[bleedinghuskerred]

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?

Since I was born in 1989.

 

2) What/who led you to The Nation?

Born and raised here in Nebraska. Entire family is full of huge Husker fans and it's just in my blood.

 

3) Where are you from originally?

Omaha, NE

 

4) Where do you live now?

Still live in Omaha, but I attend UNL.

 

5) Favorite Husker memory?

Watching the 1997 National Championship game. All the ones before it, I was too young and don't remember them at all, but I clearly remember watching the entire game against Manning and the Volunteers.

 

6) Worst Husker memory?

The Huskers in 2007. So much hype and hope for that team and it ended up crumbling.

 

7) Number of home games attended?

All the home games of 2008 and before that only four.

 

8) Number of away games attended?

Never been to one unfortunately, don't really have the money to travel down there and buy a ticket. I'm really hoping to attend one within the next couple years though.

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

My football I got signed by Tommie Frazier at Legends Restaurant in Omaha.

 

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.)

Student section at the game or anywhere with my friends and family. Doesn't really matter where I'm at, just as long as I can cheer the Huskers to a victory.

Two actually, the 90's fullbacks. Makovicka and Schlesinger.

 

12) WCO or Option?

Well..I don't think the Option can be very effective anymore at this level, but then again nobody is really doing it so we have nothing to base it off of. But I can say this, I would much rather watch the Huskers physically dominate and wear down a team with the running game than play the short passing game.

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

Oh wow. This question doesn't really have a real direction. I guess Billy Byrne

Herbie.

[TheTopFan]

Hey everyone - CLEMSON FAN here...

 

First of all, I can't wait to play ya'll in the Gator Bowl. I think it will be an excellent, competitive game. I have the utmost respect for Nebraska football and am thrilled that after a 3-3 start, we get to play the 'Huskers in a solid bowl game! Awesome.

 

I emailed the moderarators of this board and asked permission to tell you guys about my fan based website. They said it was fine, so here goes. The name is fans25.com. It is open to all teams but is currently 90 percent Tiger fans as I am a recent alum. It couldnt be easier or cheaper (free) to join and strike up conversation with true Clemson die-hards (and scattered others)...

 

Thanks so much guys, I look forward to chatting with ya'll on this board and my boards in the coming weeks!

 

Go Tigers!

[Roy CO HSKR]

Pat Fisher, from the class of '59 comes to mind. I'm guessing at the year, but I believe he was with the Redskins as a punt returner/DB.

 

Welcome to Huskerboard. It is our priviledge to play a class organization in Cemson. You are favored, because you have a decent offense and a very good defense.

 

Roy, CO Husker
