Hey guys,

 

I've creeped this site for some time and decided to go ahead and make a profile. I'm from and, currently, still live in central Texas, but my dad and his siblings are from Lincoln. I've been a husker fan since, probably, birth. I often went to the games when they played down here and have only been to one game in Lincoln. Ayway, I figured it customary to make an introductory post and to just say hello. So, hello. Looking forward to taking part in all of the HB shenanigans and getting to know you guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Where are you from originally?

Central Texas-Near Abilene

 

2) Where do you live now?

Town near Stephenville, Texas

 

3) Favorite Husker memory?

At Baylor in 97. Tickets were a birthday present from my great uncle/aunt from Lincoln. I turned 9 and was my first live game.

 

4) Worst Husker memory?

First game in Lincoln a few years back. Was against Texas Tech.

Hey everybody! Buckeye fan from N.W. Ohio here. After lurking here for a while I decided to join. I've enjoyed the mutual respect I've seen betwen Husker and Buckeye fans on Buckeye Planet, and it's nice to see that the two fan bases seem to hold each other in high regard. Always a Nebraska fan (except when they play tOSU of course!).

Hello Husker Board!

 

I have followed Nebraska athletics for several years, particularly football and volleyball, and decided to join this forum. I wouldn't consider myself a true "fan" but I would like to eventually reach that level. Overall I am pretty big fan of college football. I respect the Nebraska program and enjoy reading and learning about the rich Husker tradition whenever possible. I hope to learn a lot from being a member of this board and from its members. May you inspire me to be a member of Husker Nation!

Hello. I'm new here, so I thought I'd fill this out. I've been a member of a couple of other Husker boards over the years, but the conversations there have dried up.

7) Number of home games attended? Around 70

 

8) Number of away games attended? 20 or so

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.) South stadium nose bleeds. Love it up there.

 

11) Favorite all time player? Brook Berringer

 

12) WCO or Option? Little of both

 

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne? Bill Byrne, but I'm not convinced that Steve Pederson is the devil.
