17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (referral source) Internet

I have only actually lived in Nebraska for 3 years while my father was in Vietnam, but he was a graduate of UN and made sure his family stayed connected.

He even converted my husband from his Bama roots to a Nebraska Fan thru and thru, and my Sons have become diehard fans.

Even though I have never been to a game,my sons have been traveling the past two years to as many games as they can get tickets to.

I just wish that things were better with the team. I do have alot of hope for the future. I think TO will bring in the people that will help right the program. People that are there for Nebraska and the players and fans, Not for the money. Nebraska needs people that care about the program.

You all would be suprised at how many Alabama Fans are shocked and dissappointed also about the state of Nebraska Football. They are all totally upset about what has transpired and feel like they of all teams understand what Nebraska Fans feel like. Bama Fans are very empathetic and it is really nice to see. They understand our feelings for TO, tradition etc better than most.
