Sellout Streak lives on
- Thread starter Headcard
- Start date
"Trev, we will buy these tickets to continue the sell out streak if you promise to fire Scott Frost."
I don’t think he needs to make that promise ..He already knows what he needs to do..
That qualifies as a tax deduction. So Nebraska Football has now resulted in a "Tax Deductible Charitable Donation." RollingLaugh

Of sourse the are still sold out but the stadium will only have about 70k people in it.
I saw someone posted we are now official members of the B1G. Bad football and half empty stadium. Scott Frost was right, they adjusted to him.

I will never understand the resentment and blowback from Husker fans over the sellout streak. To me it really is a remarkable achievement. Nebraska fans show up and spend their hand earned money to support this program even when we suck. Compare that to some other teams in this conference that despite claiming to be elite can't even get 45,000 people to show up.
It won't hurt. The two things aren't related. Rooting for the streak to end is moronic.
Why change if people keep showing up with the $ supporting no matter what? No one wants the sellout strike to end but you would think they should be related, the more we suck the worse the attendance should be.
You don't think the AD knows how fans feel? By your reasoning Callahan or Riley would still be here because the fans kept showing up. The big money donors do the talking on those kind of big moves. The sellout streak just demonstrates what an amazing fan base we have and is a recruiting tool.
Same goes with donors, why keep showing up with the $ when this staff is terrible. At some point people just don't want to waste a whole day or more for a footabll game where we look like drunken keystone cops.
I’m all for helping out underserved people in this way, great thing to do.
However, our sellout streak should no longer be advertised at the stadium nor bragged about, because it is now officially just a donor tax write off.

This is a really great point. I don’t get why some people are so offended at the streak. If the tickets are sold, the streak remains. Plenty of other stuff to ***** about.
With the current state... I'm really not in a mood to care. If it ends... it ends. I just want some semblance of competitiveness. I want our guys to fight hard for that N.
No excuses. They write stories about "The U". Why not "The NU"? Let's reclaim our swag baby!!!

The sellout streak goes back to 1962, I was in the 11th grade. I would keep the sellout streak alive as long as humanly possible.
Yeah the sellout streak shows how rabid the fan base is. The fact that it has survived due to a large booster buying up seats just to keep the streak going makes it look like the streak is the only thing this program has going for it anymore. I mean you don't hear Alabama, or Ohio State touting sellouts.
To me it's like a father buying all the cookies from his daughter to make her look like a better salesman. Those cookies might be disgusting, but he can't let her fail.

Bingo. It was cool when it was a symbol for the zealous fandom that UNL had, but the fair weather seems to have moved out of Lincoln. It is no longer a symbol for a rabid fan base. It is a symbol for offloading heavily discounted seats to keep a stadium sign relevant.
It’s a fraudulent sell-out streak. I’m a lifelong Husker fan but it’s just not legit. Who gives a damn anyway? Let’s just hire a competent coach and try to field a decent team. Screw the sell-out streak. It means nothing. Yes, I’m bitter. Now, get off my lawn. I just want to win again.
