What being a Husker means to me:
I cannot remember ever not being a Husker fan. Listening to Lyle Bremser during the Pre-Devaney years, almost expecting the worse each week. After Bob - his excitement every Saturday, a change in attitude with him and throughout the whole state.
The pride of being a Big Red fan is only something that can be experienced by a true NU fan. People in Missouri cannot understand how a NU fan can be so avid. When I wear my NU coat or sweatshirt or t-shirt, people certainly take notice, almost with envy. I am also proud of the fact that I have converted 7 or 8 native MO's to the NU bandwagon.
Reading the BC board every day, I have found that this happens all ove rthe U.S. NU fans are the greatest in the country.
