It wasn't hard converting my fiance to a Husker fan for she was raised as one. Before she met me she had no idea what a quarterback was So when she met me, she instantly knew that I was a Die Hard fan when she stepped into my bedroom and saw all of the husker gear with my autograph Eric Crouch Nebraska Jersey and Poster, Husker Lamp, a Husker donut chair, and more than half of my shirts are Husker Shirts, etc.

 

When I told my Dad that she was a Husker fan he told me that she was a keeper. So I made her a promise for I would teach her more about Football and the Husker Tradition and that she would teach me some good ol' classic Rock N' Roll music......gotta love that when a girl is into Classic Rock

 

It's better to date a Husker fan than to convert one is something that I've always noticed from past experience and from my buddies as well. Hell my brother is going to marry Satan on November 8th the same day when Nebraska plays against Kansas and shes a Iowa fan

 

When my fiance watched a game for the first time with me, she had to leave the room because I was yelling and screaming at my TV, but now she'll get into the games especially this past season she said that "Callahan is a moron" or she be like "Oh f#@%". She's getting into more of the games and we went to our second spring game and I've already taken her to two games and I took her father to the ISU vs NEB game this past year since he hasn't been to a game since 94'. As soon as she's done with school and starts her Physician Assistant career, I've already told her that WE ARE GETTING SEASON TICKETS!!!!!!!!!

As I was reading that, I assumed you were going to say, "...I've already told her that WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!"

 

It's nice to see that young people have their priorities straight.

compromising over Husker football......hmmmm, I don't know if I know how to do that! :-P

 

I guess I'll start simple. She just sent me a sarcastic text thanking me for changing her home page to Huskers.com, hahahah.

I've been dating my girlfriend for about five months now and she's about to see a whole new side of me once the season starts. I've been warning her for several months now that I'll be kind of MIA on Saturday's since I'm traveling up to Lincoln for the home games and that I need at least 4 hours in front of the TV/radio on away games. And during those times I will be full of a mix of emotions. She's one of the many women out there that don't understand that Husker football is more than just "a game." I've tried to explain to her the tradition that goes along with it. How it's been a part of my family for years and it's more than just "a game"...but she doesn't seem to understand. We had quite the argument when I told her that her company Christmas party might fall on the Big XII championship game and if Nebraska gets to go I might not be able to come to it. So far that's only been the worst of the arguments.

 

I've been thinking that if only I could convert her that maybe she'd start to see it from my side of things and enjoy it with me. I've got us tickets to the MU game this year, but that might have been a mistake. I picked it because she's from Missouri and it's the only thing she can relate to since everyone she knew growing up liked MU. She's said she'll probably wear black and gold to the game and support MU even though she doesn't have a strong affiliation with them. She said if it was any other game she'd wear red though (I'm thinking of buying a Husker shirt for her and asking her to wear it anyway).

 

I keep hoping she'll go to one home game, see everything we get to live through all the time...and then automatically be a die hard fan. Any stories or advice from anyone here that may have swayed their significant others into being a Husker fan?

 

 

you cant force the "die hard' thing. But you can make her atleast a casual fan. I did this with my wife with the Chiefs and MU. For my wife it was getting her to a game with a bunch of our mutual friends. We did the tailgating, drinking and cheering. She came around slowly . But after her 3rd game and about 2 years into the 'conversion project' she started to ask for her own gear. She wanted hats, jerseys, had favorite players the whole bit. My wife had no real knowledge about the sport. We started with first downs and grew from there. over the last 7 years from girlfriend to wife she has come to be a fan and even spent 30 mins last thursday before the Chiefs preseason opener discussing the new offensive strategy for this years team. And she was more excited about Mizzou on the cover of SI than I was.

 

I will say this though, you have to learn to compramise with her.

That's, beautiful...
