I grew up in a small Missouri town but our High School coaches used to go to coaching clinics in Lincoln and rave about the coaches, players and HC Osborne's pee-hillosophy on commitment and life. Then, the 1984 Miami 2-point conversion game happened! That game removed any doubt I may have had.Reading some of the responses here make me wonder - why does someone become a Husker fan if they didn’t grow up in Nebraska?
My first game was November 7, 1992, in Lincoln against Glen Mason's number 13 ranked Kansas team. My brother was a Freshman at NU and got me a student ticket. I drove in from Kearney for the 6:30p night game on ESPN. It was an unforgettable experience unless you were a Kansas fan: NU49-KU7
