Born, raised and living in Germany. Spent a year as an exchange student in the US starting in summer 1996. Dreamt of going to Florida or Cali. Ended up in Nebraska by coincidence. Best thing that ever happened to me. Loved it. Still do. The first game I remember watching was the shutout at AZ. Everybody was shocked, I was clueless. Prior to being in the US I had never watched football, ocassionally played Madden on C64 or Amiga. Ran "Fake punt pass" quite often cuz I thought this was the only passing play.
My host family was crazy about the Huskers, took me to the Missouri game that year. Ever since then I am hooked.
