as to which game I should come to this year. I like to come for a game I have confidence we will win and I like to come when it is still warm. So .. I say North Dakota. My sister says that is bullshit and I should go to a "big game" like OU or Wisconsin. I am torn. I hate spending buckets of money only to watch us lose. On the other hand, should we upset either of those teams it would be an electric and thrilling moment. Beating North Dakota is no great thrill, but it sure as hell beats losing. And so my question is to my fellow out of State Husker fans who also like to travel to Lincoln for one game a year. What is your advice? In past decades it was a no brainer ... we always had a good chance of winning no matter the opponent and so I always favored the big games. But now that we are a bottom tier program (in terms of record only I mean) and we lose with consistency to any team with a pulse my fear is that I will attend a game where we not only lose but get our asses kicked and embarrassed. What to do?!
