Been a rabid Husker fan since my dad took me to my first Husker game in 1964 when I was 6. I was at the game of the century with my dad and brother in Norman. I was in Miami, January 1, 1984 and was crushed by that loss. Been to every NU-OU home game since 1970.
I will never stop being a Husker fan. To me it means family, my love of my hometown, Lincoln, and pride in my home State. I still remember climbing the old chain link fence around the stadium to sneak into games with my Belmont buddies back in the early seventies, before they added all the concrete and barbed wire. I sold coke in the stands when I was in high school at Lincoln High. So this team is in my blood, my DNA. I could no more stop being a fan than I could cut off my own arm.
Today is the lowest I have felt about Husker football in my entire life. Watching us implode last night after outplaying MSU was a nightmare and knowing how damn important to the future of our program the game was made me doubly sick.
But I will never give up on this program or stop being a fan. Today I feel nothing but sadness. Not anger or bitterness or animosity. Just sadness, like when you realize something you hold precious really is lost.
Frost will get fired this year. I am 99% sure of that. And yet another coaching search will begin.
We will be back. We will be a good program again someday and maybe sooner than we think. But for now we need to hang in there. Don’t stop going to games. Don’t stop watching games. Don’t stop cheering for these great kids we have on this team.
