Well, those are the people who can typically afford to travel to a big OOC game. They still shouldn't be treated like [Mark May] because they happened to grow up in a different part of the country and root for a different team.

To the others. Read this thread on ShaggyBevo then get back to me about what gracious hosts our fans were to Texas fans. Or do a search on the site and look at the multitude of similar threads after the game in 2005.

Back to the Nebraska game.

I was at the game, and I saw more over the line [Mark May] than I want to admit. It was the worst treatment of visiting fans that I've witnessed anywhere except for how Ohio State fans were treated in Baton Rouge in 88. I also have a good friend in Chicago who is a UT alum, and I have no reason to doubt his stories of what happened outside the stadium. There are were no excuses....no "few bad apples" about it, which is why--despite how embarrassing it was--Holbrook was right to issue the apology.

That being said, the one guy on the shag just needs to get the [censored] over it. Listening to him whine about it like he survived Auschwitz 7 years later makes me want to beat on her like Ike Turner.

BTW, by all indications, that [Mark May] has really calmed down. I don't know if it was Gee clubbing the Hineygate like a baby seal, undercover cops around campus, a redirection of enforcement towards behavior rather than social drinking or what. Maybe the trouble making element doesn't have the funds post-recession to waste a Saturday drinking overpriced beers on Lane Avenue, but something positive has occurred. The Cal board had numerous threads saying it was some of the best visiting fan treatment they ever experienced after being told horror stories for 12 months by trolling UM and UT fans.

I was in Columbus at a bar after Ohio State hosted Colorado last year. Met 4 or 5 Colorado fans who hadn't been to the Horseshoe until that day, and they seemed to have a great time. Said the stadium is an amazing atmosphere, and that they were treated pretty well, with the exception of the occasional douche bag.

I wasn't at the game in 2005, so I don't know what went on. From what I hear, it sounds pretty disgraceful. I do know that when I went to the PSU game in 2008, even their fans were treated fairly well.

Tucker McElroy as your mascot. Hmmm, maybe I've been too harsh on the corn.

Colorado fans may not be the best measuring stick...just sayin. Too bad about Jordon Hall but we'll take the advantage. Now we just need to stop Braxton....I crack myself up.

Just an observation I had the last time I was around Columbus on Game Day interacting (sober or not, I'll let you decide) with the opposing team's fans.

You do know that I hold Tucker McElroty--lead singer and driver of the Winnebago--in the highest regard? Nice call on the Stewie analogy.

I didn't know, thought you were being spectacular again :wink: It was either Stewie analogy or try to convince everyone that you shouldn't make fun of Herbie Husker since he is a real person this year. Some bloke from the Sandhills that is suffering from elephant man disease. I figured it would keep your fans distracted for a quarter or two. Feel free to let loose on this mascot. I wanted to pop him since day one.

Good lord, reminds me of the inflatable Warrior mascot they brought in the year after I graduated from Wayne. :sick1:

I'll see if I can find a picture.

Google is failing me, I'll see if I can snap a picture at the next home game. He has the most ridiculously short T-rex arms... It's hilarious.

You'll need to schedule Ohio University if you want to see him popped. :lol:
