Goodbye to Nidaros

[yoteforever]

I had the privilege of meeting and having a great talk with Clair a couple of years ago. It was because of this board that we got together. He loved your Jacks with all his heart. The absolute great thing about him was the stories he could tell from yesteryear that gave great insight on SDSU, North Central Conference and all the rivalries and shannigans that went with them. He could not only recount the stories but the names as well.

SDSU and USD would be better off if they had more fans like Nidaros. Until I read your board this afternoon I didn’t know he had passed. My heart is empty. He was a great guy.

I will miss him and his stories. I’m saddened but know he’s in heaven. You all lost a great fan. Me too

Farewell Nidaros. This made me sad, but thank you for posting.

He made this a better place, for sure.

I remember Nidaros was the only Jacks fan posting on bisonville when I first discovered it about 20 years ago. This was before we had moved to DI and before the sdsufans board existed. I was only a teenager at the time, but I remember Nidaros reaching out when I had posted as a jacks fan as well. I think we were the only SDSU supporters posting on bisonville for a couple of years. I never met him in person, but he was definitely a true supporter of Jackrabbit athletics! Rest in Peace, Clair.

I had not seen this until today. Very, very sorry to hear. Sounds like a wonderful man, and we all know he was an amazing supporter of all things Blue and Yellow. Rest in Peace.

Thank you Cowbell for sharing this. When I ran the Jackrabbit ticket office in the early 2000's I had the opportunity to meet and get to know Clair. He was a true Jackrabbit at heart. Very saddened to see this news. Rest in Peace Clair.

A great Jackrabbit historian, fan and supporter. Glad I got to meet him many years ago at an alumni gathering before a Jacks-Mavericks football game in Omaha.

I liked him, although I never met him, enjoyed his posts, he was a good man and a good Jackrabbit fan, RIP Nidaros, Clair Husby.

We can all hope for such a complete life of accomplishments. He had many aspirations which were completed and he also defeated a drinking problem and he defeated a cancer several years back. He never backed away from the financial gifts to his alma mater and he supported the progress of SDSU. He was a fun old Norwegian.

[AZjack]

He seemed to live a full and interesting life, can't ask for much more than that. He did have some great old stories about the Jacks. RIP.

[THE PRIDE IS BACK!!!]

RIP Nidaros. Never met him, but we lost a great Jackrabbit. His last post was on 3/30 and last activity was on 3/31. He was active on the board and with Jackrabbit Nation until the end. My thoughts are with his family.

Sorry to hear this. It was neat to read about his life though.

[ringthebells]

RIP Clair. I liked the throw back stories. He will be missed.

Was saddened to see this.

It was entertaining and informative to read about his experiences with coaches, athletes, and fellow fans.

Fair winds and following seas, Nidaros
