HuskerJim

You are absolutely right about the respect others have for the Husker Nation because of how we, as a whole, respect others. My wife married into the Nation when she married me and she is dumbfounded everytime we go out somewhere and I see another Husker fan. I make a point of stopping and saying hello or something to them. She is amazed how two perfect strangers can immediately start talking like they have known one another for years. I tell her that is the special part of being a part of the Husker Nation. We truely are one big family. GO BIG RED!!!!!

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!!

15) Favorite Husker play? Option

 

16) Red beer or bloody mary? Gotta go with the bloody mary.. spicy with an olive and pepper..mmmmmmmm!!!

 

I also want to just add that since I wasnt "born" into Husker Nation like many of you, some other things stand out to me. 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.
