I've already told my story on my first Husker game in the Coliseum. I don't want to be " that guy" who keeps telling the same story over and over. But, I will say, I really like this team!
My early memories following the Huskers: this had to be the 70-71, season. I watched the Huskers play on TV on a few Saturday afternoons, during the Big 8 season. Never on every Saturday but at least 3-4 conference games a season. Marvin Stewart was a senior, Chuck Jura a sophomore. Usually won in Lincoln. I remember Marvin Stewart being so good!
Probably my favorite memory from that same time period, was Wednesday night games. I grew up in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and my dad was the organist for our church for 40 years. Of course, Lenten services could not be missed. They started at 7 pm, same time as Husker tip-offs. Remember, I'm 10- 14 years old, so I talk my mom into giving me the car keys so I can warm up the car the second the service is over. Usually caught the last 15 minutes of the second half.
