You would check the recruiting board for any Whiff of or interest in Nebraska expressed by a recruit ? When you would continue to check for the arrival of Tunnel Talk or the HOL five part hour long podcast with all the latest Husker news? When you would stream or record the FOX, BIG & ESPN Game Day shows always looking for a National compliment for the Huskers? You followed the weekly update of the coaches & media rankings anticipating an upward move for our football team? Watched Game Day Final hoping for a helmet sticker? Rewatched Saturdays game to relive those good feelings a second time? Experienced a continuous feeling of pride and self validation in your Husker love affair? Annually updated your Husker gear before the season kicked off? Experienced the joy of game day at Memorial Stadium with Husker Nation?
All those things that made up a big part (perhaps too big) of my life’s enjoyment have eroded over the past 10-15 years. But the past two Saturdays have dealt a near fatal blow to what remained of my attachment. I have become indifferent. I no longer look forward to anything Huskers. The continuing disappointment and erosion of a once very proud program is almost past the point of no return. I don’t have a clue how this thing will get turned around. I really doubt it can be turned around in today’s environment. I know it won’t happen in my life time and that makes me even sadder. That’s all I got. I’m not alone and that’s what will force a decision, good or bad, on how we proceed with fixing this very broken vessel.
