13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

15) Favorite Husker play?

Tommie's Run vs Florida

16) Favorite game-day beverage?

17) How did you find HuskerBoard?

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation? 40 years (pretty sure I heard Lyell Bremser in the womb)

2) What/who led you to The Nation? Born a Husker

3) Where are you from originally? Leigh, NE

4) Where do you live now? Tulsa, OK

5) Favorite Husker memory? My first Husker game, 11/2/1982, getting to watch Gill, Rozier, Craig, Fryar and company beat OU. Even though we were ranked 3rd and OU 11th, the Goal Posts still came down.

6) Worst Husker memory? 9/15/2007 looking at the aerial shot of Memorial Stadium in the 3rd Quarter and the Sea of Red was looking like empty seats (USC game)…

7) Number of home games attended? 4 or 5

8) Number of away games attended? 2

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel? 1994 championship t-shirt

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

11) Favorite all time player? Brook Berringer. He could have run the WCO, but made a very nice option QB and led his team to a NC while Tommie recovered. That was a guy full of talent and heart. He didn’t cry when he didn’t play much as a senior or quit like a lot of our players do now.

12) WCO or Option? The WCO is cool, because we still run the ball, but can recruit talent to pass and catch the ball. AS an “Option” team, we rarely got good receivers.

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne? Tom Osborne

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker? Herbie. If I’m not mistaken, Lil Red came about not too long after we played OSU in b-ball when Big Country was there and we came out with a anti mascot called Big Country Dork and it looked just like Lil’ Red, so I have a hard time falling in love with a Dork.

15) Favorite Husker play? Fumblerooski and Bouncearooski

16) Favorite game-day beverage? Red Beer

17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (google)

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

I believe "Husker Nation" is a phrase that Steve Pedersen dreamed up when starting the stadiums fund raising campaign in 2003. I think it's his sorry appraoach to starting a new tradition. However, I have been a die-hard fan since I can remember watching my first games in the late 80's/early 90's.

2) What/who led you to The Nation?

I just started watching games with family and have been hooked since.

3) Where are you from originally?

Bartley, NE (located in southwest Nebraska)

still in the area

 

5) Favorite Husker memory?

 

Beating OU in 2001. Also the confernce and national championships obviously!

Sitting in Memorial Stadium well after time had expired following the 2004 Colorado game, realizing we just had a losing season and would not be going to a bowl.

7) Number of home games attended?

8

 

8) Number of away games attended? 1

 

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

 

I collect sign and banners

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game?

Memorial Stadium or at home

11) Favorite all time player?

Too many to name just one. I guess all of them that demonstrate the dedication, attitude, and dominance of being a Cornhusker

12) WCO or Option?

Option! The red and white freight train!

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

Lots of success and good memories under Bill Byrne. Steve Pederson seems arrogant and has made many bad decisions (IMO).

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

Old version of Herbie. The new berbie looks like a frickin lumber jack! Lil' Red is a fricken blow up doll, give me a break!

15) Favorite Husker play?

All those bone crushing sacks by the true Blackshirts (not Cosgrove's silly crew)
