Husker Power

I think everyone needs to see a few pictures of the insanity we experienced last night. These Nebraskans don't kid around when it comes to football! USC was in town, making it easily the biggest event in Lincoln all year. We set a NCAA record for the most consecutive sellouts (I think in the 280's), and there were almost 85,000 fans there. We arrived at the stadium a mere 2 1/2 hours before the game started and still found ourselves halfway back in the line to get in, even though the doors still didn't open for another hour! It's quite the feeling though, being in the middle of the student section, with the power of red all around you. We got into the fight song and cheers for the first half, which was fun. Then of course came the second half though when USC really showed their dominance, so it got harder to cheer! I wish I could have captured on film all the people in corn hats, painted bodies in overalls, and the extreme amount of tailgaiting that had been going on since Thursday when professors started letting people out of class early to party. Anyway, it was definitely something I'll always remember from our time here in Lincoln.
