I was born, bred, and bleed Nebraska. Was born in Norfolk to a Husker loving family. Agree with others that I feel there is something genetic there. My family has lived in Norfolk forever. My grandparents were huge fans, my uncle ('81-'83) and cousin ('3-'6) played for the for the Huskers. Grew up wearing Huskers gear ever since I was little. My uncle was a strength coach there with Epply back in the day when things really started up. My Grandfather was a state senator and they have had season tickets since the 60's or 70's I think.
Remember thanksgiving weekends and Christmas time bowl games. Remember Beringer, Crouch, Tommie, Aman, Phillips, peters, wistrom ( my uncle helped recruit him I believe), blackshirts, etc etc etc. too many great things. Wish I could have been alive or old enough to remember all the old time Oklahoma games.
Too many things made me a Husker. And now I get to pass that to my son. He's 2 now and has gear and decorations all over. In the hospital he had his cradle roll picture with Huskers stocking hat and The day I brought him home from the hospital we watched out first Huskers game together a day I will always remember. My wife has embraced out fanatical nature of Husker love.
Born bleeding Red and Red till dead.
