1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?
A year and a half.

 

2) What/who led you to The Nation?
I am obsessed with construction sites. During the east stadium addition, I would often google to find images of progress. I didn't have time to drive downtown to take a look as often as I wanted to see progress. Thanks to Knapp, I got to see tons of images of it to fulfill my obsession.

3) Where are you from originally?
I was born in Lakewood, CA. I lived in LA for the first couple of years of my life.

4) Where do you live now?
Lincoln

5) Favorite Husker memory?
Tons. This year's Miami game was the best game I've been to. But the best moment is 98 OKSt at Arrowhead. I was 13 at the time, and I went to the game with my parents. I was incredibly nervous the final minute of the game, but the last play, the clinching moment was just perfect. It made me feel like I was special. Like the team had luck when I went. We didn't lose any games I went to until 2004 Southern Miss... Ugh, all down hill from there.

6) Worst Husker memory?
HA! 2004 Southern Miss. I was in college then. I didn't believe we lost. I had to look at the clock 3 or 4 times to seriously register that we truly lost. It just didn't seem real, nor possible. But watching Joe Dailey walk towards the locker room made me realize it was real and it actually happened. Unreal.

7) Number of home games attended?
Oh gosh. 58. Became a season ticket holder in 2013.

8) Number of away games attended?
3. OKSt vs NE at Arrowhead. 2006 Big 12 CG vs Oklahoma. 2006 Cotton Bowl vs Aurburn.

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?
Up until this year, I wore my authetic Tommy Frazier Jersey. I have tons a signed Frazier memorialibilia. I reitred my Frazier jersey and plan on having it signed and framed. I now wear an Abdullah jersey.

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.)
My season tickets. I have row 1 seats. My avatar is my view from my seats. Some people may think those seats are high, but I love high seats. Allows me to see the field better and what each position is doing.

11) Favorite all time player?
Used to be Tommie Frazier until Ameer this year.

12) WCO or Option?
I love the option. I watched GT this year and just wish we had that offense. There's something I absolutely love about seeing so much movement from all these players. I get way more excited watching pulling guards, traps, whams, etc. than I do watching a four verts, Hi-Lo, crossing routes, and others passing route concepts any day.

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?
HA! You serious?

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?
Always loved Herbie.

15) Favorite Husker play?
Black 41 Flash Reverse pass.

16) Favorite game-day beverage?
Pepsi.

17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (referral source)

I found it due to my obsession with construction sites. Google showed me the images that knapp was taking, and I joined to make a smart ass comment about ribbon boards. I've stayed ever since to share my love of this game and this team. GBR!

Hi all! I've been a lurker/observer for a LONG while. I don't post much anywhere (Twitter, Facebook, etc.), but what I do post, I feel will bring great conversation and intelligent conversation. I've been a fan since the day I was born and my favorite moment as a Husker fan should have been seeing us beat Miami for TO's first title. However, my most cherished memory is when we trounced Florida 62-24 while being double-digit underdogs against Spurrier's supposedly unbeatable team speed and athleticism. That team is the standard and will always be the standard upon which all elite teams are compared to. Our future days as fans may never be as great as they were then, but the same can be said about every team in college football when to compared to that juggernaut of a program.

 

I look forward to being a member of this great community of football fans.
