Still toiling in the wake of a crushing loss to the University of Texas two weeks ago, Husker fans have had little to hang their hats on.

Fortunately, Husker Nation now has something new to maintain bragging rights over every school in America: Sports Illustrated has deemed Husker Nation the “Classiest Shitheads in the NCAA.”

According to the poll, which was conducted by surveying players throughout the NCAA, Husker fans were unanimously voted the classiest of all the shithead sports fans in America.

“Everything about those shitheads is great,” said Texas coach Mack Brown. “Playing our fight song before we win, blaming every loss on our refs and begrudgingly congratulating us after we win.”

The polling criteria included fan loyalty, game-day blood alcohol content and the ability to vote in online polls.

“I’m just happy that we finally won a poll that wasn’t dominated by bored farm kids,” said Scott Bright, UNL freshman sociology major. “I finally feel vindicated for spending six hours a day trolling Husker forums during the Callahan years.”

Nebraska Athletic Director, Tom Osborne, was pleased with the announcement for a laundry list of reasons: “It’s just a nice feeling, I at long last feel okay about that whole steroid thing now.”

“It’s comforting, knowing people respect us as a fan base,” Osborne said. “Especially after how blindly we acted about our boys doing steroids. I wouldn’t trade Husker Nation for any other group of shitheads in the world.”
