Unfortunately I cannot add to your Nebraska questions as I am a tOSU alum (33 yrs old and now in law school, should have done it earlier, oh well), but I subscribed to the board so I could comment on some articles and thought I should introduce anyways.

 

I am proud to have you guys join as I think most of the conference is. Two quick notes, some of the venues you guys will travel to will not be accommodating, think tOSU (we are notoriously awful) and PSU, Michigan isn't bad, but that's just fan talk.

 

We are a big family and want all schools to do well; we root for any Big Ten school when in competition (unless you are visiting our school). Welcome to the club and I think this is going to be a fantastic relationship. I would absolutely love Nebraska and tOSU facing off for the MNC this year, what a story that would be. Good luck Huskers!

[DelK]

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation? Born into it in 1936. I grew up in Illinois but my dad and relatives followed Nebraska for all the intervening years.

 

2) What/who led you to The Nation? My uncle saw every home game between about '48 and about '70 and I caught the fever from him. He and my father talked about the "old" days when Bible was the coach and the team whipped up on about everybody.

 

3) Where are you from originally? Bellevue, Nebraska.

 

4) Where do you live now? In a motor home. As this is written, it is parked near Allen, NE. You better believe that by the time snow flies it will be in Phoenix or some other spot in the far south.

 

5) Favorite Husker memory? Experiencing the transition. As a first year grad student I attended the very first game Bob Devaney coached. It is almost impossible to describe the feelings on campus as the team that had been a doormat for years suddenly COULD play some football. You cannot believe the awe, excitement and sense of pride of the students, faculty and fans that season. It was amazing!!!

 

6) Worst Husker memory? I guess it would have to be the sorry mess we went through with Pedersen and Callahan. Neither one got the picture and the former had experience and still drove the car off into the ditch.

 

7) Number of home games attended? Don't know nor remember. Every home game for two years and a couple more after.

 

8) Number of away games attended? Only one. At the University of Illinois a few years before I arrived on campus--a 21 to 21 tie.

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel? Got a cap. I'm not big on outward stuff.

 

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

 

11) Favorite all time player? Bob Churchich. Saw him on campus several times. Just a skinny-ass kid who could play football.

 

12) WCO or Option? You call that a choice?

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne? Byrne, of course. I'm not too sure he got the picture because he let criticism get under his skin but his head was screwed on so that it pointed mostly straight ahead.

 

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker? Flip a coin.

 

15) Favorite Husker play? Bouncerooski of course.

 

16) Favorite game-day beverage? Water.

 

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

happened to mizzou...colorado got the extra down...we will let it slide i guess

[jwinslow]

lol, my bad... I think that play and the Flea Kicker (which I knew was Nebraska) somehow rolled together.

 

 

Can I substitute a second favorite? The flea flicker play by Michigan in the alamo bowl. Instead of pitching it to a superstar returner and challenging Cal-Stanford for an all-time great lateral play, Tyler Ecker runs for 20 yds alongside Breaston and then non-chalantly accepts going out of bounds.

Hey, all. I've been reading pretty much every post on this board since the 2008 season and I just now decided to hop on the wagon.

 

I was born in and have lived in Lincoln all of my 18 years and I just graduated from North Star High School this past June. Although I have lived in the heart of Husker Nation my entire life, I didn't become a fan of the Huskers (or football in general, for that matter) until the 2007 season (bad choice for a starter season, I know). I will be starting my freshman year of college at UNL this coming fall semester and I will be majoring in Biochemistry (hoping to become a dentist someday). Also, I will be trying out for the Nebraska Drumline (hence my display name) in about a month.

 

Anywho, my favorite Husker of all time is Scott Frost because he's the first one I can remember ever hearing about from my family. My favorite current Husker is a tie between Rex Burkhead and Prince Amukamara. They're both absolute beasts, it's hard to choose. My favorite Husker memory is when DeJon Gomes intercepted that pass in the Big 12 CCG that lead to Nebraska winning the game (oh, wait...). My least favorite memory is hearing the final score from the Iowa St. game from last year on the way back to a band competition; needless to say, that was a pretty quiet bus ride.

 

So, yeah, that'a about it. I look forward to some awesome topics in the coming season.

 

GBR!
