I don’t know what you think about SEC fans, but you do realize some of the people you are talking to are Arkansas Razorback fans, right? A state of 2-3 million, with a school that has facilities better than or equal to states and schools with 10 times the population.

Arkansas fans (and other SEC fans) just aren't like Nebraska fans. I promise. Arkansas fans love their team but it isn't a hopeless infatuation.

And Arkansas is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. When Arkansas dropped off, the fan interest dropped off some. Attendance and interest dropped off some as well.

Nebraska has had five losing seasons in six years and is working on a sixth one. Yet fan interest remains the same. They are totally obsessed with Husker football and the hope that it can achieve its former glory.

If this statement follows with anything about football…. You are incorrect approximately 98% of the time.

In Nebraska he wouldn’t have a basketball coach reminding him it’s really a basketball school.

AD Barnhart pretty much pit Cal in his place..... Mitch said NO to Cal on new bball training facility and that we aren’t strictly a bball school or strictly a football school, we're both. Cal got his hands smacked pretty hard, he was embarrassed that the AD didn't back him. This ain't UK of old.....

Nebraska is a one sport program unlike Arkansas who has divided fan interest in football, basketball and baseball. That means season tickets to all three major sports and thus splits the fan support into which of the three who they want to be the most supportive of.

Anyone remember this a year ago? This TatooBaker account created and tweeted this and some Nebby fans saw it and were pissed they would play in this uniform lol. They actually believed it! Was a great viral troll.

Here’s the tweet:

“Sources | Nebraska to unveil “Lil Red” alt. uniforms vs Oklahoma September 18th. “
