DJR -

Hey Husker Nation, my name is Dave. I am about 6 weeks shy of the big 3-0. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, a Husker fan since birth. Married my wife Nicole, a diehard Husker fan, in 2007, and just welcomed my first child, Caitlin, in July of 2009. I have been attending games since I was 16, with frequency picking up in the past 6-7 years since I was able to afford tickets. My wife and I have attended many games together, there for some joyous occasion, there for some heartbreak as well. One thing that has always been prevalent was meeting up with other great Husker fans and having a good time regardless. I have been a member of this board for over 5 years, joining at the suggestion of DaveH. I had not been one to really get involved on message boards and forums online, so as far as that goes I was a newbie. I immediately took to this message board, and became a mainstay. I have since then seen this board grow from its infancy to its current form. This board is very unique in the aspect that once you become a part of it, it is like you are part of a fraternity, not necessarily just a bunch of guys you share a common interest with. It's been a great experience for me, meeting several great people throughout the years and having a blast doing it. I look forward to being a part of this board for many years to come, and seeing this operation grow to the next level. Go Big Red!

 

[DaveH]

DaveH - I've always been a Husker fan. Born and raised in Omaha, Huskers were always at least on the radio on Saturdays in the fall. Made it to my first husker game when I was 8. Around 2003-2004 I was searching for a good place to talk huskers. I stumbled across Huskerboard using the google box and the rest is history. I've met some great people through Huskerboard and some have become my friends. I've also been able to trick some of my Husker fanatic friends and family to the board over the years

Nowadays I enjoy watching the games with my wife and friends whenever possible. In 2006-2007 DJR and I had season tickets, that was a blast. Too bad the guy who sold them to us backed out the next year . In 2009 I made it to the 300th sellout with my brother. It was killer watching the game from the club level

Weird thing...DaveH, DJR and I watch about three games a year at one anothers houses...we met each other on this board. Pretty cool....

indeed :koolaid2:

knapple accepts (his bio):

I'm from Fremont, NE. I met my wife at UNL, and we've lived in Lincoln most of our lives. I work as an Investigator - I even have a badge. I've been visiting HuskerBoard for about four years, two as a member.

Probably my first real memory as a Husker fan is being upset about having to play Oklahoma again in the 1979 Orange Bowl. I vividly remember the 1982 Penn State game and the 1983 Orange Bowl (and how proud I was of Tom for going for the win). I started liking other sports beside football in college, most notably the Volleyball team. I've been to more volleyball matches than football, basketball and baseball games combined. My favorite Husker memory is the 1990 Regional match vs. Penn State, where the crowd was so loud there was dust coming off the rafters. Recently I've been taking my daughter to the women's basketball games, and I'm pretty excited about this year's team.

I'm pretty Old School when it comes to Husker Football. I believe in the Blackshirts, running the ball, being able to pass competently and a strong kicking game, in that order. I believe Defense is the best part of football, and while I like the Husker offense, I wish they'd score quicker so my Blackshirts can get back on the field.

"knapplc" decoded:

Knapp - My last name

L - My first initial (Lance)

C - My wife's initial (Cathy)

I'm reasonably private about that stuff, so if it's all the same to everyone I'd prefer to go by knapplc or just knapp. I work as an EEO Investigator for the State and I deal with enough crazy people that I'd rather not have too much personal stuff out in public. I'm happy to dissemble around the Admin/Mod team, but I'd prefer not having people know where to find me. There've been a couple of unpleasant situations at work over the years. I'm sure everyone in law enforcement here knows where I'm coming from.

Nope, what you posted is fine. It's the names I'm trying to keep on the down-low. No worries.

 

[bennychico11]

just found out we were typing up bios

My name's Ben...which is kind of how my screen name was created. Had a few friends that called me Benny or Benny boy...or other versions, so I came up with bennychico11 (11 being my lucky number over the years).

Anyway, I'm a Kansas City Husker. Born in Texas, but grew up here most of my life. I'll be turning 27 here in a couple months. My whole family was originally from Omaha...so as everyone else knows, Husker football is just part of daily life during the fall. I remember listening to games on the radio as my parents had me do chores around the house when I was growing up. I remember football always being on, but I don't think I became a serious follower until late high school/early college. Now, I think I'm the biggest fan of my entire family. I'm the only one who's actually had season tickets. Took my dad to his first Husker game against Colorado in 2008...great game to take him too. I joined here in the spring of 2006 when I was craving some Husker fan interaction during the off season.

When I'm not watching football or being a great moderator for this board ...I work at a video production company here in KC. We do production and post production for basically anything that has to do with video. I'm the audio engineer/sound designer for them. I work on everything from TV commercials, corporate videos, web videos, radio commercials, short films, etc. I basically love anything that has to do with audio.

Outside of work, I have my dog, Husker and girlfriend that takes up a lot of my time. Hobbies outside of music include playing indoor soccer, rock climbing, brewing beer, watching movies and taking long walks on the beach :lol:
