The Advantages of Wearing Your Husker Gear

[REDSTEEL]

One year I just hopped in my car and started driving, no map, no idea where I was going. I just went driving around the country for two weeks. I stopped in a small town in Idaho, small enough that I have no idea what the name of it was. Probably about 500 people. The only thing they had to eat was a run down Pizza Hut so I stopped in for a pizza. I had a Husker jacket on and ran into a gentlemen about 80 years old, said he had never left the state of Idaho but this guy knew more about Husker football then T.O himself. After 2 hours of talking to this man in utter shock that he knew the things he did, he paid for my pizza, gave me a hand shake and pointed me toward Washington. I have always wanted to head back up that way and see if I could find him again.

That has been my only freebie! :woo

Well you got your post read on the air 1620, and of course they gave no clue of why you posted what you did.

You sounded older then I pictured :lol:

Be thankful you guys are at least in area's where folks know what college football is...

I live in North Jersey, and I was at the Garden State Plaza (big freakin' mall here) with my girlfriend, and had my Blackshirts sweatshirt on. I had some rocket scientist ask me if I was in a motorcycle gang from Nebraska...

:laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound

(I'm guessing this would be the same type of genius that asks if he needs to take a long rifle when visiting Nebraska... you know, for the 'injuns')

Well, me being one of said "injuns", i've decided to take it to them, and invade the northeast...

:rollin go get 'em! question is, is there anything worth taking...

I live in St. Louis. I don't get much free stuff, but I have had a lot of good conversations. I also get the head nod when you run into someone else with gear on. It sounds silly, but that head nod feels good--like a real understanding is there without anything being said.

Or maybe it just means: I'm happy to run into an intelligent human being instead of one of those Mizzou a$$-clowns. One or the other.

I haven't gotten anything free from my gear yet...

although I will say it gets me recognized when I travel. And I'm all about the attention

Christmas week I flew up to Seattle to see my mom. As SOON as I got off the plane and walked 50 feet, a random guy standing waiting to board his plane yelled go Huskers

People are always nice to me in Iowa. I really like going to Ames. The fans are cool and the people are nice.At the game I went to the lady next to me chatted me up like she had knowen me since I was a kid. I was in the second row and the cheerleaders gave me a hard time and I even got on TV!! It was a blast!
