GBR Till I Am Dead! Nebraska Cornhuskers Preseason Roll Call Ignites Passion Across Husker Nation
It’s that time of year again—fireworks in the sky, the smell of BBQ on the grill, and the unmistakable energy of college football anticipation coursing through every Husker fan from Lincoln to Los Angeles. But this July 4th, something feels even more electric. Nebraska Cornhuskers fans across the nation are gearing up with more pride, more passion, and more belief than ever. And leading the charge is none other than Kelly Myers from Grand Forks, North Dakota, proudly declaring: “GBR Till I Am Dead!!!!! Definitely a 9-win season plus a bowl victory. Can’t wait!”
That’s the kind of energy that makes Nebraska football one of the most passionately followed programs in the country.
A Fanbase Fired Up: Husker Nation Reunites
On this Independence Day, while the rest of America celebrates freedom and fireworks, Husker Nation is celebrating something even more explosive: a potential football renaissance under head coach Matt Rhule. The anticipation for the 2025 season has reached a fever pitch. Social media is alive with red and white, fans are resurrecting old rivalries in comment sections, and message boards are flooded with predictions, bold statements, and enthusiastic roll calls.
This 4th of July isn’t just about fireworks—it’s about Husker pride lighting up the sky.
9 Wins? Believe It!
Kelly Myers isn’t alone in predicting big things for Nebraska this season. In fact, a 9-win season doesn’t sound outlandish at all when you break it down. With a stacked offensive line, a young and improving quarterback room, and a defense that showed signs of dominance last year, Nebraska is poised to turn close losses into wins.
The 2024 season saw Nebraska lose several games by a single score. With a year of Rhule’s system now fully implemented and key players returning with experience, Husker fans believe the days of heartbreak are over. Turn those tight games into victories, and suddenly you’re looking at a 9-3 record—add a bowl win, and it’s a dream season realized.
Roll Call from Across the Nation
Inspired by Kelly Myers’ shout from Grand Forks, fans have begun their own Cornhusker Preseason Roll Call—a grassroots digital movement that reflects the deep loyalty of Nebraska supporters no matter where they reside. From the Great Plains to both coasts, Husker pride is alive and well.
Dave in Omaha, NE: “I’ve bled red since birth. This is the year the tide turns. Rhule’s got us believing again.”
Maria in San Diego, CA: “Even 1,500 miles away, I’m ready for Saturdays at Memorial Stadium! GBR forever!”
Tina in Des Moines, IA: “Got my season tickets. Got my tailgate crew. Let’s get those 9 wins and a trophy!”
Jamal in Atlanta, GA: “Wearing red every Friday this season. No more being the underdog. GBR till I die!”
Matt Rhule: Rebuilding the Culture
Credit must be given to head coach Matt Rhule, who took over the program with clear eyes and full commitment. Unlike quick-fix coaches of the past, Rhule has put in the work to rebuild the culture of Husker football—focusing on fundamentals, player development, and instilling a never-say-die attitude that’s beginning to show on and off the field.
Rhule’s recruiting success has also sparked optimism. Nebraska has landed several key commitments in the 2025 class, bolstering both sides of the ball. His staff has done a tremendous job identifying under-the-radar talent and keeping Nebraska competitive in the ever-intensifying Big Ten landscape.
Schedule Breakdown: The Road to 9
Looking at the 2025 schedule, a path to 9 wins isn’t just possible—it’s within reach.
Key home games: Colorado, Michigan State, Illinois
Winnable road games: Purdue, Northwestern, Rutgers
Tough but not impossible: Wisconsin, USC, Iowa
If Nebraska can start strong and avoid injuries, the pieces are there for a breakthrough season. Factor in the momentum from a dedicated fan base and a coach building long-term success, and you get a team ready to shock the conference.
A Bowl Game on the Horizon?
It’s been far too long since Nebraska celebrated a bowl victory, but that could finally change in 2025. With nine wins, Nebraska won’t just be bowl-eligible—they’ll likely be favored in their postseason matchup. For Husker fans, a bowl win would be more than just a trophy. It would be a statement: Nebraska is back.
Closing Thoughts: GBR Forever
So, here’s to Kelly Myers in Grand Forks and every fan across the nation who believes. Here’s to the Scarlet and Cream, to packed stadiums, and to the echoes of “Husker Power” rumbling across the plains. This 4th of July isn’t just a celebration of America—it’s a celebration of everything Nebraska football stands for: pride, resilience, and tradition.
Join the roll call. Shout your name. Wear your red. And get ready. Because this season, Husker Nation rises again.
GBR till we’re dead. Let’s go Big Red!
