Becoming a true husker fan

HUSKER 37 said:
Welcome manitobahusker! You guys still have that stampede thing? Seems my two older Brothers both made separate Band trips to Winnepeg for something like that.

Still can't believe no-one has jumped you yet for using the term "TRUE Husker Fan".... <_<

Must be the off-season. :LOLtartar

Most are from Texas and California. The rest come from around the country. We usually get 1 or 2 instate scholarship guys a year. The walk-on program takes care of the rest of them. As far as powerhouses that produce in-state talent....there are none (correct me if wrong). Maybe someone else on the board could elaborate more on how it was in the old'n days. I think that back then we got alot more in-state guys than we do now.

as far as our players, you also need to Google 'Nebraska Walk-on Program', there's boatloads about it - even a recent movie made by NET, our public television/production enterprise...

Know that GBR means GO BIG RED....when someone yells Husker...you yell Power....If you hear Go Biiiiig Reeee-d chant style...respond with GO BIG RED! We were the bugeaters before the cornhuskers, TO's decision to go for 2 earned more respect than winning the title would have in the 84 orange bowl, and always remember that you are a part of the program ("we play today")

Might I also recommend sending a brief letter to Tom Osborne with what you just wrote to us and let him know that you were told you needed his autograph.

You have a pretty good shot of getting a generic response with an authentic autograph. My sister did it back when he was HC getting ready to retire and we were all shocked.

Here's a blurb i can cut-n-paste... I'm still searching Nebraska 'NET' too.

Premiere Screenings of NET Television Film “Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge” in Omaha July

30

LINCOLN, Neb. (July 15, 2009) -- NET Television will kick off the football tailgating season

with a premiere of its upcoming, high-definition documentary “Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge” on

Thursday, July 30, at Marcus Village Point Cinema, (304 North 174th Street), in Omaha. Four

showings will be held at: 2, 3:30, 5 and 7 p.m.

Former Husker football players and celebrities, as well as Kevin Kugler and Adrian Fiala, hosts

of NET Television’s “Big Red Wrap-Up” series, will be on hand prior to the four screenings to

greet guests and sign autographs. Guests will also have the chance to win a Husker-NET-themed

gift basket in a drawing.

“Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge” tells the story of the University of Nebraska’s football walk-on

program, following the young men, raised with Nebraska values and dreaming of becoming a

Husker and playing in Memorial Stadium. Former Husker walk-on greats Jeff and Joel

Makovicka, Jeff Jamrog, Jason Peter and Langston Coleman talk about their walk-on

experiences, with sportscasters and analysts, as well as Tom Osborne and current Husker coach

Bo Pelini, discussing the past and present impact of the fabled program.

 
I kind of skipped thru a lot of the posts on this thread but I've got a cople of thisgs to say.

1. Stop the 'E-a' thing at the end of every sentence you speak.

2. Don't ever talk hockey here.

3. Find a way to stop all the 'Canadian Fridig Fronts' that are sent into the upper mid-west every year.

Please excuse my levity MH and welcome to Husker Board the anchor of Husker Nation.

So you are going to be a Husker fan, eh? Do you have a corncob pen? Ha ha. Just kidding. If you know the two-deep before Western Kentucky rolls into Lincoln then you are a Husker fan. GBR!

Welcome manitobahusker!

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
