According to 'The Spun' (linked below), the top ten most loyal fan bases in College Football are:

1. Nebraska (duh)
2. Ohio State
3. Alabama
4. Georgia
5. Michigan
6. Notre Dame
7. Oklahoma
8. Clemson
9. Penn State
10. Auburn

Personally, I would rate Tennessee, LSU, and Texas A&M ahead of OU, Clemson, and Auburn.

I read a fun thread about this poll on twitter and an LSU fan was beside himself that LSU wasn't in the top 3 or 4 and questioned why Nebraska was rated Number One. One of my favorite replies to the guy was another CFB fan (non-Nebraska) who replied, "if you question Nebraska being No. 1, you're basically announcing to everybody you don't know sh*t about college football." :)

90,0000 fans show up to watch an 0-6 Nebraska team play Minnesota—NU is #1 with a bullet.

explained to my wife (not a sports fan at all) once about why Husker fans are so committed. Told her that here in Tennessee, they have UT, Vandy, Titans, Predators.. We have the Huskers. For those in Texas, for example, they have a plethora of college teams, NFL, NBA, hockey and baseball to choose from. We have the Huskers.. Florida? Same thing..various teams to choose from. We have the Huskers. That kinda turned a light on for her.

One of the best quotes ever was from a Kentucky senior who was disgusted that Kentucky only drew 45,000 for their Senior Day. He said something like we field our best team in decades and draw 45 thousand while 90 thousand Husker fans showed up to support 0-6 Nebraska.

Gotta love a remark like that, especially from back woods Kentucky! LOLOL!
 
Several Nebraska "records/traditions" have either been broken, or gone by the wayside since BC became the HC. Nebraska loyalty(sell outs) is one of the last that at least we fans control.

We absolutely cannot ever fail to be responsible for our part to keep it going. Because if that ever happens, we would basically be saying that even we have reached the level of apathy towards our program.

Mind you, I NEVER see that ever happening in my lifetime, and I just hit 60, and want to get to 100.

One more thing.....GO BIG RED!!!!!!!

Welcome to the BHF’s Sixties Club, GI. Regarding our coveted sellout streak, I recently read somewhere that if our streak ended next August against South Alabama, it would take #2 Notre Dame selling out until 2019 to catch up.[/QUOTE]
DrF, I do not understand that remark. We are approaching the 2019 season, Then again, I have a miserable head cold so perhaps I'm just more obtuse than usual.

I think you mean 2029, Doc. Now about that BHF Sixties Club...I feel left out. I just hit the big 7-0. I'm leaving you guys behind. I'll miss the secret club handshakes and ceremonies. Is there (not they're or their) a Seventies club here (not hear)? (I'm trying to avoid the wrath of the grammar police.)

At least a couple of us are over the 8-OH mark....right, GaPnt?

I remember when a sellout at Memorial Stadium was less than 35,000.

Yes and we are legion. It is nice to see that you have finally matured and can stop placating the kids.
