  2. UPDATE on this story... I posted this on Facebook a while back but realized I forgot to post here..

     

    I used the money raised ($200) added some of my own and bought his family 4 tickets to the Nebraska - Iowa Game.

     

    My friend knows Aaron Graham, who also hooked him up with an autographed SI from 1997!

     

    Here's a video of him finding out about the game...

     

    Thanks again for everyone's support - it's awesome what we can do when we come together!

  3. Thanks SO much for everyone who has pitched in so far!

     

    Here's an awesome NEW story about Sebastiano you should check-out.

     

    You're more than welcome to donate directly to his parents fundraiser page, or of course through our Donorbox page which will also go directly to his family.

     

    It will be cool to present the family with a lump sum donation on behalf of everyone from the board. If we get enough, and everyone agrees, perhaps we'll offer to buy the family tickets to the Nebraska Iowa game!

     

    Thanks for paying it forward Husker Nation!

  4. Hey Huskerboard family.

    I don't post much these days - I'm a founder of the board - and now just manage behind the scenes ops.

     

    I have a connection to a little boy in Council Bluffs named Sebastiano battling Leukemia. He's a tough little kiddo and comes from a great family. But the medical bills are piling up and they really need help.

     

    As a Dad of 2 kids I can't even begin to imagine the heartbreak of watching one of my kids go through this miserable experience. Instead of running around with friends he has to deal with the reality of excruciating pain, heartbreak, and an endless road of chemo & hospital visits ahead of him.

     

    As a family with kids you already have limited funds, but dealing with a MAJOR unexpected cost like this becomes a massive burden, completely re-arranging your available funds for things like vacation, or even going out to the movies or dinner.

     

    Here's what I'm willing to do to help Sebastiano. For the entire month of September, I will donate 100% of all donations that come through our donorbox account. (I'm also personally donating money from my own pocket).

     

    Here's Sebastiano's story on his Facebook page.

     

    You can make a donation through our Huskerboard Donorbox Page Here, and be assured that 100% of everything you give will go directly to Sebastiano's family.

     

    Thanks for doing whatever you can to help! I know Husker Nation has a huge heart, so when a close friend asked if there was anything I could do I knew exactly where I could turn.

  5. Huskerboard is seeking a few motivated individuals, to help build our sponsor network with local businesses throughout Nebraska.

     

    In other words, we need help finding businesses to advertise on the board.

     

    Requirements:

    • Located in Omaha and / or Lincoln
    • Ambitious
    • Sales experience
    • Excellent communication skills
    • Good relationship builder

    Compensation: 25% commissions on all new accounts, for entire 1st year of account.

    For example, if your sponsor advertises on the board spending $100 / month, you would earn $25 / month from that account.

     

    There is no limit on the # of accounts you can earn from.

    After the 1st year, your commission would be converted to a flat payout pending review of total revenue earned.

     

    Serious applicants only. Interested people can email me or post here.

  8. Look, we all realize Bo likes to use the fug word, I'm sure it was mentioned a couple dozen times during his first born's baptism.

     

    I don't think it offends most ppl, and we all know coaches will be coaches and most don't love the media.

     

    Unfortunately when something flies into a deadspin with the velocity of a piece of gum from Bo's mouth, it aint slowing down anytime soon. Be prepared for this to reach all of the nooks & crannies of Husker Nation. This will become the topic of conversation for quite a while - b/c there just isn't much better to talk about right now.

     

    The result - every Husker fan on the planet will hear about this eventually. Many will shrug it off, but I have a feeling many will not. Regardless of when this was uttered or whether he said these words in the grips of intense labor pains, Bo was not intoxicated and knew exactly what he was saying.

     

    I don't see Husker fans forgetting this. Husker fans want their leader to love being a Husker as much or more than they do. And here are 2 of the things Husker fans want the very least from their humble leader:

     

    1) A person who belittles them and doesn't respect the tradition of "the Husker fan" - considering the sellout streak no other program compares to, it's tough to question this.

     

    2) A person who alludes to riding off on his high horse with double barrel middle fingers blazing.

     

    Not that I agree, but short of a Big 10 championship birth & very competitive game vs OSU, I don't see Mr. Bo outshining these images come judgement day at season's end.

     

    Good luck sir.

  9. Ok thanks guys! Your offers of .02 cents & $5 dollars are making this a tough decision.

     

    I understand you're just trying to be helpful Huskers, but just for the record here is my $5.02.

