Go to Husker Item

[The Maudfather]

Anyone have a "go to" or lucky husker item? I'm talking like a hat, or a shirt, etc. that you must wear on game day or it's just not going to feel right. For me, it's just a certain hat that I have to wear. Curious if anyone else has any sort of game day apparel quirks?

[Landlord]

I don't, in fact. Keep thinking about that though - I don't own much Husker gear. Two hats (although I'm not a huge hat person), one shirt, a cheap hoodie and a tanktop.

 

 

Gonna have to figure something out!

Husker coconut that goes to all away games (that I attend) with me. I write the score of each game on the blank side. It sits on a shelf in the man cave when it's not on the road.

I've just got Husker ball marker I got from a pro shop when I was little. Gotta keep it in my pocket during games or it doesn't feel right.

 

I'm curious about the coconut, darkhorse. What's the story behind that?

I have several Husker shirts, none better than the other, but only one pair of Husker socks, so those get worn each Saturday in the fall.

 

I bought them a few years ago at the Husker store in Estes Park (there are two of them now, but it's the one the Jess Kosch runs, Big Red of the Rockies I think). The store was quiet, with only Jesse in there manning the desk, and he kept saying things like "only 20 days until kickoff" to break the ice, but I really wasn't up for talking much, and it was kind of awkward. He mentioned how he bought the Husker store, but then the previous owners opened up another shop down the street, and he wasn't counting on having competition. I bought the socks out of pity more than anything. But now I wear them for every game.

It's nothing special. My brother was stationed down in Key West and one of his friends wives collected coconuts and painted all sorts of stuff on them. She did all sorts of colleges. My brother sent it to me and I thought it woudl be a good traveling piece.

I usually try to wear the same shirt every week as long as we're winning. Might switch that up this year since it hasn't been very "lucky" recently

 

I also usually pick a song for the season and I listen to it before every game

I put my Husker flag out every morning on game day. If they win, the flag stays out all night. If they lose, I take it down right away.

 

As far as gear goes, this is what I wear most colder weather games

 

[scarletNcream]

3 shirts and a rally flag, red, white and black depending on the game (home and away or if the D needs to step up). I got the flag some 20 years ago and keep it nearby just in case. 60% of the time it works everytime....

Lil' Red silk boxers.
