Michigan v Nebraska game experience

I've only been there once, way back in 2002 in the first game post-Eric Crouch, when they hosted one of those kickoff games a week early. I had heard that Nebraska fans are polite and classy.

Many, I'm sure, are: everyone I know from that region is great. But the actual experience I had with fans in the end zone was just annoying. They whined, they talked pompously about stuff, they of course had opinions about 1997. I've had better experiences as a neutral fan. Honestly, I've been at OSU where the fans near me (as distinct from the barbarian hordes that populate most of the area) were nicer than that. 

I don't have recent experience, so YMMV, but I thought Nebraska's game experience was more impressive to themselves than it is to outsiders. Which isn't bad--college football in person is just awesome, I don't care where you go--but it didn't measure up to other experiences.

Did you meet a girl outside Qdoba?

I was at the game last night.  I had a great time.   It was the first time I was ever in Nebraska and it is a college game day (and night) experience that every college football fan should experience.   The stadium is loud and when Nebraska was fighting back the stands were shaking.  A lot of loud piped in noise and not much band but that is the trend these days.  
 

The Nebraska fans in town were extremely polite.  All day I was welcomed to Lincoln and wished good luck almost as if it were an inside joke.  Yes I was told we were weasels and was asked stupid questions by a drunk kid while I was having dinner. When the drunk kid asked if thought our win against Wisconsin was impressive I told him I heard that the Badgers had a solid lead over Illinois.  I did tell him to bet on the under so I was wrong there. 

The fans booed Harbaugh but what would we do if they put urban on the Jumbotron.  Also I think we are the last fan base that can object to utterances of f$ck. 
 

I’m glad we won.   It made the flight home more fun.  

I’m watching the lions game now and nothing is more annoying than the Vikings horn. 

I wasn’t there, but in a previous life I lived in Saginaw (which I think your handle name refers to). That’s all I have to add to this thread. 

I had a great time at the game. The atmosphere was electric, and the Nebraska fans were ridiculously nice to my dad and I (I got hugs from people leaving the game, they definitely needed it). They were also extremely ornery about the refs and wanting to finally win a big game.

They also knew their football. A Nebraska fan next to me said, "forgive me if it's taboo to say, but that Corum kid looks like a fast Mike Hart out there." I had to laugh and agree with him.

The tailgating and pre-game scene was a bit underwhelming, and felt their students kinda sucked. But the stadium/game itself was extremely fun and would recommend going in 17 years when Michigan plays there again finally.

I was at our game against Neb back in 2013; took my father out to a few bars before the game (late afternoon kickoff).  Saw a number of Neb fans there... many (if not most) being loud, obnoxious & rude (and this was close to lunchtime/early afternoon).

The day wasn't made any better with Al Borges running the ball into a brick wall ~40 times that day for almost no gain.

How could they not understand the shared possession rule?  It's the same as when your QB throws a pass and your receiver and an opposing defender catch it simultaneously.  It's always awarded to the offense.  That rule has been around forever.  

The B1G wants Michigan undefeated?  F*cking hilarious.  That's Penn State fan level of delusion.  

Lincoln as a town didn't seem that great. Tailgating was underwhelming. The stadium experience was nice and loud but no louder than our Washington game.

I was wondering why Michigan got possession after Dax's taunting penalty too. My only comparison was the one Ojabo got in the Western Michigan game, which I believe kept a drive going. I almost had a stroke when they said there was a flag. How was one penalty different from the other?  

Was at the game. Tailgating was underwhelming but an extremely relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Lots of Nebraska fans walked by and said good luck.  A guy did yell fuck Michigan at us but then multiple Nebraska fans came over and apologized for the guy. 
The game itself was extremely loud and I felt had an electric atmosphere. A lot of piped in noise but I thought the fans responded really well to it. The PA announcer was a gigantic homer. Which is fine but like on the shared possession call he called in Nebraskas ball multiple times. Almost everyone around me was friendly. There was a couple young guys (in their 20s I would guess) who were annoying throughout the game. Fuck being the most prominent word in their vocabulary. And really attacking Harbaugh for anything and everything. I mean rich rod had a better record at Michigan than Scott frost does at Nebraska.

After the game, lots of Nebraska fans said good game and wished us good luck and hopes that we’d beat Ohio st.  
Getting out of the stadium was a mess. Way to narrow to move 87k out. And then the area where the stadium is located is where all their athletic stadiums are located and then bars and parking garages and not much else. It was a disaster trying to get back to Omaha. Took us over 3 hours. 

I thought the game experience was amazing, I put it right up there with the white out at Penn State two years ago. The fans around me were incredibly nice and gracious. It was loud and energetic the entire game. I did think the fans lacked some football knowledge (they didn't understand that Cade threw into triple coverage because it was a free offsides play etc.). I thought it was very cool how you could just walk right down to the field and walk around on the track. We didn't find any actual tailgating, but the bars around the Haymarket area were bumping leading up to the game. Overall, I thought Lincoln was pretty forgettable but a great game experience. 

I was there. Section 108, mid level on the Nebraska sideline. 
 

Impressions:

• It was very, very loud on big plays. 
   
• Nebraska & their fans wanted this win BADLY. And they were livid with the refs. After all the reviews in the 2nd Quarter it got wayyyy more hostile in there. Every time we gained any yards, on any play, a nitwit behind me screamed “nice play refs! Cheaters!”
   
• The atmosphere was pretty great & the parts of the stadium experience that are handled by the control booth went off very well. Good videos, cool light shows, piped in lots of music. 
   
• Their band is lame & a complete non-factor. I don’t even remember them playing anything throughout the game, and I was sitting near them. Was all piped in music. Student section seemed smaller/more indistinct than most schools too. 
   
• Overall, the fans were nice. Miles better than you’d get at any of our rivals. But not THAT nice. They definitely boo-ed our team when we entered pregame (I thought I heard they traditionally cheer?). And people hate Harbaugh and were screaming about him often. Fuck Jim Harbaugh chants went up several times. 
   
• Post game we got a few snide remarks and a few good games.  
   
• The Nebraska campus itself is pretty pedestrian/blah, but Lincoln is a very nice college town & has a lot of restaurants, fun bars, and outdoor seating. 
   
• Memorial Stadium is great. Though long lines getting out. We stayed a while just sitting in our seats to wait it out, but if you actually wanted to leave quick it would’ve been traffic jam city. 
   
• Weather was PERFECT for a night game. Completely comfortable without needing a jacket while also never being hot. 
   

most memorable insult towards us was in the 2nd quarter pulling away a guy yelled “God, I can’t wait to watch Ohio State kill them again.” I decided against it, but was very tempted to yell “well, they’re going to come in here & kill you first.”

Eh, I’ve been to Lincoln several times. I’ve seen them against KSU back in the day and against UM twice now. I took my kid for the first time last night and as always, the fans were great. Even walking out after that heartbreaking loss, fans were asking my son if he had fun and I heard “thanks for coming” so many times, I started to feel bad. As always, their are dipshit fans everywhere, but for the most part, there isn’t a better place to take a young kid to a road game than to Lincoln. 
 

also, they were real fucking loud this game. Way louder than I remember in the past. My son and I both had a blast. 

Nobody is worse than Purdue fans somehow

My experience was great. The fans were great.  Sure they booed the refs, and some of the play calls, but every fan I interacted from Friday night to Sunday morning was great.  They take pride in being nice.
