Introduce Yourself

I have always been a part of Husker Nation. You see Husker Nation is not just a web site, it is a family of die-hard Husker fans. I was born and raised in Falls City, NE. My first memory of the Huskers was in the early 80's when the BIG RED played Clemson. The first team I remember was the Mike Rozier team that should have won the National Championship. I am an old-style Husker fan...our rival is, and always will be Oklahoma. I know we had a crappy year last year, but when Oklahoma got beat up in the national Championship game last year, order was restored. Some of my favorite moments as a husker fan. Listening to the Huskers on radio with Kent Pavelka and his cry of, "TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN." Going to Notre Dame, and seeing the Huskers beat the Irish in OT (By the way, GREAT Turnout!!!) Beating the crap out of Peyton Manning, and giving Tom a National Championship for his last victory. Spending a Saturday in the third largest city in Nebraska, and watching the boys play. Meeting other Husker fans.

There are a few Moments I would like to forget. The 7-8 consecutive bowl losses in the 80's/90's. I tend to remember a game in Lincoln against Washington...we were winning (I believe winning going into the 4th quarter.) and we lost. That was my first game in Lincoln. I was at the Orange Bowl when Miami shut out the Huskers 22-0, and I was also at the Citrus Bowl when Georgia Tech beat the Huskers. I was not real happy when we were taken out to the woodshed by Colorado...that was the beginning of the end...downhill from there.

My favorite player(s) Mike Rozier, Tommie Frazier, Corey S. A. Green (I happened to have the chance to shake hands with A. Green...he was back on campus getting ready to get his degree.) T. Rathman, G.Wistrom, D. Brinson, D. Erstad...and all of the walk-ons who simply just wanted to be Huskers.

My favorite play: Not sure what it is called, but it is when the QB takes the ball, runs behind the O-Line towards the sideline...fakes the hand-off to the F-Back, and then drops back 3-5 steps and passes the ball. No one ever figured that one out.

That is it for now...I hope to post more later.

(it must be a sign, hahaha - Jeopardy tonight (9/12) has a catagory related to NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS. :thumbs

(those poor kids don't know a darn thing though........ ugh)

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation? Since before I really knew about the Huskers. As a kid, I remember this team in red and white playing in some bowl game. It was probably the Huskers in the mid-90s, but I don't know which. So, that image of them was always there. But I began to seriously follow them 2 years ago, in Frank Solich's last season. What an interesting start to my fan history...

2) What/who led you to The Nation? The memories from when I was younger, combined with my unusual affinity for the color red. But as I got more and more interested in Nebraska, I found what I liked most - tradition, respect, values, etc. That was the thing that kept me being a fan. That is why I like college football more than proffesional... money isn't as big a factor, at least.... well... you know. Money is a factor, though, as we know... But yeah, tradition, respect, and then the fan attitude. That sort of profound loyalty, and celebration. Every game at memorial stadium is like a grand festival, you know? I really hope I get to see one in person some day...

3) Where are you from originally? Somewhere in New York

4) Where do you live now? Somewhere in New York

5) Favorite Husker memory? I don't have many memories. Getting to see them live is a lot for me, as I rarely get to see them on TV, for various reasons. I like listening to them on the radio, over the internet - I get to hear all the hometown commercials on Pinnacle Sports Network, and the 4 hours of pregame, and the post game... I will always remember that.

6) Worst Husker memory? I don't know enough to really state my worst.

7) Number of home games attended? none

8) Number of away games attended? none

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel? My hat - I got the "Corn" winter hat over the internet, but it's too small for my head, so I can't wear it. But I wear my awesome Husker "baseball cap". That is my most prized apperel...

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? Whenever I can, wherever I can.

11) Favorite all time player? not sure.

12) WCO or Option? I respect the WCO, but I will always be an option fan.

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne? DOn't know enough about BB. But... SP seems to at least have the right idea..... but I am not sure...

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker? I like both. But I do like the new Herbie.... He looks a little more kickass, so to say.

15) Favorite Husker play? Any run where there is either excellent blocking or several tackles broken. Or both..... :thumbs

16) Favorite game-day beverage? I like Sobe Energy, but maybe I'm getting into Arizona Green Tea + Pommegranite or whatever. It's RED! I don't like much else. Unless maybe Ginger Ale. Or water.
