Day 59- In The Deed The Glory - Nebraska Tunnel Walk

Dear UNL,

     This past Footbal season was something else.  That is for sure.  Looking back to the games we went too, the football players we saw on campus, and the millions of husker shirts and pants and hats we saw in the city alone brings us to this letter.  We know football season is over.  Actually, we're a little saddened by it.  But it's the past now and we can reminisce about the great moments.

     Watching this little video, we actually got goosebumbps.  It reminded us of why we love Husker Football.  Why we go to the games, good and bad, and still come out die hard Husker Fans.There are many reasons that Huskers have fans all around the world.  We randomly polled our audience and we're here to give you a few of those reasons.  Le us know if we missed ones that might be important to you.  Afterall, we're only human, so we will have missed some. :)

Husker Nation: Husker fans EVERYWHERE you go, young, old, AND everything in between.

That feeling you get, standing in the student section at a home footbal game, everyone cheering for the same team as they rush onto the field.

Holding your shoe up before kick-off and throwing the bones for the Defense.

CaNUfeelit?

The stands taking turns screaming "HUSKER!!"....."POWER!!".

The loud, deafining, roar of 81,091 HUSKER FANS as they cheer on the best team in college football.


The crowd roaring "SUUUUHHHHHHHHH" in the stands the season before.

The fact that games have been sold out since 1962.

Day by Day, we get better and better. Husker prayer before every game.
