1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?
-Since I can remember. My dad took me to my first game in 1991 when I was 4 years old in a loss to Washington. I have no memories of the game, but I know that was the start. I started remembering more during the 1993 season, specifically the National Title game, in which I watched with my family and we were all devastated when Byron Bennett missed the field goal at the end. To this day when I watch that game, I still think/hope/pray that it goes through. I remember a ton of the 1994 season as well, and it just grew even more from there.
2) What/who led you to The Nation?
-My family
3) Where are you from originally?
-Falls City, Nebraska
4) Where do you live now?
-Lincoln, Nebraska
5) Favorite Husker memory?
-National Title victories!
-2001: Oklahoma vs. Nebraska. I was in the stands for Stuntz to Crouch. Epic, just epic. Tommie Frazier's run in the Fiesta Bowl is a close second, due to not being in person to witness that.
6) Worst Husker memory?
-1996 @ Arizona State loss, loss to Texas 1996, and losing in 1999 @ Texas, we got our revenge, but that team should have won the National Title.
Tom Osborne retiring, at the time I didn't fully understand everything about it. When I was older, I knew more of what was going on and was furious when Frank Solich was fired.
I also hated seeing the terrible/no effort losses to in the Callahan era as well. 2001 Colorado/Miami, every single 2009 stings (for now), but not as much as the others listed.
7) Number of home games attended?
-Too many to count, but I do know that when I attend the stands vs. Oklahoma, we never lose. 1995, 1997, 2001, 2009.
8) Number of away games attended?
-Not a "true" away game, but we did attend the 2009 Big XII Championship game.
9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?
-A few autographied helmets and hats.
-My tall red sox, I wear them every game, gotta love them. (I'm a huge Red Sox fan (got them the day of Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS that "sparked the comeback"), but I wear those things every time the Huskers play (and bigger Red Sox games, 162 times in the summer would get smelly and rotten pretty quick).
I still wish we wore them for home games like in 2001!
10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.)
-Student Section in Memorial Stadium is nice, but a "dream" section would be the 50 yard line on the East side, during a night game.
11) Favorite all time player?
-Too many to list, so I'll keep this 5 and 5.
Offense: Eric Crouch, Tommie Frazier, Cory Ross, Zac Taylor, Joel Mackovika.
Defense: Grant Wistrom, Jason Peter, Ndamukong Suh, Jared Tomich, Terrell Farley.
12) WCO or Option?
-I think if you sprinkled in the West Coast offense passing plays (under center and shotgun), basic running plays, AND could effectively execute the Option, you would have a very good offensive system. Think of it like 2008 offense + Option football. That would be sweet.
13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?
-Neither
14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?
-Herbie Husker
15) Favorite Husker play?
-Again, almost too many to name. Stuntz to Crouch. Frost to Davison. Fraizer 75 yard run. Crouch 95 yard run. The Kick and the Pick, Colorado 2008.
16) Favorite game-day beverage?
-Whatever I'm in the mood for. Soda, Alcohol, Water, just whatever really.
17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (referral source)
-Google search "Nebraska message boards". I got sick of the crap on the ESPN board, this one is much better, cleaner, and more topics, less garbage.
