honest question

growing up the past 10 years in Omaha, why the fvck would you want to be a nebraska fan?

I see more oregon and texas hats/clothes around when watching nephew play baseball than I ever see nebraska stuff
I’ll answer this question from a first person perspective. I’m 29 for reference.
Both parents are Huskers fans, mom born and raised in bfe Nebraska, dad was a military kid who didn’t live here full time until hs but still a fan.
Growing up I’d watch Nebraska with my parents. Memories of mom’s homemade wings and all the snacks still flood my mind.
I vaguely remember the Callahan days but do remember the day he got fired. Lol

Older brother whose 6 years older than me never liked Nebraska he’s a whorn but started because of augie and baseball.

Anyway being a stubborn child I routed against my parents and brother and those around me because I thought it was the cool thing todo. In 04 i became a usc “fan” i main just like Reggie.( yes i was i. Elementary school)
Fast forward 2008-09 tcu was playing Texas In baseball and me being a shithead sibling I rooted for them. Then it became my team. I warped my self into a horny toad.

To me it started as being a “rebel” but at that time I found other teams to be more interesting in multiple ways. Hell I even was more of a uno fan in regards to going to football games.

I really didn’t start converting back to nebie until sophomore junior year of hs after I had former teammates walk on.

I strongly remember sophomore hoco our first year in the Big, we were playing osu and I was pissing all my friends off as they were playing the game on the project.


So long story short for those who will TLDR, when I was younger it was more about “rebelling” and other teams being interesting.
 
my family was not nebraska fans.. i liked them cuase they were close (grew up SWI) and the best team. ahman green the goat
We moved to Lincoln from Virginia in late summer 1994 when I was 8 years old. Since both of my parents were faculty we had season tickets right away and the timing really couldn’t have been better to immediately turn me into a massive fan.
 
I need a tiny ten team to root for. The Sker colors check out. I am ready to ride!!!
