I've been on here for a couple of years now. The guys are great! I've met several of them at Huskerboard tailgates too. Welcome!

Take care BRI.....get well quick! (My husband also had an emergency appendectomy a few years ago on our anniversary! Happy Anniversary to me.....not!!)

That happened to me last winter, Okie. I wasn't so lucky though. The 2ft x 2ft chunk of ice hit me right in front of me on the windshield. Instinct made me jump, which caused me to swerve, but luckily I managed to stay on the interstate.

My Mom & I have "Mother-Daughter Football Weekend" once a year. We've been doing it several years now. Mom hadn't been to a game in 50 years, and it had been 25 years for me. Mom said they used to sell "knot hole" tickets for some crazy price like 10 cents. My cousin sets us up with a parking pass, we wander around Husker Nation where we stop to visit our favorite color-commentator, have attended a few Huskerboard tailgates, and head to our seats! You don't have to worry about her sitting most of the game, because she's up and down with the rest of the crowd! We missed the NU/Iowa St. game in October because Mom was here waiting the arrival of her 2nd great-grandchild, and fell and broke her hip! She'll be 79 next week, and God willing.....we'll be at a game sometime this fall!

Haha was the bolded above a mistake or is he really your "good son?" I refer to him as my "good son" because both my boys were born here in Ohio, but my oldest is a Buckeye fan. Dan is a Husker....hence the "good son"!

My good son, Dan, me, and my Mom at a Huskerboard tailgate! Me & Tommie Frazier at a New Years Eve party before the Gator Bowl. My husband, me, Tommie, and Johnny with the Heisman Trophy.

Adrian Sr and my Dad were cousins.....so Adrian was the reason I got interested in Husker football back in the late 60's. I loved listening to him on the pre-game show via internet every Saturday here in Ohio, so I'll especially miss him!

I had dinner for our oldest son, who turned 30 on Wednesday, and wanted something easy but good. I found this recipe and thought I'd share. Roxy, you always have such good recipes, and I've tried several! I usually get about a 10 lb. brisket. You'll need a good sized roasting pan and heavy duty foil. Cover the bottom and sides of the pan with foil, and let the foil go over the sides so that you will be able to cover the brisket when it is time to start cooking. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Place the brisket fat side up into the foiled pan. Now comes the fun part! Get 3 of your favorite beers. You'll only need one for the brisket, the other 2 are for you! You will have deserved it! Pour the bottle of beer over the brisket. This will be the marinade, along with some spices, because the slow cooking will disperse all those flavors throughout the meat. Sprinkle a finely chopped sweet onion all over the brisket. Now for the seasoning: Mix these in a small bowl: 2 Tablespoons Kosher salt 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper 1 teaspoon allspice 2 Tablespoons Onion Powder 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder Rub this mixture all over the top, fatty side of the brisket, as well as the sides. Pull the overlapping foil onto the top of the brisket, until it is completely covered. Now comes the hard part.....you will need to wait about 10-12 hours for the brisket to be fork-tender and ready! Enjoy!

I'm with you Okie....I'd love to storm chase some day!

This is my good son and I with Jerry Tagge at Husker Nation. I was getting his autograph (had a HUGE crush on him in school!) and Dan was checking out the National Championship ring.

So with you Jo Ann. T_O_B So.....here are a few things I can remember: Captain Kangaroo, riding bikes (with my wicker basket), playing baseball in the dead-end street, penny candy, Crayola crayons. I think I was 5 or 6 when JFK was killed and can remember my Mom crying when she heard the news. Albums, 45's, 8 track tapes. Corduroy jumpers with fishnet hose. Bell bottoms, the Monkees. MIA bracelets. Black lights and posters. Ouija boards and slumber parties. Not being allowed to wear pants to school, and getting sent home once because I wore cullottes. Shopping in downtown Omaha (because there weren't any malls yet). Nancy Drew books. Peace signs. Mini skirts. And finally.....we had to be back home by the time the street lights went on! Ohhh........the good ol' days!

Been there and done that......hilarious!

Hope you've had a great birthday, Eric!

OK....I'm the token "old lady" here. I'm 53. I have 2 boys, and 2 granddaughters! I've loved Nebraska football since I was about 10 years old because I had a relative playing.

We just got home from Vegas at 2 a.m. this morning. Had a great week, and the Husker victory was awesome! I called Torino's to see about watching the game there. A lady named Mary Ann answered the phone and invited us to come. She said, "Girlfriend....bring your party stuff, because you are going to have a blast!" We got a cab and went! They had a billboard outside "Welcome Husker Fans" and inside is really cool! Husker flags, etc. all over the bar! There must have been about 25 huge TV's too.....not a bad seat in the house! They had a "Husker Game Menu" where specials were offered. The place was full of Husker fans! It's the official Las Vegans for Nebraska watch site and they welcomed us with open arms! We cheered, laughed, SUH'd, and chanted "Go Big Reeeeed" all night. Being so far from home, it was so nice to find a place to celebrate with other Husker fans. They even called a cab for us to get back to our hotel! Happy New Year to all! Go Big Red!!

The spirit of Christmas is Joy... the message of Christmas is Hope... the meaning of Christmas is Love... Joy, Hope and Love... May these blessings be yours, on Christmas Day and Always! GO BIG RED!!

OK.....I know this will probably sound crazy to you guys who are "computer savvy", but .....I have all the games this season on our DVR, except for one. Is there any way of getting those? I'd be happy to do what I can! Glad you're home rob! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks guys for the info! I'm sure we'll find someplace....if we have to stay in our room! Sort of "last minute" plans, so guess that's what I get!

Just wondering how up-to-date it is? We are going to be in Las Vegas the week of the bowl game, and hoping to find a good "Husker friendly" place to watch the game. Any ideas? Thanks!

Congratulations! We're all proud of everything you've accomplished individually and for the team. You are an inspiration to all and have raised the bar for football in Nebraska. It has been a true pleasure to watch you play football. We will be sad to lose you- but wish you all the best in the future. You have our admiration and respect. You did the team and state of Nebraska proud. We are extremely thankful! Thank you for pouring your heart and soul into your job!

Count me in!

Maybe Suh will sit next to McCoy?!

I always told my boys it was OK to cry......IF it came from their hearts. Although I loved seeing him cry, I think he overdid it just a little?
