Lincoln attorney turned radio guy. Personal acct to overreact to Husker sports stuff & tell same jokes over & over. Unreasonable during games. AKA John Liesveld
Joined April 2009
Never heard a TV broadcast team gush about a team getting the absolute crap kicked out of it like this.

This is my Dad’s old Husker hat. Yeah it’s gross. I don’t wear it every day or even every month. But I wear it when I’m going to an event he would have loved to be at w/me. When I cleaned out his closet he had his No Sit Sunday ticket hung up on the wall. Anyway, wearing it today

My daughter just told me a group of boys in her class do the ‘day by day’ Husker prayer before every PE class and it’s ‘super weird’ and I said ‘weird to you maybe, wildly heartening to me’ . Things are changing, guys.

Didn’t realize Penn State has a player from Alliance. That means all 4 Final Four teams will have at least one player that hails from Nebraska no matter what. That’s pretty impressive.

Yeah make sure and tell a generation of kids who stuck around despite the fact that they basically never experienced joy with this team, despite their parents’ promises it was right around the corner, to act like they’ve been there before. They haven’t. Killjoys.

After the last TD, daughter wanted to leave so we could get home for VB. There was an injury & huge ‘go big red’ chant broke out. Not an isolated one, the whole stadium. It stopped me in my tracks. I stood there for a minute & soaked it in. Felt like a moment from my childhood.

Lol this is what being an Alabama football fan feels like during recruiting season.
Nebraska gets another big-time commitment as the No. 1 ranked 2023 prospect Harper Murray gives her pledge to Nebraska. She’s a 6-1 outside hitter from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

18 wins. School record. Tied for the lead in the country. Toured it being built in a hard hat. Spent my final days with my dad there. Saw Pearl Jam and Elton John there. Watched my son go from a 8 year old fan to a college student there. Shout out, PBA.

Haven’t worn it in months. Was randomly the first thing i saw on my shelf this morning. Then I got the news live on air. No one should have to go through what Bri and that family are going through. RIP Jack. Hope you’re reuniting with Dad as we speak.

Keisei Tominaga was just what this program needed when they needed it. He wasn’t scared of failure, he had taken risks in his life that made the fear of the groin kick we all have seem trivial. And he played that way. We came to see him because we wanted to see what he would do.

Mandatory masks coming to LNK Mon. Bad news if you trust a Doc you found on YouTube more than the one that lives in your neighborhood or goes to your church. Good news if you wanted your kids in school all of next year and to watch high school and Husker football this fall.

My 13 year old daughter just came home from school irate. I asked why. She said ‘because they put March madness on in the lunchroom’. I was surprised, she’s gotten kind of into it, filled out a bracket etc. She said ‘when the volleyball team played Oregon during the day they.

This guy has stuck it out on and off the court over a number of years. And he’s so likable and has been huge in some big moments that are changing things. Last year at Rutgers comes to mind. Invested a ton into Nebrasketball which shouldn’t be lost on this fan base. Congrats.

Good lord if you can’t enjoy this game and a victory, which, lets be honest, no one was real sure it would go well, what are you even doing as a fan? Were you even here for those shocking losses? If you can’t count baby steps as joy, you’re done being happy with his program.

In all seriousness, the way that this entire athletic department has come out for each other the last several months has been so entertaining and unifying. As I’ve said before my daughter is always scanning crowds looking for the who’s who of Husker sports, and seeing them as.
