No facemask penalty against KSU in '98. getting beat is one thing, getting beat b/c the refs pitty the other team is another.

Off the field though, watching the waning moments of Sportscenter when they announced that Berringer had died.

9? (one per years since '95)

 

8) Number of away games attended?

4 (all vs CU)

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

?? I have a few things but nothing i'd really call a "favorite". though i do have a somewhat odd item- I was hiking in Colorado and found a rock shaped like the state of Nebraska (how could i resist picking that up). It was on a 14er called Mt. Lincoln no less. A few coats of red spray paint and it fit right in with the rest of the stuff.

 

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

My once-a-year Husker tix are in section 39. There are better seats in the stadium but i've only watched a game from there. (aside from TV of course)

 

11) Favorite all time player?

Tommie Frazier.

 

12) WCO or Option?

Whatever will get to the end zone.

Pederson. $ Bill killed the macho, jersey-wearing Herbie after 1995 and replaced it with a pansy looking hick of a mascot and I've never been able to forgive him.

 

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

Herbie- with a large needle for Lil Red.

 

15) Favorite Husker play?

same as JR5: Option playaction pass. the way Frazier often ran it: to perfection.

none.

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

 

Started watching in '94, but I was pretty much destined to be a Husker fan since birth since my whole family is from Nebraska.

 

2) What/who led you to The Nation?

 

Grandfather and dad. My grandpa had a partial scholarship to play for Nebraska in the late forties/early fifties but chose to play in junior college.

 

3) Where are you from originally?

 

Geneva, FL

 

4) Where do you live now?

 

Geneva, FL

 

5) Favorite Husker memory?

 

Beating the crap out of Florida and silencing all the smug bastards that talk trash down here.

 

6) Worst Husker memory?

 

Texas in 2002 when Jamaal threw the interception at the end of the game. Heartbreaking.

 

7) Number of home games attended?

 

None, but most likely finally going to one this year.

 

8) Number of away games attended?

 

None. I was hoping they would've beat CU and made the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando.

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

 

Had a Nebraska teddy bear when I was little, but I have too much merchandise to pick a favorite.

 

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

 

My house or down at my grandpa's house since he has Direct TV.

 

11) Favorite all time player?

 

Tough one. Tossup between Frazier, Wistrom, and Green. In all honesty, though, it was Warrick Dunn when he played at FSU. He was my idol.

 

12) WCO or Option?

 

Option in the glory days until we couldn't recruit the talent to run it. The WCO is getting us some good recruits, we'll see how it pans out in the next few years. If all goes as I think it will, it'll be the best move we could've made.

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

 

Stevie P. has done A LOT for this program in his short time and recruited some of our best talent in the early-mid 90s. Plus he had the balls to make a change when we were in dire need.

 

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

 

Old Herbie. Lil Red is just freaky.

 

15) Favorite Husker play?

 

Tie...Frazier's 75 yard run, Rucker's block against K-State and the OU trick pass. Or the time that KU tried it on us and we brought them down for a 20 yard loss. That was classic.

 

16) Favorite game-day beverage?

 

Dos Equis, Killian's, Amber Bock...any lager. Of course I'm not of legal age yet... <_<

1) How long a member of Husker Nation?

About 50 yrs.

 

2) What / who led you ?

My Dad and I would listen to NU football on the radio. I grew up in Lincoln and NU was the only team I followed.

 

3) Where from originally?

Lincoln

 

4) Where live now?

Bourbonnais, IL.

 

5) Favorite Nebr memory?

1959 when NU upset OU after than had gone upbeaten in the Big 8 for 15 yrs! (No one can imagine such dominance in football in the 1990's and 2000's). I was in the knot-hole section on the south endzone (Boy Scouts - 50 cents). My first NU game ever. Stadium was only about half-full at start of the game, but I yelled my heard out anyway. By half-time the stadium was full and the crowd was rocking. Final score NU 25 - OU 21. Goalposts torn down at end of game and carried down O Street. Will never forget it. I believe that game was the one that "lit the fire" and led to Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne and eventual National Championships.

 

6) Worst NU memory?

Losing to Miami in 1983 Orange Bowl. Second worst - listening on the radio to NU lose to CU in the 1950's and NEVER MAKING A FIRST DOWN FOR THE WHOLE GAME!!! Makes you appreciate the good times!

 

7) No of home games attended?

Approx 25.

 

8) No of away games attended?

6

 

9) Favorite memorabilia?

My big red hat which was stolen at KU.

 

10) Favorite place to watch NU football?

Memorial stadium. Everywhere else is a distant second.

 

11) Favorite all-time player?

Tommy Frazier.

 

12) WCO or option?

What ever moves the ball down the field and results in a victory. Devaney had passing teams that won the Natl Champion Title, TO had running teams that won.

 

13) Steve or Bill?

The verdict is still out as far as I'm concerned. The thing to remember is that people come and go, but NU lives on in the hearts and minds of the fans.

 

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

I prefer Herbie.

 

15) Favorite Husker play?

The Fumbleruskie.

 

16) Favorite game day drink.

Anything to keep me warm when the December winds are blowing in Memorial Stadium.

 

17) How did I find HuskerBoard?

Comments from HuskerPedia caused me to search the internet for a better site.
