North Alabama Husker
Three-Star Recruit
To be a huskers fan you have to have video of past orange bowl and fiesta bowl victorys downloaded onto your computer and watch them daily. I think you have to do that it's what I do.

Do you get ESPN360 up there? If so, when conference play starts you should be able to get quite a few husker games. Especially if they're steam rolling teams like we all know they will be
actually u know what im pretty sure we do...good idea thanks!
also thanks everyone for putting some input here really helps out...came across this board using google must say its by far the best and most reliable source of Nebraska football info...as far as supporting the board since i have no way of purchasing husker gear in canada ill be buying some new gym clothes off huskerboard.com!

If you can't get ESPN360 like I do. Huskers.com always has free live feeds of the radio broadcast for every sport. That's the only way I can get to hear the baseball games in the spring.

I can second this. I spent a lot of time on other boards for years before finding HB, and there is a world of difference. More topics, longer conversations, better humor, fewer annoying flame wars, and HuskerBoard moves at the speed of light when news breaks. It's usually the first one to have breaking info...better than some boards that you have to pay for!

thats unreal man....i was showing a bunch of guys at work this stuff and they are all blown away at how passionate husker fans are. Its a shame that there is no sence of pride with a sports team up here...all people care about is hockey and then there is nothing else. Nothing in life seems to equal what goes on in Memorial Stadium on saturday nights. I wish i could show every single person i know video of nebraska fans because its truely special what you guys have created.

I heard this joke once, about a guy talking to a girl, trying to help her understand how guys feel about sex. "You know how you feel when you're really feeling horny?" the guy asked. "Yeah," she replied. "Well," the man says, "that's how guys feel when they're not even thinking about sex."
It's the same way for Husker fans. We're more passionate about our Huskers on an average day than most fans of other teams are on game day.

Even after your total immersion therapy, there will be things that are harder to see - let me start off with a few, guys add more if you got 'em...
-on football Saturday's our grocery stores have 'the game' on the radio all across the state
-people in Nebraska wear red on gameday (and I'm talking about all across the state - those not at the game)"why aren't you wearing red?!" is a question you might actually hear
-when I was a kid in small town Nebraska, you could listen to the game driving around town, just by having your car window open - blaring radios were litterally everywhere
-with any news, the Huskers 'are' the headline in the newspaper... all of 'em. and I'm not talking about the sports section
-we don't trust people who live here, who don't like the Huskers. (they're usually hippie freaks anyway)
-if you are/were a boy in Nebraska, you started pretending to be some specific Husker football player as soon as you could walk and hold a football
-we absolutely love our adopted Huskers, who came here from out-of-state and stayed to raise a family... there are a bunch of them
