Huskerpapa Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) The mainstream media has to pick it up and promote it to a certain extent. There can be a grass root effort, but it is hard for some to understand what is going on and why. For the students, it is sort of same-o-same-o...so I ask the student leaders, what can you do that is different and more rowdy (yet acceptable) in the student section? To make a difference, you have to be the best of the best OR you need to do something unique. Edited February 21, 2018 by huskercwg Quote

jimmykc Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 No sit Sunday was unique. Let's not make it a "tradition" for any game which is important. There will be at least one of those every year. nuhusker7 1 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Whatever will be, will be. Nebrasketball can only play (and win) the games in front of 'em. Let's help the team on Sunday! GBR Bugeaters1 1 Quote

It was one of the best atmospheres I have ever witnessed and will be hard to duplicate but its okay to try isn't it??? This team deserves an NCAA bid and if we can help in anyway possible we should..

hhcmatt Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 It doesn't matter if this is as good as some other year. We need to win a game against a white hot Penn St team where I think you can argue that a not as good Indiana team gets people more pumped. I'll stand or I'll watch the bench put on Macbeth if I think it will help get us to 22 wins. Ron Mexico, ladyhusker, Buglem and 3 others 5 1 Quote

Handy Johnson Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 This game shouldn't be treated like a "white buffalo" and WILL become the norm around these parts and hardly the exception.

To make a difference, you have to be the best of the best OR you need to do something unique. This will be my first year as a GEN seating fan for a possible NSS, last time it was as a student in 14, and it was really cool seeing the rest of the City get behind the team and show it in a unique way. I think that a pivotal factor in continuing and fostering a basketball tradition in a place without any prior trace like Lincoln, is to get people like me who were students, to continue the passion, translating into buying season tickets and being faithful. That way you get nebrasketball fans who are of the same mind, and know how to be good fans and are also passionate about the lifetime interest (overarching lifestyle, actually) . As for NSS II, I hope we can find a way through grassroots (which can and will happen naturally due to the fanatiscism of people like us) and Official Nebraska sponsorship, to give it a little push. I think you give it that little push and it'll happen, since, I agree, we really appreciate our Nebrasketball team and want to thank the seniors and what everyone put in in sweat this year. We'll see, but I like the chances that it'll happen. I'm here and ready to help in any way I can!! I can use my voice on twitter to push the movement, and probably will... Quote

hhcmatt Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Are we doing this or what? I know you guys aren't short on opinions so throw them out Quote
hskr4life Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 I say make the push for it. If it'll pump up the team (They are college kids, this will get them pumped up) than go for it. If it means upsetting a few in order for us to have a better chance to dance I am ok with it. However, I also stand for most Nebrasketball games, even when I am at home, so my opinion might be skewed. HolyBobpilgrimage 1 Quote
