Ask Bobby Bowden as he was the first, that I know of, to call us 'the greatest fans'. I do think though that Pedey should have never put that on the stadium.

It is generally conceded as a weak O-Tackle draft coming up ... having said that an athlete doesn't grade as a 3rd or 4th rounder just because there is a lack of quality at his position in the draft.
Contrary ... he (Gates) possesses all of the measurable the NFL wants in a potential NFL linemen. I suspect the NFL believes they can and will "coach-him-up" once he arrives to training camp. And if he tests well in the combine and recruiting visits ... he likely will be a decent round draft pick.
Gates is a quality lineman and Nebraska would've been fortunate to have him return if he had chosen that route. Much like Zach Sterup, Jeremy Sirles, Brent Qvale and Alex Lewis it seems these former Huskers have had a brighter NFL path than they did as collegiate players! To me this points to the absolute lack of coaching at the O-Line position since Callahan was fired.
Its because we say so. Its not based on anything real. We should make t-shirts and have a parade.
Bowden wrote a letter stating that after they upset NU in '80 which propelled FSU as a program. He liked that NU fans applauded FSU when they came off the field. Very cool. I don't think we applauded NIU this year or any other team that has beat us over the past 20 years.

The one aspect that I believe separates us from most is that we have continued to fill (or near fill) the stadium every game even though there have been some really crappy seasons. That wouldn't happen at many of the other blue blood programs.
Then you'd would be wrong. Every game that I've attended that ended in a loss resulted in the fans applauding that team as they left the field.
Edit. I haven't been to a game for about five years. But previous to that every winning team was applauded.

I wasn't counting the other team's fans.
I wasn't either
Was kidding. I've never heard the NU fans applaud after losing. Must just be the ones along where the other team exits. Have you experienced different?
Yeah it's over in the Northwest corner. That may have changed since the locker room setup has changed.
Agreed and hopefully this finally changes with the new staff

Being drafted because of his size and his measurables rather than his play on the field is an indictment of his coaching and development.
I don't know what you had in mind to start with, but if you'd been badmouthing Cav and Gates does well in the Pro's, I'd see no other reason for your visit.
So what were you planning to visit him for? To get throttled by a short, fat old line coach? Or were you trying to threaten him?

More an indictment of the NFL than anything else.
