Life in Nebraska

 

3) Where are you from originally?

 

Western Nebraska

 

4) Where do you live now? [/color]

 

Western Nebraska

 

5) Favorite Husker memory?

 

Sitting in the Orange Bowl in January 1995 for forty-five minutes after the game was over just cheering and enjoying the fact that Tom Osborne finally won his first national championship. The players came back onto the field and fans just sat there and cheered for almost an hour after the game was over. It was something that was truely great to be part of.

6) Worst Husker memory?

 

November 29, 2003

 

7) Number of home games attended?

 

How Many home games did they play between 1993 and 2003? I became a season ticket holder in 1993, I never missed a home game until 1999 and I rarely missed one until 2003. I haven't been to one since the K-State game in 2003.

 

8) Number of away games attended?

 

Wow lets see, if you don't count Big XII Championship games or bowl games I think it is ten. If you count Big XII Championships it is twelve. If you count bowl games it is eighteen

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

 

Firesteve.com t-shirt

 

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game?

 

My basement with my wife and kids

 

11) Favorite all time player?

 

Wow there are too many great student/sthletes to pick just one. But I would have to say Brook Beringer would rank right up there with any of them. He, better than any other, demonstrates what it really means to be a true Husker. He put the team ahead of himself, he was a good student of high character.

 

12) WCO or Option?

 

I am partial to any physical offense that has the ability to bring the opponents defense to its kness, preferably through repeated pounding of the running game. I believe the option does this best and I will enjoy watching it forever, even if it isn't NU running it.

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

 

Anyone beside Stevie 'wonderboy' Pederson

 

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

 

HERBIE! but lil' red is pretty cool too.

 

15) Favorite Husker play?

 

I too am partial to the playaction on the goal line and hitting a wide open tight end in the endzone.

 

16) Favorite game-day beverage?

 

Hmmm? Bud Light?

The annihilation of Tennessee's volunteers and Peyton Manning, it was great, we'd walk around the town in our huskers gear and get bad service from any restaraunt we went too, my dad once drove through at a mcdonalds, and ordered a large coke with no ice, and he put his huskers hardhat on the roff of his truck and the guy filling up his drink took about 15 minuites to get it ready and then he gave my dad a small water filled to the rim with carefully placed ice cubes, and that was the sweetest sip of water dads ever had lol

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

Since I started college in '98.

5) Favorite Husker memory?

1998 when the Aggies beat the Huskers at Kyle Field. It was my freshman year, and I'll never forget that day. I mean that as a compliment. It was just a HUGE game for the Aggies to win because the Huskers were THE team to beat that year.

 

6) Worst Husker memory?

A&M game this year. I was so sure the Aggies would win that one, and y'all game back and beat us by ONE POINT!!! Gotta hand it to Taylor for driving the ball when he absolutely needed to.

Crouch

 

12) WCO or Option?

Option

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

Couldn't stand Byrne when he first came to A&M because he jacked up ticket prices so high. But he's done AMAZING things for the Aggies since he's been here, so I gotta go with him. Thanks for letting us have him!

Lil Red freaks me out, so I gotta go with Herbie
