RedCountry Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Im interested to see the variety of responses here. 1) How long have you been a Husker? 25 yrs 2) Why did you become a Husker? My parents were born in Nebraska, and we always watched the games growing up. 3) Where are you from originally? Born in Hawaii. Lived in Detroit majority of my life. 4) Where do you live now? Detroit 5) Favorite Husker memory? My first game at Memorial back in 1992. What a day!! 6) Worst Husker memory?

One of the most important parts of Husker Nation to me is the overall respect and knowledge the fans have. I get comments all the time from people, in Detroit of all places, about how much they respect the Huskers b/c of OUR respect that we show for everyone else. See, some things truly are contagious!! Be good to others and it will come back to you, which I think is very true when it comes to Husker Nation, which Im honored to be a part of. RC Quote Link to comment

AR Husker Fan Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 1) How long have you been a Husker? Since about 1962. Let’s see, that’s about…um…subtract the 4…carry a 1…naught, naught…a helluva long time… 2) Why did you become a Husker? My father was in the Air Force, and we were stationed in Omaha in the early to mid-‘60s. My dad loved watching college ball or listening to it on the radio. Oddly, seems that there was always a Nebraska game on each Saturday during football season while we lived there. I know, hard to believe, but true. Needless to say, it made an impression… 3) Where are you from originally? Now, that’s an interesting question. I was born in Oklahoma, and lived there for three months. Moved to Blytheville, Arkansas, and lived there for about two years. Moved to Newfoundland, lived there about two years. Moved to Nebraska, lived there about five years. Moved to Massachusetts. Moved to Hawaii. Moved to…well, you get the idea. Sort of all over. Even lived for a time in England. Needless to say, with a touch of an English accent, I kind of stick out in my current state of residence… 4) Where do you live now? Jacksonville, Arkansas. Hey, you may not believe it, but they do wear shoes here – well, some of the people. Well, and some of the time. 5) Favorite Husker memory? Not a specific game – just the memory of listening or watching Nebraska games with my father. He died when I was 10, and those are some of my most vivid memories. 6) Worst Husker memory? Every damn time they lost to Oklahoma. I respect the Oklahoma program, but it killed me each time. 7) Number of home games attended? Unfortunately, none. Never got a chance while living in Nebraska, and haven’t lived close enough to make it since. Now, if any of you fine members would like to donate tickets, a limo ride, and a condo… 8) Number of away games attended? The same as Number 7. 9) How many pieces of Husker attire do you own? Well, according to my wife, too damn many. But she’s a good egg anyway… 10) North or South endzone? Have no earthly idea. However, if any of you fine members would like to donate…oh, I already mentioned that, didn’t I? 11) Favorite all time player? Dave Remington. I love to watch offensive line play, and I loved it when Nebraska seemed to always have linemen that could physically dominate the defense. There is something beautiful about seeing a defense knowing that the offense is going to run it damn near every time, and not able to do a flippin’ thing about it. Remington was incredible. 12) WCO or Option? Option. While I see the benefit to the West Coast offense in a lot of respects, the indelible impression of Nebraska burned into my mind for all these years is a running attack that no one could stop. Ah, those were the days… 13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne? Billy Byrne. Process of elimination. I agree that Frank Solich’s recruiting was causing a problem – I see that as the major issue rather and knowing X’s and O’s - but it was still a sh**ty way to handle it. 14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker? Lil Red 15) Favorite Husker play? Option. While I don’t see it happening for years, I still harbor this hope that someday it will return… 16) Red beer or bloody mary? Red beer. Yellow beer. Beer. 17) How did you find HuskerBoard? Google. Search terms, as I recall, were "Husker" and "message board". Ran accross quite a few, lurked for a while, and settled here. The other boards seemed...well, boring. Too homogenous, and not open to actual opinions and debates. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirt Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 These are very interesting, thanks for sharing guys. Just wanted to let you know that I just added a new question - How did you find HuskerBoard? - so if you want to edit your response and add it we would appreciate it.
