Go Big Red!!!

ELECTRIFYING – You want to know how it feels??? Come and watch a Huskers football at Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE (Definitely a winning game, lol) I was told by everyone right from the day I landed here, GO AND WATCH A HUSKERS FOOTBALL GAME. But I wasn’t interested at all. First simply because I don’t know anything about the game and secondly I don’t think there is anything better than Cricket and F1. But right now I would say my thinking is dumb. Definitely American Football is interesting provided you have the atmosphere.

I have tried watching football on TV, but I cannot watch more than half hour. Its way different from watching it live among the 84,704 people shouting and cheering for the team. You may be telling me that it’s true for every other game too, but I feel this is different. The important things apart from the game, was the unofficial fight between the music bands of both teams, pre-match and break time performance by the cheer girls and band and finally the students.

Both the team’s music band were fighting to prove that they are the best. Definitely I can say one outplayed the other, but definitely it was fun watching them competing with each other. And then the twenty minutes pre-match performance was really good with colorful cheer girls and music band’s excellent performance with different formations. It was really superb.

The main reason behind my thrilling experience was the students. The way they dressed, the way they cheered, the way they shouted at opponents, the way they showed their anger and many more – Awesome. And finally I have to thank two people who made this possible was Sonny for giving me the ticket and Aravind Vishwanathan for accompanying to the game and answering all my stupid questions during the game.

And finally if you ask me is it better than cricket??? Be prepared to see me showing the finger to you. Cricket and F1 – Any day, Anytime.
