My bad. Jarvis Redwine is a classic. Like I said, I knew I was forgetting some.

Another is Elvis Peacock. How about your Sooner credentials??

My brother and I attended the ‘00 game in Norman. Not a great day for the Big Red. But we were treated VERY well. Spent the second half outside watching the game on the big screen surrounded by OU fans. Not one of them was rude or obnoxious, just friendly jibing going on. After the game we headed to the Irish pub there on campus for many more beers. Met the owner of the steakhouse out on I-35. He invited us for dinner. We went and he picked up the entire tab including drinks. I’ve been to several classes on the OU campus and enjoy Norman immensely. People are just friendly. And, of course, WAFFLE HOUSE!!!

This rivalry needs to be renewed on an annual basis!!

I only had one opportunity to see a game in “the snake pit”. The Huskers won that game. I had a wonderful seat surrounded by Sooner fans. The Sooners were great and treated me as they would a guest in there home. The historic rivalry and respect between our programs is unique. I believe all true Husker and Sooner fans miss the annual meetings.

Been to the Mountain in Soonerland and I have to tell you one of the greatest expieriences known to man. One better, the VA TECH fans in blackburg were almost “stepford wife” like with their treatment of us!
Never in my life was I treated better! Every bit as good as the huskers treat visitors. Now let me digress to some of the other stadiums that were discussed. I am surprised to hear that someone was not treated with respect at the Washington game in Seattle. Was a great expierience! Very knowledgeable tree huggers! Great fans! Texas was also awesome for a husker fan! Waco Boring, Lubbock was a blast! Missouri as some awesome looking girls in area (sorry that is all I can say nice)! K-state needs to learn how to win which may be tough since they were losers for so long! Kansas and OK state are a bit apathetic (must be saving life for their b-ball fans)!
I was at Mich/COLO game the day of “the catch” and I have to tell you I have never seen a a more silent stadium thoughout the game. Everyone was about 90 and too rich to stand up and clap! But the expierience everyone must have once in there life is a trip to the “Nittany Lions” They are the 10 of the world’s worst fans! (colorado would be next at a rating of 5) Everyone should have the chance to visit the class acts that were spitting and cursing and punching the husker fans as we entered the stadium and left. They were classy bunch that did not discriminate on who they did this too rather you were young or old, male or female. They treated all the same! Not to be outdone by the bar managers before and after the game that explained that the bar was reserved for Lion fans! It was ok because we all able to wear enough beer on the way in! OU. Va tech and Husker fans are among the best and I appreciate everygame I can muster enough money to appreciate the settings!!!!

I was very well in Norman as a visting fan last year. One guy even bought me a hot dog! Even if it’s not every year anymore OU-NU is stil great, and it’s still respectful

ponderos—called it like I saw it. The polar opposite of the treatment in Seattle last year where students tried to start fights with us and people threw shit from their cars.

You must attract trouble then because that was the most docile, reasonable fanbase I’ve ever seen. They even thanked us for helping to get Willingham fired.

Great read,

As a life long Buckeye Fan currently living in New Mexico, I had the privilege to go to the game with a good friend of mine that is a born & bred graduate of Nebraska. I have been to the “Shoe” quite a few times in Columbus and it is Mecca for me – that said. The visit to Lincoln and Memorial Stadium turned out out be one of the best football experiences of my life. Husker Fans are a special group for sure – the stadium rocked. We have a much different relationship with Michigan so this was refreshing. I also attended Sidetracks and loved it. Lincoln is a place that should be a model for what college football fans should aspire to be. This die hard Buckeye was blown away. Good luck Husker Nation you’re a class act.
