Went to the game Saturday. Couldn't be prouder of that football team. I'm a native South Dakotan and went to SDSU but have lived in Nebraska for about 16 years. My wife went to Nebraska and is a big fan and we have Husker season tickets. I wore my blue and tailgated for about 4 hours before the game. A lot of fun, absolutely no problems from the Husker fans.
I was about the only one in Blue in my section and I was maybe being a little obnoxious (just ask my wife) but all good natured. With all the drinking at the tailgating my bravery level was up pretty good. Funny story, there was one guy in front of me that was giving it back a little. Finally he said something like "oh yeah well we beat Minnesota". I said you must be from USD and he said he was. I said "so you have to come to a Husker game in Lincoln, NE when USD isn't even playing to cheer against the Jacks." I then told him I thought the win against Minnesota was awesome. He didn't say much after that.
After the game I told everyone the game I saw had a score of 17-17. 2 touchdowns erased. Minnett was over the goal line and the illegal block call was BS. Huskers fans still all had nothing but good things to say about SDSU and then reminded me that they were 4-0 and we were 0-3.
My takes:
Minnett; absolute stud. Really ran tough and put some good licks on people.
Derek Domino; stud. Must have had 25 tackles. After his TD was called back whenever the announcer would say "tackle by Derek Domino" I would yell out "Derek Domino; thats the guy that scored the TD they called back on the BS call."
Anyway this is the one chance in my life I get to raz Husker fans about the Jacks so I will be taking advantage all week. I'm going to tell them I would like to thank Steve Peterson for scheduling this game and tell them they should ask Pelini what he thinks about scheduling 1-AA teams from now on.
