Sellout streak is a nice fan accomplishment but unfortunately often has nothing to do with football success.
So who do we put in instead of Martinez? Vedral was injured and the emergency QB. Luke didn’t even make the trip. Bunch? Maybe, but I don’t see him giving us a better chance of winning...It does the exact opposite IMO. We keep filling up seats even if the performance is terrible. That gives the mentality that they don't have to earn our fandom. If we all boycotted the stadium and television sets for one game, there would be some big moves made in the right direction.
A 5 year old could have saw Martinez was making the wrong decisions against Purdue. That type of play needs to be called out, and shown no one is above making dumb mistakes over and over again.
I get it, it is a double edged sword, but something needs to change. What we are doing isn't working, and yet we keep traveling to see a below average football team. We are the loyalist fans in the country, but also the most blind
Right, thats what I have been saying. Nebraska doesn't want the sell out streak to end? Stop making people pay thousands of dollars for season tickets. Lower ticket prices so anyone and everyone can afford them and I guarantee people will buy them.Easier yet, just sell them for $1 a pop to local nonprofits. Or local schools.

You can get 3rd party tickets for pretty damn cheap right now. $50 puts you 40 rows up on the 50 this weekend. $15 gets you in the endzones.Right, thats what I have been saying.

Really, where? I looked at stubhub and other sites and it was $35 for crap seats. $100+ for anything decent.You can get 3rd party tickets for pretty damn cheap right now. $50 puts you 40 rows up on the 50 this weekend. $15 gets you in the endzones.
I understand that boosters and corporate have been buying tickets for awhile. I don't understand how it is not a sell out streak? Doesn't really matter how or who buys the tickets as long as they are all bought. It is still sold out, no? This has never been a butts in seats streak. I would bet there isn't a program in the country that could fill every seat, every game for even a season. Let alone 60+ yearsThe stadium was only 85% full during the Riley years...the games are being bought up by donors and boosters, or corporate. People are tailgating outside and the numbers are being inflated. The sell-out streak is another myth like Academic All-americans, winning with honor and integrity...blah, blah...CF is one of the most insidious sports in the history of sports. It has been completely unregulated for most of its history and the winners almost universally cheat in one way or another. This is just a way for us to sell our program, but it is a lie and has been for a while.
Sellout streak is fake. Not really a fan accomplishment but an ego builder that is pointless when everyone knows the truth behind it.Sellout streak is a nice fan accomplishment but unfortunately often has nothing to do with football success. Even in the bad days Wisconsin fans jammed their stadium mostly to sing their favorite songs. Whether you think we made a mistake or not joining the B1G, it is hard to argue with the passion of most B1G fan bases.
It used to be fun to see/hear our jammed and allegedly sold out house either on tv or in person. While we lost games it didn’t happen often and almost never were we blown out. So the place was rocking for four quarters. But in recent years it is almost pathetic to see so many people with nothing better to do than watch another bad loss for two or three quarters. Hopefully, win or lose on Saturday it is at least competitive for four quarters and all of those fans will have a blast.

Then start producing results! These guys don't deserve to play in front of full crowds, with lazy play!The sellout streak is important to keep, players love playing in front of a full house. There is no better way to continue to support the program than by continuing to buy your season tickets.
I will continue to support the program through the current bad times and really enjoy once the huskers get back to where they belong
I was looking for 5 together if that makes a diff.not sure what your looking at , they are 0nly 15.00 on stubhub
YesI was looking for 5 together if that makes a diff.
And... There was probably 10k NU fans there to watch us play a bunch of crap footballFyi
the stadium was not full at Minnesota by the way
far from it!
Have you made your demands known to the team? I’m sure they would have tried harder if they knew how you felt.Then start producing results! These guys don't deserve to play in front of full crowds, with lazy play!
I have been to 2 games this year NIU and Minnesota in Minnesota. I love this school and I love Nebraska sports, I just want these players to give their all every down. That isn't happening anymore, and if we are going to pay our money to watch them play. They at the very least need to play with 100% effort.
I froze my *$$ off in Minnesota to watch a bunch of nothing. You aren't going to see Northwestern fans doing that! I feel like a sucker
Fans not showing up to games isn't going to do anything to help. That's about the only thing we have going right now is the fans, and yes that has a huge impact over the long term.It does the exact opposite IMO. We keep filling up seats even if the performance is terrible. That gives the mentality that they don't have to earn our fandom. If we all boycotted the stadium and television sets for one game, there would be some big moves made in the right direction.

What a stupid statement. When talking about Nebraska, one thing recruits always mention is the fan base. Recruits notice it. Just because you say they don’t doesn’t make it true.It means nothing to recruits and only the old timers at Nebraska. Everyone in the country knows it’s bs but it’s all Nebraska has to hang its hat on. Kind of like getting a sportsmanship award rather then winning a tournament!
Except it doesn't work that way. Not selling out the stadium isn't going to make us a better team or help us win.I'd trade the bogus sellout streak for a bowl game right now. Everybody knows it ended a long time ago, anyway.
Are they really even sold though? What are the chances that athletic department covers a few thousands tickets each game from a "booster fund", the tickets go into this pot, the tickets are given out to corporate, which I know happens and it appears on the simple sales sheet that they have been sold. 15k people giving up hundreds of dollars just to sit out a game doesn't sound right to me.Sellout does not equal full attendance. A game can be sold and be empty on game day.
The fact that the sellout streak is this important just shows that we have nothing else to promote. When the best aspect of your program is the number of people that buy tickets that’s pretty sad.
That is literally what my post says. Of course we want a passionate fan base but when ticket sales is your largest source of pride instead of like oh I don’t know wins or quantifiable improvement then yeah that’s sad. Your post said you disagree and then basically reworded what I said.No, that's not true. Not one program in the country would say having a passionate fan base is sad. Even if that were their best aspect. What it means is that the program has an incredible fan base that deserves better than the garbage that is being trotted on the field year-in and year-out since TO. That is what's sad.
