Joel Barjenbruch’s calendar has long been tied to games. Whether it was football on fall Saturdays or baseball through long summers, sports have always been more than a hobby for him. They have been traditions, lessons, and opportunities to share meaningful time with family and friends.

Among his many interests, four teams have become particularly important to Joel: the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, the Denver Broncos, and the Milwaukee Bucks. Each holds memories and values that Joel continues to carry.

Nebraska football stands as a cornerstone. Joel’s autumns have long been defined by the Huskers, whether in years of success or seasons of rebuilding. The rituals—wearing red, reviewing matchups, and gathering with family—create a rhythm he treasures. Taking his children to Memorial Stadium has been especially memorable, letting them experience the atmosphere and pride of the team firsthand.

The St. Louis Cardinals have shaped Joel’s summers. He values the game’s patience, its traditions, and the sense of consistency it brings. Busch Stadium visits remain highlights, while listening or watching from home provides comfort and continuity. The Cardinals symbolize tradition and discipline, qualities he respects deeply.

The Denver Broncos carry Joel’s loyalty on Sundays. He has supported them through Super Bowl highs and more challenging stretches alike. What he values most is their persistence and ability to rebuild. Watching football is not just about cheering but appreciating the teamwork and planning behind each play.

The Milwaukee Bucks bring the excitement of basketball into Joel’s life. Their 2021 NBA championship was a highlight, not only for the win itself but also for the dedication it represented. The Bucks embody the values of persistence and teamwork that Joel admires.

For Joel, sports have become an extension of family life. With his wife Stacey and their three children, game days have created opportunities for connection and taught lessons about teamwork and humility. His Christian faith also shapes his participation in sports, emphasizing respect and gratitude.

As seasons change, Joel continues to look ahead with enthusiasm. For him, sports will always be more than competition—they are traditions, experiences, and bonds that last.
