Fan Day Without the Fans?

Another wonderful message to the Husker fans that their desires are secondary. No longer is fan day on a Saturday as it has been moved to a Friday between 2:00 pm and 3:30 pm on August 5th this year.

As a member of the media, I was obviously at a few of these. Hell, I think I have been to the last six or seven. Thousands would show up, and there might have been one day out of all those which had weather that wasn’t excruciatingly hot.

But thousands would still show up, because they could. This was their one time in the entire year where they actually got to meet in person, the players and even coaches they followed from afar.

And now it’s on a weekday in the middle of the afternoon.

By the way, it’s hotter in the middle of the afternoon versus right before noon when the traditional Fan Day kicked off.

I’d be pissed if I was a fan. I really would. There are a lot of parents who aren’t going to be able to take their kids to this now with the change.

Oh, if you are a diehard sycophant, you will no doubt find a way to twist this so that it makes it look like whoever made this decision actually cares.

But to me, the rescheduling of this and the subsequent reason for doing it (it was to make their schedule easier, not yours), is no more than them pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining.

Thank you “Josey Wales.”

I won’t be at Fan Day for the first time in a long time. I won’t miss it, because it was a job for me. But I don’t share the same mind-set as over 90 percent of the people who did show up even if the weather was brutal, which it almost always was.

I guess it was too much to ask them to take a day off so that they could give back to the fans. Instead they want the fans to be the ones who have to sacrifice, yet again.

Kudos
