Going back to the "best fans in the world" statement; I have always rode the fence on the topic.
I have, in the past, lamented the group of fair weather fans that exist. That group attends because they simply want to be present at certain events. They are important; but in a different way. They put coin in the pockets of the program. They tend to frustrate me a bit; but they are necessary.
Then there are the core fans. The diehards. Most of us qualify as we live and die with our husker programs. I am on a high one day (husker vb accomplishment) and then hours later I can't sleep due the football loss.
So yeah, we may be the best fans, or we may not be; but for a lot of us, we certainly live the various lows and luckily a high every once in a while.
