I'm new to HuskerBoard, and find it delightfully entertaining, especially in this down time!
I'm 27 tyears old. I am Nebraska born and raised and very proud of that fact. However, growing up I didn't follow the Huskers religiously like most, simply because they won ALL the time and I found it boring. I was one of those "rebellious" youths that thought it was cool to root for the underdog. (I know, my mistake).
However, when the Huskers started to slide to the point where I didn't see every game as a "gimme." I found interest. Even though it took 17 years, and facing future Huskers in HS games, I matured and started to take pride in the Huskers. Hoping and rooting for a win.
My blind pride for Nebraska has made me make comments in my circle of friends that maybe Callahan got a raw deal similar to Solich. He improved substantially from year 1 to 2 and won a division in year 3. Though be it that he dropped like a rock in his final year.
This lead me to do some research in the Husker History that I missed out on through my youth. Callahan's best year was only as good as the worst years in the last 35. Simply unbelievable! I know, I shouldn't be beating the BC years to death, and I will not outside of the last 4 paragraphs.
The point of this post is to apologize (even though I didn't make these remarks on this board) as a new member. Simply in the fact that I am 20 years too late to the party. And to let everyone know that I am not a bandwagon Husker fan, the only reason I'm here now is because I fell in love with an underdog, and learned to love to watch them win!
I'm also a Dallas Cowboy fan because I rooted for them as an underdog against the Buffalo Bills. That should get some conversation going!
GLAD to be here.
