About Jennifer »

I'm a 2001 graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I have a BA in Journalism & Mass Communications and absolutely have an intense passion for college football in general and my beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers specifically.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Tommie Frazier, Vince Young, Grant Wistrom, Ray Lewis and Ahman Green just to name a few.
Favorite Sports Teams

Nebraska Cornhuskers, Jacksonville Jaguars and a love/hate relationship with the Kansas City Royals.
All Time Sports Moment

'95 Nebraska absolutely emasculating Steve Spurrier and the Florida Gators.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Being in Miami for the '95 Orange Bowl when Tom Osborne won his first national championship.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Can't say. People used to think Hank Aarons homerun record wouldn't be topped.
Ruth or Mays?

Both.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky.
Pele or Maradona?

Neither. Soccer isn't a sport.
Federer or Sampras?

John McEnroe. Played tennis with a passion, fire and intensity not previously seen. Who knew you could play tennis and still be intense?
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger...hands down.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Neither. A) Nascar isn't a sport, B) nascar driver aren't athletes and C) who cares.
Schumacher or Senna?

Ernest Borgnine.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 12, followed by the SEC, Pac-10, ACC and Big East. I'm not going to include the Big 10+1 because we're talking about conferences that are actually relevant here.

There were people who believed in the Cardinals all along. There were people who didn't believe in them at all. No matter what you believed, we are all believing in the Arizona Cardinals now. If you have time, I'd love to know what you think. Thanks!

I saw your comment on Lisa Horne's Weis piece and wanted to see if you listed USC as one of your favorite teams (I find it hilarious that only ND can unite people behind USC). Then I saw your admission re the KC Royals.

I'd like to officially record my admiration for following a team with such a rough 20 year run. As a loyal SF Giants fan, I can appreciate that. And I don't mean to imply we have suffered nearly as badly as you.
