Introduce Yourself


Recommended Posts

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?

- Just joined this afternoon. I've been a Husker fan since before Bob Devaney. I have vivid memories of listening to Husker games early on and the excitement that came with Bob Devaney's arrival and eventual success. I can still recall attending the NU-Texas game in Lincoln in 1959. My Dad and I sat in the "knothole" section! It's been a great ride ever since.

 

2) What/who led you to The Nation?

- Actually, I was looking for some icons and ran across the site.

 

3) Where are you from originally?

- Grew up in Auburn, NE

 

4) Where do you live now?

- Colorado Springs, CO - (It's fun to have the Husker stickers on the car this year!)

 

5) Favorite Husker memory?

- Watching the NU-OU classic in '71. When Johnny R. took off on that famous punt return and scored, I jumped up and smacked my head on the ceiling in our basement TV room! I still get goosebumps watching that run.

 

6) Worst Husker memory?

- Attending the NU-CU game in 2001 (62-36). I've never been treated so poorly at a football game. That's the difference between a program that is used to winning and a program that doesn't understand winning. The CU administration, students, fans and alumni are all pathetic.

 

7) Number of home games attended?

- Too many to count.

 

8) Number of away games attended?

- Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40.

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

- Golf shirts

 

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.)

- My brother lives in Denver so we get together in his garage or my garage, smoke cigars, drink some beer and pace the floor. He's got a big screen set up in his garage. It's the PERFECT place to watch football.

 

11) Favorite all time player?

- J.R.

 

12) WCO or Option?

- I loved the option but I didn't hesitate to embrace the WCO. Callahan knows what he's doing. It will only get better.

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

- Neither.

 

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

- Herbie Husker - truth be told, I'm not too keen on either one of them.

 

15) Favorite Husker play?

- An extra point.

 

16) Favorite game-day beverage?

- Beer, definitely beer.

 

17) How did you find HuskerBoard?

- See answer to #2

Hello HuskerNation! It is a pleasure to be able to read all your thoughts and all your hard work and dedication to The Big Red. I am born and raised from Fremont, Nebraska and reside at the moment in Germany for the military. Reading all the exciting information and stories you all provide here has kept my inner Big Red roots flowing. Which in turn keeps my spring, summer, fall and winter times always excited about my love for the Huskers and their new exciting football program. :lol: Which I do brag about them too much. I wish you all the very best, and keep up the good faith for our team as we turn the tide back to the dominate team we once had. I am getting transfered in March to enemy lines to Colorado. I will get to finally watch some games on television instead of listen at 2am on the computer. So this is very exciting for my family and myself to watch the games live, and to hear more about the HuskerNation and the momentum we will have for the upcoming years.
