WAY better experience than Notre Dame and U of I ever was.

1. wrong
2. my years in a POW camp back in Nam were a better experience than a day of U of I football

theres like 20+ programs that could say that.

I WAS at the Nebraska game Saturday.

I know. I meant wrong about ND. I have been to all three venues on gameday as well. I guess it is subjective but I don't think collective wisdom agrees with you nor do I.

I thought Notre Dame's was nice but nothing great.

Went to the Nebraska game on Saturday.

WAY better experience than Notre Dame and U of I ever was.

I thought Notre Dame was pretty awesome, but I was with Zorich both times so my experience may not be typical.

I was in Champaign during the MIke White era for some pretty good teams and I don't remember that being what I would call a great college game day atmosphere, certainly nothing like Camp Randall or Michigan or Ohio State. I've never been to an SEC game, but I think those are supposed to be the best. It's got to be tough to beat Alabama vs. LSU at either place.

Notre Dame is just awful. Wooden bench seats that are about 8 inches wide, and they cram people together worse than any other stadium I have been in. Mrs. Scorehead and I went to the Michigan state game last year and left at half time. Fans are also annoying as hell.

Madison has to be in the discussion

There is a great family atmosphere at NE. It's bench seating like ND, but they were fiberglass. You had young and old together like ND as well. You had business execs sitting next to farmers in overalls with their children. No over served idiots in our section. And the crowd was louder than the MSU-ND crowd was when we went to a couple of years back.

The business execs and farmers are the same people. There is no real class distinction in Nebraska.

The entire city participates in the game which is fun. The rituals, pomp and circumstance surroundings aren't anything worth mentioning. I enjoyed my time in Lincoln because it was welcoming to a stranger cheering for the opponent like no other place I have been.

It's odd, but I don't ever think I have ever had more wrong preconceptions about a place as I did before going to Nebraska. Admittedly I only made it for the CWS in Omaha, but anyone who had spent anytime in Lincoln said that the gameday experience was very similar. Extremely nice people, shockingly fun attitudes.

That's because you're a terrible fan. If you want to a recliner then stay at home.

Ole Miss is probably my favorite that I have been to.

Caught the end of Rudy this weekend. I didn't realize the real life guy was part of a pump and dump scam....

SEC Charges Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger and 12 Others in Scheme to Pump Stock in Sports Drink Company
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2011-268

Washington, D.C., Dec. 16, 2011 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Daniel Ruettiger and 12 other participants in a scheme to deceive investors into buying stock in his sports drink company. Ruettiger is widely known for having inspired the 1993 motion picture "Rudy."

Litigation Release No. 22198
SEC Complaint

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Las Vegas, Ruettiger founded Rudy Nutrition to compete with Gatorade in the sports drink market. Rudy Nutrition produced and sold modest amounts of a sports drink called “Rudy” with the tagline “Dream Big! Never Quit!” However, the company primarily served as a vehicle for a pump-and-dump scheme that occurred in 2008 and generated more than $11 million in illicit profits.

Rudy is the worst kind of ND guy. He settles for the crumbs of what an ND degree can offer.

I think a Score show had Montana on some time after Rudy came out and he didn't seem to be very aware of Rudy's existence.
