Definition of a football fan: Someone who, since their team sucked so bad, will go to a bar on a cold Thursday afternoon and watch the 'Bowl Game that Never Happened' simulated on a Playstation 3 console.

150+ people showed up at DJ Dugout here in Omaha yesterday to do just that. I was one of them, but I go to the remotes for ESPN 1620 The Zone radio all the time, so I can be excused. It was just nuts, however, for people to be cheering in a standing room only bar for a video game.

All I can do is echo Damon Benning (former Nebraska running back) - Nebraska fans are borderline nuts.

(Btw, Nebraska beat Notre Dame 34-31 on a fourth quarter comeback and field goal in the last minute. Don't think ND did that well...they got 21 pts off turnovers/kickoff returns)
