I don’t even care if we win or lose anymore. (1 Viewer)

[That SOB Van Owen]

I used to be upset when we lost. It used to hurt. When I was a kid growing up in the 90s, I was mad for like a week when we lost. I cried myself to sleep as a 12 year old after the CU game in 2001.

I kept caring with that same level of passion through the end of solich, Callahan, and Pelini. It probably waned year over year, but I think it really dropped off with the Riley era. I was fired back up in 2018 for frost, but the suckitude we saw in 2018 and 2019 just killed the enthusiasm that frost coming home had built.

now, I kinda hope we win, but if we lose it doesn’t affect me at all. Not one bit. I watched the game today, we lost, and I got up from the couch, said to myself “owell” and started on some shit around the house that needed done. Didn’t even listen to post game. It’s all the same tired excuses and rants now a days anyway. It doesn’t matter to me. I’ve come to accept that we are mediocre at best and very likely always will be.

I don’t really look forward to game day anymore, either. The thought of getting to watch the Huskers on Saturday used to get me through the week. Now it’s just another thing I do. No real excitement or enthusiasm for football.

I’ll continue to watch, but I just don’t have that enthusiasm I used to. I guess it’s probably healthier to not get so high or low on a sporting event played by 18-23 year olds, but it’s also kind of sad to look at the passion I used to have for husker football. My fandom has become a shell of its former self.

 

[ThomOsborneMD]

Yep

I can’t imagine a scenario where I watch another game. Hunting has become far more important to me than NU football. Just happened that this weekend was slated to be unseasonably warm, so I moved back my time off since the big boys aren’t moving

 

[Driveway Jordan]

We suck.

 

[huskermack]

Yeah. I’m not giving up early-ice fishing on Saturdays anymore.

 

[BushAK]

I’ll watch every game because it gives me something to look forward to and my whole region is shut down. I don’t get that upset by it anymore and haven’t for years.

I envy you, I wish I didn't care so much about Husker football. It's literally the worst fucking hobby. It's kinda pathetic how much time I invest in something that gives me no reward.

Yep. Anymore I look forward more to tailgating for home games than actually going

Still care and it still hurts. When does basketball start

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I think pandemic life has made me care more than I did last year because I just need something to look forward to until KING Nebrasketball starts.

But I'm not surprised to watch Frost get pimp slapped by any coach with a pulse

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

I just get on Twitter and bring the heat.

That helps me get over games like yesterday

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Oh boy you guys check out this pff numbers...... My nips are so hard right now

 

[BBTown Bomber]

Still care and it still hurts. When does VB start?

FIFY...... 😎

[Pro_V_DMB]

I wish I didn’t care. Games suck now, and I basically feel dread going into them

I think it's understandable and easier for someone your age ( 31-32 ) to be more apathetic these days, being that you were young during our 90's dominance and didn't see our good to great teams in the 80's ..

We've had years of practice of accepting the reality of how bad the Huskers have fallen but doesn't make it any easier watching the games. I'm still yelling and cussing, and part of me thinks that if we don't get better under Frost our program will never come close to being what we once were, so I find myself more invested these days I am desperately hoping for Frost to succeed because he's a native and a legacy and know how much he cares .. it was a little easier tuning out Callahan , Bo and Riley

 

[SoCal_Corn]

Still care and it still hurts. When does basketball Women's Volleyball start

FIFY

ALL of THIS^^^

I've been here since the 70s...hung on thru the 80s and the heartbreak...enjoyed the FUCK outta the 90s where we shoulda won: 93,94,95,96,97 and 99..and finally stopped LIVING FOR IT in the 2000s when people like KU and OSU beat the shit outta them...and now the B1G days are no better then those days in this millennium.

I feel for Frost...and I do want him to right this ship that has been rudderless since midway thru Fearless Frankie days. I still care and always will, but it won't ruin my weekends anymore.

I wish I had the mentality of an Cockeye fan but no matter how hard I try it doesn't work. I'm not as crabby as I used to be after games but every game I'm optimistic and every time we lose it hurts.

I thank God we don't have CockEye mentality!
