The Lincoln Gameday Experience

Exact opposite of how I’ll treat anyone I see wearing red. I must be a giant asshole because when I see opposing fans I just glare at them and can’t wait to make sure they know they’re losing.
 
Was walking across that giant pedestrian bridge from the North toward the stadium and a woman older than me (and I'm in my 50s) starts talking about how great her Nub fans are when a group of 15 sorority type girls go by all dressed in red except the last two, which were sporting Buff gear. They were dressed a bit slutty but so were about 5 of the Nub girls. The lady starts going on about "CU girls are so slutty". I called her on it. Look lady, I've been eyeballing college girls and their slutty threads for 35 years now. I know WTF I am talking about when it comes to slutty college girls and CU has exactly as many as every other school I've been around minus a few churchy types such as BYU. At those schools, they save the sluttiness for behind closed doors.

Then got to the tailgate with some friends from NE. I had several different conversations that all went the same way. All the passive agressive stuff outlined above followed by how bad CU fans can be with the "sliced tires" being the go-to. Every single one of them backed down when I declared the tires an urban legend and I'd be surprised if it had happened more than 1 or 2 times.

Folks, there's rotten apples (and slutty girls) everywhere. Stop breaking your arms patting yourselves on your back!

But if you didn't strut into our stadium all decked out in Red, acting so goddamned smug all the time, and if you didn't do it in such nauseating numbers, we wouldn't really care. And quit bait fishing in our damn rivers!

**** all y'all, you're slipping.
 
They're weird. We had a fair amount of fun at their expense while we were there, but still one of the odder opposing fanbases I've ever been around. The railyard is pretty cool. and Single Barrel (other than Grandma and the goofy band there) was really cool Friday. They get really defensive when you make fun of their traditions......and their congratulations routine was a little fake. All in all-one HELL of a weekend. As a fan of this program, I think the only thing that tops serenading the Fuskers as they left Memorial Stadium Saturday with our fight song is winning championships.

CU winning on the last play of the game certainly had a lot to do with it, but my wife and I had a great time in Lincoln. Some thoughts—

The people were (almost) uniformly friendly and welcoming. Every time I turned around during the pre-game period people were saying “welcome to Lincoln.” Often I got “good luck for your team today.” While I think that most of us in Colorado are polite to visiting fans, that politeness takes the form of indifference. This was something different. There was only one Nebraska jackasss, who got in my face as we were walking into the stadium, and yelled “you guys are going to get killed.” I congratulated him on being the only rude Nebraska fan I had seen.

The Nebraska band learned and played the CU fight song at the game, which was surprising and very classy. I am sure that it is a traditional thing for all visiting teams, but it is a great gesture of goodwill.

The stadium itself is big and loud, but the stadium experience left something to be desired. We were in (I think) the west end zone (hard to say, as there are no mountains to tell me what was west). There were essentially zero concessions, except for some kids selling sodapop and runzas (kind of like a hot pocket) out of portable containers. You had to walk all the way down to the ground level (we were in row 98) to get to a bathroom. At the end of the game, after CU won, all the Nebraska fans seemed to stay in their seats. I asked one of them what was going on, was there a post-game thing they were waiting for, and he said that there was so little egress from the stadium that there was no point in getting up and trying to leave, and that lots of people waited for a half hour so that the crowd thinned out a bit. It did take a while to get out.

The Haymarket was pretty cool, but a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I would take Pearl Street or Lodo any day of the week.

The Nebraska fans are real serious about tailgating. They made CU tailgating look like a joke, and a bad joke at that.

I will say that being high up in a stadium that big makes a huge difference. I was in the top row of the upper deck for the 2013/14 AFC championship and it was by far the quietest Mile High experience I've ever had, and I know it wasn't because the crowd was actually quieter than usual.
 
Not Sure said:
The water taps and sewer hookups are already there. This truly is a non-starter, though. There’s nothing Boulder can do to stop it if it’s something CU decides to do.

And for ****s sake, this would go somewhere like east campus or near the current family housing, not on the freaking Norlin Quad. Good lord, people. Think a little.

I've said it on this board over a decade ago..... You will pull out of the Nebraska experiance or any road trip what your mind has already predetermined it is. If you want to have a bad experience you will look for and focus on that and make it fit your desired narrative.
Be it One crusty old lady, to many people asking if you are having fun, hearing "welcome to Lincoln" 100times to many, crowd volume..... Whatever. Subliminally you have hate for Nebraska so that's what you going to find, things to hate......




Or I might be full of ****.:ROFLMAO:

Well, you did boast of Yuengling being served at your tailgate.

If you really were sincere about offering Buff fans an experience in Lincoln worthy of the title of greatest college fans around, there are about 300 better beer options from which to choose.

The contortions that you make to chastise while appearing friendly is next level passive aggressive. There is nothing subliminal about our hate which is born out of Nebraska sanctimony.

What really makes for a good road trip isn’t as complicated as you are making it out to be. The key ingredient to enjoying a road trip is coming away with the W.

Hey, the offer was accepted by one.... It's odd but the group of slutty dressed CU/NU girls mentioned earlier may have been our tailgate, I have pics were they can be seen in the background. I even made a post about it on one of these threads. I swear what Unleash described about Friday nite cashing in early was the exact thing a CU fan said to me when I noted to this fan that I thought the streets were kinda empty, more empty than normal. It's almost to a T what he said back to me. Would have been fun to meet more of you. Life can be short, chances like that don't happen often.

The fraternity between rival fans who mutually love the game is one reason college football is such a cherished cultural institution. Hats off to you for rolling out the welcome mat and making the effort to connect.

I am not an attorney. I never claimed to be one. You may have me confused with @BuffsNYC.

You’re making a really outlandish claim. It seems like you’d be the one who’d need to support it.

The City does not have any say over what CU does on its own property, this is true. But, the city does have a say on how it’s services are allocated (water and sewer)....this has become particularly important as CU tries to develop CU South. For this, and many other reasons CU made a decision a long time ago to “play nice” with the city of Boulder and not cram things down their throat.

Not a lot of rif raf can afford $250+K motor coaches if that's your concern, in that pic there's probably close to 5-6 Mill in RVs....the smell of donor money is stronger than the smell of BBQ.
Comparing A&M's tailgating to CU's...there isn't any, I've tailgated at A&M during the B12 yrs and since realignment.
There's a number of reasons why an RV area won't/hasn't happened at CU, weather and who owns them being the most obvious and it's a lost revenue stream for the AD sad to say.

There are worse retirement options than road tripping based upon the schedules of CU’s football, basketball, and, well, every other sport, too.
