There are some big time fans around here, and so I have come up with a Husker fan scale from 1-5.
Level 1 Fan: Live in Nebraska, therefore must be a Husker "fan."
Level 2 Fan: Cheer for the Huskers, have Husker clothes, but would rather take advantage of the near-empty mall.
Level 3 Fan: Enjoy watching the games, going to the games, & cheering loudly, but realize that there are times that they may have to miss the game. Instead, they catch the highlights on TV later.
Level 4 Fan: Tune into the pre-game show, watch or attend every game, cheer loudly, discuss the game with others for the next 2 days. Are not happy when they have to miss a game, but will catch the highlights at night, if necessary.
Level 5 Fan: Read every newspaper story for the 5 days leading up to the game, tune into the pre-game show, attend every game, cheer loudly, and discuss the game with others for the next 5 days (while preparing for next week's game). These fans know each player's number and what high school they came from. They arrange their entire weekend around the game day festivities.
I think I know people in each level and would classify myself as between a 3 and 4. What level of fan are you?

i realize i might have to miss a game but when possible i will rearrange my schedule to watch a game. and i wish i had tickets to every home game!

oooo good scale. Man you really thought this thru...hmmm I think I'm about a 3. But I may have to float my way down the scale now living so far away. This dang Eastern time and tv is all wierd and most of the time we don't even get the game anyways. LAME.
Can we all guess which one Ry is?? ha
Sam is a 6. he he He checks Nebraska Rivals, huskers.com, the journal star etc every day. Knows all their names, numbers, etcetcetc. Our fall is planned around husker football.:) I'm between a 2 or 3. I love it, but have kiddos so they rule the world.
I'm a level 3. I've only been to one game and I LOVED it and definitely want to go back. Love watching it on the t.v. but if I miss it, no big deal.
Oh Abby, I forgot about knowing the players names and history. I added that to my description.
Heather- Well, when it comes to football I would rank at 1 or less. Football has never been of interest to me. Perhaps with the new "Pelini" era it will change my mind. : ) Joan
