Are Nebraska Football Fans Part of the Problem?
We’ve hinted at it. It’s come up before. But we have never devoted an entire episode to the discussion. Until now.
This week, the Common Fans take on a slightly uncomfortable question about Nebraska football: are we part of the problem? Not the administration. Not the coaches. Not the players.
The fans.
It’s a conversation that came directly from the Common Fan community, and it turns into an honest, passionate, wide-ranging discussion about the role of the fans, and whether or not our passion has inadvertently made it harder for the football team to get back to its winning ways.
Does an Empty Seat Speak Louder Than a Filled One?
Nebraska’s sellout streak is one of the most iconic things in college football. It’s a badge of honor for the fan base. It’s a recruiting tool for the team and the coaching staff. It’s a point of pride from Omaha to Scottsbluff.