     

    Yes donations are tax deductible, but last time I checked the IRS is pretty greedy and only returns about 20% of deductions. If you're getting back $1 for $1 I'd like the name of your CPA... on second thought maybe not. :)

     

    You also have to realize that donations are variable. Just because the minimum shows $150 doesn't mean everyone donated the same amount. Higher contributions were made years ago to retain seats and in hopes of an upgrade. Many ppl have continued to donate a higher value for this reason. No it's not practical to expect to regain every penny of your donation amount, and that isn't the case in this situation.

     

    Remember, it was a starting price.. "or best offer".

     

    With that said, since there were no serious offers he's willing to drop the price to $1,250.

     

    Let us know if interested. Thanks.

  10. My brother is selling 2 of his season tickets for the upcoming 2013 football season.

    • Section 32
    • Row 92
    • Seats are side by side
    • 16 TOTAL Tickets

    Games:

    Wyomng

    Southern Miss

    UCLA

    South Dakota St

    Illinois

    Northwestern

    Michigan St

    Iowa

     

    Asking $1,500 for the pair OBO. This is pretty much what he paid for them with the required donation, so it's a fair price.

     

    Please email offers to fivealarmfire@hotmail.com or post in here.

     

     

    Includes Priority mail shipping.

     

    Best offer received by Monday August 12 will get them.

     

    Thanks.

  11. The mods & founders of Huskerboard have created a little program, which should be good for everyone involved. It's pretty cool really. We've hooked up with a Husker gear outfitter (huskernation), and ticket company (tickethippo), and negotiated some pretty great discounts for everyone.

     

    It's essentially a "buyers club / donation program" for the board. You chip in a donation, we hook you up with killer discounts on the stuff you would buy anyway.

     

    This costs us initially, but if enough join it will kick us some much needed revenue to help pay the board bills. It's also a great way to give back to the members who make this thing go.

     

    So check it out, and let us know what you think. Thanks for the support.

  12. Ok good news, the coupon code is below.

     

    huskerboard12

     

    Just enter this during check-out in the "Discount Code: " field. This will get you 10% off all tickets.

     

    This will be a temporary discount. I'm working on another program called the "HuskerBoard Donors Team", to get you guys discounts on gear from Huskernation.com and also better discounts on tickets.

     

    So for those looking to buy tickets, use the coupon code above soon b/c within about a week you will need to donate to receive the discount -- but the good news is you will also get better prices on gear.

     

    And for those already interested in these higher discounts, here's a preview: you will have the option to donate $150 / year to the board, which will get you 15% off all tickets from tickethippo & gear from huskernation. If someone would rather just buy in now to get the bigger discount, let me know and I can send you a paypal donation link and get you the 15% code right away.

     

    Thanks for everyone's support. Buying tickets & gear keeps the lights on around here - truly.

  13. CONTEST ENTRIES

    1. huskeraddict

    2. JTrain

    3. Husker37

    4. we.are.husker.nation

     

     

    -ORIGINAL CONTEST INFO-

    For those graphically inclined, take a look.

     

    HuskerNation.com was re-designed, but the header/logo was not. It could use an updated look.

     

    **The winner takes home a $50 Huskernation.com gift certificate**

     

    The mods & I will judge the competition. Here are some tips on what we're looking for:

     

    -Simple / clean

    -No flaming letters or dancing rabbits

    -White bg would probably be best

    -Incorporating Husker images would be a nice touch, but not overboard

    -The slogan "husker gear superstore" is not required - making up your own clever slogan may help your case

     

    There is no limit on the # of entries. The contest will end on July 31 at midnight.

     

    Post your images in this thread, or email to admin@huskerboard.com -- but also post in this thread that you sent an email.

     

    Thanks for participating.

  14. Thanks for sharing this. Very sad indeed. I graduated from Bell East with Ryan. He was exactly as Nebfansker described him.

     

    I'll remember him for many other reasons, but to give him some football cred - he was the most sure-handed tackler on the team. One of those guys who had he happened to be 3 inches taller would likely have gone D1 and dominated.

     

    Ryan was truly "one of the good ones", and I won't forget him. Thanks for your sacrifice Ryan, and also to your family.

  15. Thanks for your donation huskered17! The total should be updated shortly.

     

    Sorry for the delay - I was occupied with wedding stuff.

     

    I'm mailing a check to the family this week - if anyone else wants to kindly make a donation I know they would appreciate it for the holidays.

     

    Thanks again to everyone who has donated - sincerely appreciated.

  16. Thanks to all for the well wishes. Just a quick reminder for those who were planning to donate. I know it's easy for things like this to slip your mind - I can completely identify. As of today we have received just 1 donation, which was greatly appreciated.

     

    Again, no pressure - but I figured some may need a reminder. I'm sure you were planning on it and things just got busy - so please take this moment to donate through paypal (using credit card etc.) or drop a check in the mail today so it doesn't slip. Just takes 2 minutes! Click here for more info.
