HuskersGJ Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 http://www.brandonsun.com/story.php?story_id=6105 another pat on the back to Husker fans but also a lamenting what's lacking in Canada's college sports. Anyway, interesting article, i'd be surprised if there wasn't a Canadians for Nebraska group already... especially since i remember seeing a poster with "Germans for Nebraska" last year. and maybe somebody should've told these guys about all the canucks on the soccer team Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Great article, thanks for sharing. I'll never get tired of this type of story. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 GREAT article, and Im not just saying that "b/c". Very well written - concise yet thoughtful. Nice job DL. Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Great article. The Canadians do a lot of things right, they just don't have Husker football. Husker spirit is a universal quality found far and wide. GBR hoser Quote Link to comment
Canuck'Sker Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Proud to be a Husker fan myself since the early '80s. NU is sure getting more attention here in Calgary now that DeAngelis is having such a good year in the CFL. Knucklechucker can attest to more Canadian exposure with Craver, Kabongo and Diedrick paying in Edmonton. While hockey gets the big attention up here, US college football is a far superior sport. GO BIG RED! P.S. Knucklechcuker, who did you scrap for? I'm an ex-PA Raider. Quote Link to comment
HuskersGJ Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 i still find it surprising that there was really no Canadians for Nebraska until this apparently. this may help in some areas... which NU coach recruits Canada? Proud to be a Husker fan myself since the early '80s. NU is sure getting more attention here in Calgary now that DeAngelis is having such a good year in the CFL. Knucklechucker can attest to more Canadian exposure with Craver, Kabongo and Diedrick paying in Edmonton. obviously the Huskers have had players in the CFL for years, but is it only lately that players' university affiliations are getting attention? We've had some pretty decent names go through Montreal for example; but, alas, still no "French-Canadians for Nebraska"- not yet anyway While hockey gets the big attention up here, US college football is a far superior sport. i for one would love to see a Husker hockey team- but title IX would prevent that from ever even being considered. we don't even have a men's soccer team (though the women's team would probably beat them anyway). personally I like college hockey - the last couple Denver U. championships have been a blast to watch. Rugby and/or lacrosse would be another interesting venture. chick-rugby might even draw a crowd... Quote Link to comment
skers Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 At the university those sports are all offered as club sports...we've got a TON of club sports, many the public doesn't know about...for instance we even have a synchronized swimiming team..no joke... Billy C's son plays for the LaCrosse team, he's pretty good. Anywhose call the campus rec if any of you in Lincoln would like to attend any games/meets... i think the number is on unl.edu Quote Link to comment
