More delusional Husker news

[UNIowaHawk]

How can one expect Husker fans to be rational when their sports writers are so far over the edge?

“The University of Nebraska has had a long history of producing great running backs”

“Nebraska has a long history of producing great TEs”

“The Huskers have a history of great receivers”

Nebraska Football Post-Spring Game Red Flag No. 2

The running backs are mostly short on experience. Husker Dan says finding someone in the group who can get it done against Big Ten defenses will be crucial.

Possibly true. The Roman Empire had some bad ass soldiers too. The Model T was a great car once, and AT&T has a great history of making awesome dial phones.

I must admit I couldn't tell you a single Husker TE or WR who was "great."

Scott Frost was great at running a vertical route straight to the closet.

The only WR I can think of that was even close to worth a damn in the NFL was Irving Fryar. I can't think of a single TE from Nebraska that could even hang with Scott Chandler or Brandon Myers.

Absolutely no one worth a damn that played while any of the kids in college have been alive though.

Those blacksmiths made some hellish wheels too.

Kirk should have punked Scotty at Christmas and sent him and all his staff the good old Clapper as seen on tv. Clap on. Clap off. Whoops there goes the ball and it is 6 feet over the QB's head.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Wasn't there a Nebby TE from Iowa? Jamie something? I think he might have been from Davenport? This would be from the early Fry era.

 

[hawkfeever]

Husker Corner lists these 5 guys as Nebraska's top 5 TEs all time. Anyone hear or remember any of these?????? LOL.

1. Junior Miller​

2. Matt Herian​

3. Johnny Mitchell​

4. Mike McNeill​

5. Kyler Reed​

Jamie Williams. Played with Roger Craig at Davenport Central, Nebraska, and 49ers.

Johnny Mitchell & Junior Miller are the only TEs of note from Nebraska that ring a bell for me.

That's him. Thanks wneff.

I forgot about Fryar. I was a little kid when he played for the Dolphins. I'm about to turn 40.

Jamie Williams? Played with Roger Craig at Davenport Central graduated in 1978 I believe, then both went to the Cornholers. Roger obviously had a GREAT NFL career. I think Williams also was on the 49r's.....

Kids, anyway. Their armed-robber Heisman winner Johnny Rogers was a great WR in 1972.

 

[millhawk]

Junior Miller was a horse in college but I can't remember his nfl resume.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

Could you imagine playing hide & seek with Scott Flop.

It wouldn’t be fun at all. He’d win every single time. He knows hiding places that you wouldn’t even dream of.

Mike Flagg, Alan Cross, Chris Knipper, Alan Reisner, Erik Jensen, Tony Jackson, Zeron Flemister, Jake Duzey, Henry K-C, CJ Fidorowitz, etc. and hell even Matt Whitaker say “ hold my beer”

Nebraska is a volleyball and bowling school.

But that attendance streak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can Oliver Martin be forgotten. He has had an amazing career.

Jonathan Hayes had a good Iowa career and had a really good NFL career with the Chiefs.

"Sellout," not attendance. Kinnick West is only 3/4 full on Black Fridays. The last game in Lincoln only 60,000 passed through the turnstiles.

Jamie Williams, Davenport Central Grad, came out with Roger Craig. Williams played for 12 years in the NFL. Craig was with SF for 8 during their glory years, and was in the NFL for 10 years.

Class of 78 for Williams, 79 for Roger Craig. Yeah, from 89-93 they were both on the Niners.

And vs Illinois a few years ago it was announced about 60% in attendance, but pictures showed ~40%

Nebraska’s sellout streak

If there is football this year or, in my opinion, even next year, that streak will be over. There will still (understandably) be enough people too spooked to go into large crowds. They’ve gotten by for years on corporations scooping up remaining tickets, but that will end with the number of...

I know, these fans seem to forgot the huge numbers OM put up in the Spring games

Are you sure? I played at West and graduated in 77. I could have sworn Roger was a junior when we played Central in my senior year......

Someone with more time/tech talent than I should piece the commercial of the hands clapping and then the video of the snap going over/around/under their QBs.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

I believe Roger Craig said he would have played for Iowa if HF had been coach but Craig graduated Central like a year earlier (?). What a shame, but at least we did get Hayden.

 

[BigDelHawk]

Yep, went to JB Young with him in 7th grade. Chased after his ass my senior year of H.S. Dude was hard to tackle.

Right on. My dad went to JB and then graduated Central in class of 52. I went one year to Williams and then two years to Wallace Wood Jr when it opened. Then to West. Our fullback from my soph year, Chris Juering went to Nebraska as well and played fullback for the Huskers.....
