Here's Sheepdogs Input as a Newbie!
1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?
1964 - Saturday mornings as a lil' kid were great memories of playing backyard football with friends.
2) What/who led you to The Nation?
The Spirit of God ... actually just family with "N" blood.
3) Where are you from originally?
Omaha, went to Cody Elem and Milliard North. Lived on Valley St from 64-76.
4) Where do you live now?
Live in Lubbock, TX ... it really sucks here!
5) Favorite Husker memory?
Johhny the Jet's famous punt return, also the Frost TD at Mizzou that hit the foot and ended a TD and a National Title. I saw it live!
6) Worst Husker memory?
No doubt, the loss to Miami in the Orange Bowl 31-30, especially knowing that the two point was there, Turner just threw it too hard and low, instead of out and up so only we would catch it. Also went to Husker/Sooner Orange Bowl in 79 (?), it sucked because we beat OU that year and had to play them again, think we lost 31-24, but they kicked out butts that second time.
7) Number of home games attended?
I think just 3-4, a few were when I was really young.
8) Number of away games attended?
4-5, those all being at Mizzou when I lived at the Lake of the Ozarks.
9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?
Any tape of Lyle Bremser (spelling?) doing play by play. Listened to him growing up. We taped the game on the radio and listend to the tapes years later until they just wore out.
10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.)
It's anywhere with my family, watched a bowl game at a Hooters once and my Mom couldn't figure out why I wasn't interested in the scenery. Go figure!
11) Favorite all time player?
Roger Craig, Rogers, Mike Rozier, Irving Fryar, Tommie Frazier, can't choose one.
12) WCO or Option?
Love the option.
13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?
Urg
14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?
Herbie Husker.
15) Favorite Husker play?
When Turner Gill threw of to WR skipping the ball off the ground, then the WR threw a completion. Loved Steve Davis' call on the T.V.
16) Favorite game-day beverage?
Sweet tea with a fireball jaw breaker in it!
17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (referral source)
