CA Transplant Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Came over from Huskerpedia, where I had the same name. I'm a diehard Husker fan by marriage. My late father-in-law played on the Freshman team in 1941, then ended up going to WWII. He came back to NU, but didn't rejoin the team. He was a rabid Husker fan all his life, and my wife and I are carrying on the tradition. I live in Saint Paul, MN, and am an old coot, myself. My own Alma Mater is Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA. A story: The Husker Wrestling team had a match at Cal Poly a number of years ago. I attended, in full Husker fan regalia, including cornhead. To my surprise, the Husker fans were just about equal in number to the local fans. When the team came out, the captain looked over at the group of Husker fans, shook his head and smiled, as if to say, "Heck, I don't even know where I am, but there you guys are!"

huKSer Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 What is going on there? Quote Link to comment
CA Transplant Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 What is going on there? Some sort of forum war. I don't know, really. I only recently joined, but it looks ugly today, and I'm not interested. I am interested in discussing the Huskers, and that's all. Other stuff, not so much. It's not my war, so I'm outa there.

knapplc Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 What's going on over there is a business issue. At HuskerBoard we're just interested in talking Husker football (and volleyball, and baseball, and basketball, etc). Quote Link to comment

CA Transplant Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Welcome to huskerboard.com and we look forward to your insights on the Huskers. Thanks. I'm not sure how much insight I have. I'm no expert on football. I'm just a fan. I did predict the right score of one game, though, but missed badly on yesterday's game. I loved yesterday's game. The Blackshirts are definitely back. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The blackshirts came out of nowhere....in the nick of time. Welcome! Quote Link to comment
