Husker Pride

[jschmidt]

Birth: The set of characteristics or circumstances received from one's ancestors

 

Where and when did it begin. Was it the bright red baby shirt, as if blue or pink was ever a real option. Could it have been the day dad held your little hand every step up to your seat in memorial stadium. Maybe it was sitting in front of the TV dad bouncing you on his knee, crying “why go for two?”. What about that first option pitch to avoid the tree in the backyard. Or breaking all of those imaginary tackles in your number 15 jersey. Was it the day that Brook became more then a football player to rot for, he was a man to honor. What about watching mom and grandma screaming about a bad ref, if the pastor could only hear them. Maybe it was the teenager at home watching the teenager on the field make that miracle catch. Could it be the brother, father or uncle that pasted a tradition on to you, cause the name you carry runs hand and hand with such storied history. What about that moment when you and dad can actually agree on one thing. Love for Nebraska football.

 

Team: A group of people that work together toward a common goal

 

Do you believe in the name, Nebraska Cornhusker? Could it be more then individual players, coaches and fans. Do they just represent the state of Nebraska? How could they, those fans that applauds even the most cruel of opponents. Fans that spread across this country, creating groups of Floridians, Californians, Coloradoans, and many more for Nebraska. The men and women in Iraq flying that big N. Those players from every walk of life and have no idea where I-80 is. The walk-on from the quiet farm town to the Hollywood born star to the Texas all-American to the inner-city youth begging for a chance. Each risks much for the other, in the name of Nebraska. Is there a more respected tradition in coaching then the history of Nebraska football, even among coaches they formed a team, of pride, dedication and honor. A foundation of supporting fathers to guide young men in life, not just football. And in turn teaching all of use about supporting the ones we watch over.

 

“N”: National pride in the hearts of all husker fans. Because it reminds us of the honored past, grateful present, and blessed future. That the ideals Nebraska brings us no matter where we are.
