Ever since Nebraska joined the B1G, I've heard about how they travel well, are gracious hosts, are educated fans, and are very good sports about winning and losing. There was a decent amount of red in the stands last week, but what stood out to me were the three huskers sitting behind me. They were respectful, courteous, educated about the game, and at times appreciative of a good Michigan play because it was good football. After one Michigan touchdown, one of the huskers was doing a slow motion clap as to say "well done," despite it meant his team was going to lose.
This day in age it is rare to see sportsmanship of this kind. Especially when I compare this experience to my brother, who is the opposite of husker fan in favor of Michigan State. For example, instead of the slow motion respect-clap, it would be like "eff-you, you son of a *&^&*, ref, why have you forsaken me?!?!?!?"
Well done corn, well done. I used to hate Nebraska because they went undefeated and shared the 1997 national championship. But it wasn't their fault they went undefeated. I forgive you.
