My family and I have been staunch Nebraska Cornhusker fans for many years, and we have attended more than our share of away contests.
We cannot remember ever being treated any better than we were last weekend on your campus. Everyone with whom we engaged was polite and offered good wishes for a competitive game. We were completely impressed with the atmosphere, the accommodations (parking was a bit of an adventure), and the demeanor of your supporters. We did not see a single inebriated person (although we weren't looking too hard for that), and even in the excitement of the outcome, all of our interactions were positive. Our experience was evidence that even in the midst of a hard-fought and passionate football contest, good sportsmanship can prevail. Thank you so much for such a positive experience; it is a first for us.

I commented in another thread how friendly and well behaved the Hokie fans were at the game last Saturday. Other people I encountered, at a Roanoke hotel, at a restaurant, a taxi driver, the caterers at the Husker huddle before the game, were uniformly friendly. Thanks Hokies! Beat Miami!
