Just to change the topic a bit, what’s with the 20-something guys strutting out at halftime like they’re the clever ones? Give me a break. And I’ll put the students in that group too. “I’ll walk out to show them players!”
Yeah, right.
Damn, the players aren’t causing this. Whether it’s a lack of talent or physical ability, or a lack of preparation by the coaches, or deficiencies in play calling, I won’t believe the players aren’t giving their all. I don’t believe there’s an athlete out there who doesn’t give it their all, if nothing else to not be humiliated.
Abandoning them when the going gets toughest saus more about you than them. We stayed to the end, and there were more, far more Nebraska fans in Memorial Stadium, all of them chanting “GO BIG RED!”
Embarrassing? Nebraska was mocking Illinois fans who left, if not more so, than the empty seats in the home and student sections.
