Brandon Vogel of Hi-Plains Drifter is a Nebraskan living in Bahstin. As such, he encounters two types of people—people who have never met someone from Nebraska and people who want to talk football.

This basic fact of Vogel’s life led him to ask the vital questions. Like:

What is the societal value of Nebraska football?

He wants to hear from other Huskers residing outside the state.

So transplants, what have you found the cultural currency of Nebraska football to be? Is Nebraska still a fond memory of that crushing ground attack of the 90s or is it one of the fallen kings mentioned on The Big Lead?

I left a comment on his site. Here’s what it says: I live in South Carolina, near the Georgia border. People ’round here love ‘em some college football. Go Dawgs. Go ‘Cocks. Go Tigers. Georgia Southern is popular too. Anyway, I don’t get much reaction when people learn I’m from Nebraska. I think we could change that by playing better teams in Sept. Let’s play Florida State. Let’s play Clemson. And so on. So people have some first hand experience. So they can grow to love us, or hate us.
