My buddy Andrew, (AK-47 is his name I believe, idk something like that)

 
I'm 'SkersRule and I love Nebraska. I played DT in high school and contrary to some people's opinion I am not Uncle Rico. That being said I can talk X and O's with anyone at a coaches level. Granted I haven't been able to do that yet but it is the off-season. I have a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor and feet that smell either like bad meat or good cheese depending on your preference. I don't really have smelly feet. I just thought I'd put that "disclaimer" in since certain posters are unable to pick up on jokes, sarcasm, or self appreciating humor. See what I did there? Anyhoo, I always hope for the best but expect the worst and like a miracle from Jesus the worst always seems to happen; Texas '10, Iowa State '09, Northwestern '11, et al. I dearly want to love, support, and root for Taylor Martinez. However, I am realistic as to his rather obvious limitations and short-comings as a QB. As such while I root for Nebraska, and by proxy Taylor, I have this nagging feeling--sort of like an insane itch and drip from an STD--that no matter what happens Nebraska is at best a 9-3 team counting only the regular season of course. Further, Bo Pelini is like Bernie Madoff constantly hyping his stocks and products sight unseen. Sorry Bo I'm going to have to see it before I believe it and that includes how much Taylor has improved throwing the rock. Other than that I live in Seattle and am a financial advisor.

Woo, welcome to all you new guys! Hope you all will enjoy the community here. Good group of people.

 
I never did fill this out. Here goes.

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?

Since birth. Living in this state, yes, it is born into you.

2) What/who led you to The Nation?

At that point, my parents.

3) Where are you from originally?

Hastings, NE. Still am. Always will be.

4) Where do you live now?

5) Favorite Husker memory?

I would have to say Suh's pick against Colorado in 2008. Not only because I was there (I've been fortunate enough to witness a lot of great moments in my young age) but just the significance of the moment. We were on the brink of losing and having to ask a bunch of questions, but Henery makes the kick and Suh gets the pick. And just the way he authoritatively ran over Hawkins, it was just a bonechilling sign that Nebraska is back.

6) Worst Husker memory?

2002 Colorado game. Lost. Ended season 7-6. Just sitting in the North Stadium after the game, watching celebrating Colorado players leaving the field and trying to just get a grip on what was actually happening. The gravitation of our program right before our eyes.

7) Number of home games attended?

46-exactly

8) Number of away games attended?

none, yet.

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

I don't even know where to start.

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.)

Memorial Stadium, then my house, on my couch.

11) Favorite all time player?

Brook Berringer. He was part of a football camp I attented when I was 13. His down to earth attitude was unforgettable. I did not have the heart to ask him for an autograph.

12) WCO or Option?

Option

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

Bill Byrne

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

Herbie. I take a bobby pin to every game, Lil. eyeswear2allthatsholy waiting for that moment.

not really.

15) Favorite Husker play?

Tommie Frazier running through Florida. Summed up everything Nebraska had come to be known for at that point in history, in one single play.

16) Favorite game-day beverage?

Ice tea? I dont drink on game day since I have to drive.

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

And any pictures you would like to share (upload via the browse button below).

my profile pic is of my nearly 2-year old daughter walking along the North Stadium heading to the pavilion before the Idaho St game. The picture was taken by a Journal Star photographer and was in the newspaper the next day as well as on the Husker page online.

GBR!!
