Yet let's be honest - when does the excitement begin? For our family, I don't thing it ever really ends. But I do know that once I start the fall semester I am happy to at least know that means that college football is coming soon!

When I lived in Nebraska, I remember the Friday night pep rallies. Part of the marching band would come in and play There is No Place Like Nebraska...and everyone would clap or sway along.Then early on Saturday morning you could go by the Student Union area of campus and have some hot dogs and pop as you were surrounded by other Husker fans. Parts of the marching band and cheerleaders would be around the quad playing music and doing cheers. You would see people (including young children, students, Larry the Cable Guy, elderly men) wearing their red proudly (some in more crazy fashion than others).

Then you waited outside Memorial Stadium to get in (once the gates would open). Surrounded by other dedicated fans who were the first to arrive in what once was a empty stadium that would soon be crammed with over 70,000 people.

It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
One thing I have always been certain of, Nebraska has the best and most loyal fans in all of college football. We have had sold out home games since 1962 (we're approaching 50 years folks!). We follow our team to support them for away games. After the game, the fans try to be very gracious, whether we win or lose. So here is to so many great seasons and to a great first year in the Big Ten Conference!
GOOOOOO BIGGGGGGGG REEEEDDDDDDD!!!!! GO BIG RED!!
