Huskers Etc.

Posted December 8, 2008 by kim in Husker News, Random Thoughts

I apologize for the lack of updates. Let’s see what I’ve missed since I last posted…

I won Husker tickets to the Nebraska vs. Colorado football in Lincoln, but ended up selling them on eBay as I made prior commitments. And I obviously missed a great game as we came back and won 40-31! Nicer weather and a more exciting game than the NU vs CO game I went to last year!

So now the Huskers are going to Jacksonville, Florida to play Clemson in 2009 Konica Minolta Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day. I have friends that live in Florence, South Carolina, that are driving down to the game and invite fellow Nebraskans to tail-gate with them!

Speaking of Nebraska football, high school is just as popular around here! So you can imagine how excited my town of Pierce was to win it’s Back-to-Back Nebraska Class C-1 State Football Championship! My son was a senior on the team, so it was even more exciting for me!

Today on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the question was (I’m paraphasing) ”What is the University stadium that becomes it’s state’s third-largest city on game days?” Of course, we all know it’s Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.

And below is a picture of my son’s Husker theme room. Our house was on the Tour of Homes, and I have reason to believe my house may not be this clean or decorated again for awhile, so I took a ton of pics (click for more).

Thunder Collins arrested for murder

Posted September 25, 2008 by huskerfan in Husker Players

Former Husker running back Thunder Collins and Karnel Burton were arrested yesterday in Omaha for the slaying of a Los Angeles man, supposedly a drug deal gone bad. Collins is in police custody and faces murder charges.

Collins played three seasons as a Husker after signing with Nebraska in 1999 out of East Los Angeles College. His best year with the Huskers was his junior year in 2001, when he rushed for 647 yards, and is best known for the trick play with Mike Stuntz and Eric Crouch that led to 63-yard touchdown pass. He quit the team in October 2002 after being suspended four games for an undisclosed NCAA rules violation.

Husker Halloween Costumes

Posted September 24, 2008 by kim in Husker Apparel, Personalized Husker Gear

I was rummaging through an old photo album and found a family photo taken about a decade ago with all of us dressed up in Husker apparel. My (now-Ex) mother-in-law had sewn Husker cheerleading outfits for the girls and gotten a personalized Husker jersey for my son.

So I thought with Halloween creeping up on us next month, wouldn’t dressing up your little ones in Husker attire be the perfect costume?

Nebraska Cornhuskers Cheerdreamer Young Girls Cheerleader Uniform comes in sizes 18 months all the way up to size 14, and is on sale at OnlineSports.com.

Nebraska Cornhuskers NCAA Youth Four Piece Football Uniform Set (includes logo helmet with foam padding and face mask with adjustable chin strap, double knit polyester team jersey, pants with elastic waistband and cuffs and non-performance shoulder pads) available from OnlineSports.com.

Adidas NCAA Personalized Replica Jersey, personalize name up to 10 characters and number (one or two digits) on sale at ESPNShop.com.

If you are lucky enough to know how to sew (plus have the time to do it), you can find lots of Cheerleader Uniform patterns on eBay.

I have yet to find a Herbie Husker costume, but if you have an extra $5000, you could probably get a Lil’ Red costume! The student in that suit must wear a belt with a battery strapped onto one hip and a blower attached to the other hip. Doesn’t sound like much fun to me. Source.

P.S. See the costume I wore for Halloween last year.
