I love the Huskers because they are my home team i was born in Crete, and raised in Fairbury and Plainview,NE. I remember watching them play since i was like 4 or 5,but my mother told me i would sit down in front of the tv with my late father when i was 2 or 3 and not move til the game was over. Then when my mother married a man from Oklahoma when i was five, And when i say he is a Sooner fan he is a die hard one at that! He raised the rest of the family to love the Sooners! Heck one year when NU played OU, a guy was at our house giving him(mystepdad) a hard time that OU was gettin whipped(lol) and a huge physical fight broke out! the other man ended up in the emergency room gettin stitches! Once I moved away from home i was free of the heckling i got every time NU played, but then i got married to a Arkansas girl who liked Arkansas and Auburn...But now i think i have her converted...but she still wears her Auburn shirts from time to time..
I'm a Husker fan now and forever will be one! Thanks to my late grandmother i wasn't even remotely converted to a Sooner fan..Heck my late grandmother(who was 70 at the time) was in Florida @ a Gator bar during the game when NU beat them like 70 to 7 (can't remember the exact score), and some lady in her 20's was talking mad crap about NU. My grandmother went over to her and politely asked her to stop like 3 times, on the 4th time my grandmother told her that if she didn't stop, that she was going to smack her and take her Gators hat from her.....needless to say the Gator hat hung in the hallway of her house with a paper caption attached to it saying " Respect NU like we respect your team, if not i'm gonna take your hat!" (lol I loved that woman man i miss her!!) That hat hung there til she passed away in 2003.
