Some may say they are fans, but only the true will know these Husker facts.
1. The Sellout Streak
One of the things that define the Nebraska Cornhuskers is their sellout streak. The Huskers have an ongoing 353 consecutive sellout game streak that began when JFK was president in 1962.
2. Release of the Red Balloons
There’s nothing better than seeing the release of those red balloons after the first score made in Memorial Stadium.
3. The Sea of Red
Husker fans will travel far and wide, to the ends of the Earth to support their team. So it’s no surprise that on game day the only thing you can see in Memorial Stadium is The Sea of Red. In fact, on game day, Memorial Stadium becomes the 3rd largest city in Nebraska.
4. The Term "Blackshirts"
Unless you’re a true Cornhusker, you won’t know that “Blackshirts” refers to Nebraska’s first-string defensive players or about their sick black jerseys that come out to the field on those very, very rare occurrences. Only the best are given the honor of being labeled a “Blackshirt”.
5. GBR
GO BIG RED - 'nuff said
6. The Bone Yard
This is where the most die-hard fans sit.
7. "Throw the Bones"
This is what us fans do when the defensive stops and welcome those honorable Blackshirts onto the field. Cross those arms into the X symbol.
