This sounds oddly familiar...

There are two Husker Alumni chapters in Arizona, one in Phoenix and one in Tucson. There are about half a brazilian expat Nebraskans living down there was well, so it's not surprising that we would have some fan end up coaching a youth team who uses the Husker Prayer to fire up his team. I've never heard of this before, but it makes sense with all the Nebraskans living elsewhere.

 

Good find, saunders. Those kids have some fire in their bellies.

Top half of the Brazilian or lower half of the Brazilian......I didn't know they loved Husker Football down there....

This. I don't know if it's all the retirees in Arizona or what, but there are a lot of Husker fans there. Remember Todd Peat seeing the Husker license plate? And I used to drive past a Husker store every day in the middle of Scottsdale.

9 out of 10 people I know of here in Hastings that are either retired or are wealthy enough to have a "winter" home, it's in the Phoenix area.

Last year's starting QB, in Bondurant Iowa, is a huge Husker fan and he use to do this chant before every game as well.

 

I have no problem with people using this chant, unless its another college

Wow! Bill Snyder really CAN coach those guys up!

 

omg... i laughed harder than i should at this.

Our son led the chant for his high school team Liberty North his Jr. and Sr. seasons. Another KC school

Raytown South does it as well. I already had goose bumps before his games but that sent it over the top!

I thought Nobody would get it.

I brought this to my high school team (in Pennsylvania), team liked it, said it before every game [surprised that more people have never heard of this chant/tradition]

[Husker from Kansas]

The Permian Panthers (the team from friday night lights) does it now a days, and I am going to try to bring it to my football team this year.

Does everyone still think that we invented that prayer? It was written by a poet in the 20's.

Correct...Berton Braley's the Prayer of the Sportsman

We also misquote it and say stripes instead of stride...that is not original but is what today's Huskers say.

Only that we were the original school to adopt it as part of a pre-game sporting event ritual.

Knute Rockne actually used it quite often.
