This is really kind of nice: letters sent to the Daily Nebraskan from Penn State fans, thanking the Cornhuskers and their fans for coming to State College and being so nice. Excerpt:
All day Saturday Nebraska fans filled seats in Beaver Stadium, seats in our restaurants and bars and explored the campus we call home. In spite of a close ending to an exciting game – an ending that, I must admit, I wish had a slightly different outcome (ahem) — your fans were gracious and continued to be grateful and kind everywhere I ran into them. From friendly passers-by on campus to a lone Nebraska fan at a gas station on the outskirts of town calling a friend back home to talk about how well things were going in Happy Valley, I did not have a single bad interaction with any member of your community. I sincerely hope the experiences of your Huskers were similarly positive.
Overall, the purpose of this letter is to thank you – all of you. As I said, this has been an extremely difficult time. Emotions have been running high and, to say the least, have gotten the best of most of us at one time or another. As the nation and world have seen, this week glaringly revealed the worst of not just college athletics and higher education, but the worst of humanity as well. The support of your community has shown many of us in Happy Valley the best of college athletics, the best of higher education and the best of humanity. Your support — both implicit and explicit, intentional and incidental — made a world of difference for our entire community this weekend and will continue to allow us to pick ourselves up, to renew our commitments to the values and ideals we seek to uphold and to remember the victims and prevent future tragedies from ever taking place. Thank you again, and I, personally, look forward to seeing you in Nebraska next fall.



This isn’t limited to the Pennstate game. Nebraska’s traveling fans have a well-worn reputation for being among the most courteous group out thurr. They’ll invade your team’s stadium in droves, cheer for their team and be really nice about it.
Huskers fans invade Heinz Field when Pitt played Nebraska years ago and after enduring taunts from Rutgers and WVU fans for years, we were dumbfounded at their courteous behavior. I also lived in Big 12 country (KC) for a time and to a man, the other Big 12 grads all praised Nebraska fans for their politeness. Even the OU and Colorado fans were effusive in their praise of Huskers fans (though maybe not the team itself).
