September 4, 200719 yr hssb - just curious, what made you such a huge Nebraska fan? Funny line one of my Sooner buddies said ---What does the "N" on the Cornhuskers' caps stand for? "Knowledge"....:lol:
September 4, 200719 yr Riley Skinner has been upgraded to doubtful. I'm biased, but I don't think it'd matter. I'm still a little afraid that Nebraska has an eye on next week, but I hope I'm wrong. Don't forget Maurice Purify returns for this game from his one-game suspension -- that really should help open up an already effective offense. Skinner being out (if he is) probably wouldn't make a difference in the outcome, it imo will make a difference in the margin. :thumb: Nebraska BIG!
September 4, 200719 yr Author hssb - just curious, what made you such a huge Nebraska fan? Great question. In the spring of 1992 I spent a week visiting our Delta Tau Delta Chapter at Nebraska. Instead of staying in the house I stayed in an apartment with one of the Senior Actives...All-American NT Pat Engelbert. Pat was great, gave me a bunch of gear, showed me through their World Class (in 1992) weight room, introduced me to Tom Osborne...etc. I started following them casually after that and with time it has just snow-balled. 15 years later my support and fandom for NU just keeps growing. This Saturday will be my first Nebraska road game. I've been to watch UK on the road many times, but never have seen Nebraska on the road. Obviously I'm pretty psyched.

September 4, 200719 yr Stat of the day: Groves Stadium will be the smallest venue Nebraska has played in since 1971. Winston-Salem is not ready for the Husker Nation. The stadium will have tons of red. They think they know what their getting into but I dont think they do. But they shall find out Saturday and I cant wait to be a part of it. Next year Im going to try and make it to Lincoln for a game. Perhaps against Virginia Tech and then Im definently going to be at the return game in Blacksburg in 09.
September 4, 200719 yr Author I talked to a guy today at the paper in Winston-Salem and they are expecting about 1/3 of the 36,000 seats to be Red-clad. That seems fair to me...although I would have probably guessed it would have been closer to 1/2. I guess we'll see for sure on Saturday at Noon.
September 6, 200719 yr Off to Winston-Salem...enjoy your weekend everyone. Travel safe, have fun and I hope they lose...
September 7, 200719 yr Adios amigos, Im off to Winston-Salem for the game and get to meet Hssb tonight. Should be a blast, GO BIG RED!!!!!!

September 7, 200719 yr Off to Winston-Salem...enjoy your weekend everyone. Enjoy the game. Maybe we'll be able to get together at the CCH/DH playoff game, where I can finally buy you that Diet Coke and Hot Dog/Burger/Funnel Cake, whatever you want.
