Nikki 's Bio

I'm a twenty-something on the down hill slope of being a twenty-something hailing from the states of confusion and Nebraska. Mostly from Nebraska though. I think this year is going to be the year for the Huskers! Well maybe not the year we go all the way but bringing back Bo and putting Dr. Tom in as the AD was a step in the right direction and I can't wait to see what happens this year!
Along with being a fan of the Husker Nation I'm also a fan of the Boston Red Sox, NASCAR, and thanks to Danica Patrick IRL racing. I happen to think John Stockton is the greatest point guard to ever lace up a pair of high tops and think Steve Nash is trying to follow in Stock's great foot steps and doing a fairly decent job at it too! I've found myself cheering for the Suns and Steve Nash for the last couple of seasons. (I hope John Stockton doesn't think I'm cheating on him! I mean I heard that Stockton had worked with Nash on somethings during the off season so that doesn't really count as far as cheating on my favorite point guard right?)
I also have a slight addiction to boy bands and am not shy in admitting this, I stood in line for New Kids on the Block Concert tickets and will be seeing them in November.
As well as being slightly crazy about boy bands I have a big music scope, I like everything from New Kids on the Block to Ozzy Osbourne and everything inbetween. I love cranking up P!nk and jamming out to her music and I love the mellow melodies of Chris Botti and Dave Koz. Plus I love listening to the musical genius that is Trent Reznor! I'm a little bit obsessive about musicals especially Wicked and Rent
I also love spending time with my family and friends. I especially love teaching my two young nieces about NASCAR to the dismay of my brother -in-law and sister. My proudest moment as an Aunt came when I took my nieces out shopping and my oldest niece said to me, "Aunt Nikki, that's Dale Jr! That's Yeah Jr!" Also after the 2008 Olympics my nieces both know that Michael Phelps is the coolest swimmer in the world. They are also educating me on exactly who in the world Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers are so we are all learning something new. They learn about sports and I get to learn about Disney stars :) I've also recently started running and kickboxing classes.... We'll see how long both of those last :)

The Short List What Nikki thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

John Stockton, Dale Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Jr,
Favorite Sports Teams

Boston Red Sox, the team of the Utah Jazz from the Late 90's, Hendrick Motorsports
All Time Sports Moment

There are two for me. The 1998 Daytona 500 when Dale Earnhardt won the race after 20 years of trying and the second is the 1996 Women's Soccer team winning the Gold Medal.
Most Memorable Game Attended

This year (2008) Red/White Scrimmage. It was awesome to see how excited everyone in the Husker Nation was!
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

John Stockton's assist record
Ruth or Mays?

Because of Babe Ruth and "the trade" It took Boston 80something years to overcome the curse and win the World Series so Mays without a doubt :)
Unitas or Montana?

Hmm.. That's tough they are both great. I gotta go with Montana though I grew up watching Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky
Pele or Maradona?

Pele no doubt about it. Pele brought something to soccer that nobody had been able to until Mia Hamm in my opinion.
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras
Tiger or Nicklaus?

ooohh tough.... They are both awesome.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Oh man this is like asking which of my nieces I like best LOL They are both awesome.
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I live in the middle of Big 12 Country :)
