Popular Post broganreynik Posted October 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2014 Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but I thought I'd share my story with you all. I'm a sports reporter/producer at a local tv station, and was at the Illinois game filming highlights. On the touchdown where Ameer dove towards the pylon, Kenny was engaged in a block in the back of the endzone. He and the Illinois defender ended up heading to the sideline, and I ended up getting blindsided. I woke up to Kenny standing over me asking if I was okay. He tried to help me up, but the medics yelled at him to not touch me. I got carted off in a stretcher and taken to the ER. Ended up with a concussion, sprained ankle, some gnarly cuts, whiplash, and one hell of a story. Kenny apologized to me later on Twitter. Kenny Bell @AFRO_THUNDER80 Follow @NTVBroganElse oh that was you?! I'm sorry my brother, I stayed with U to try n get U up man, but we hit Ya pretty hard. Hope all is well Had a friend come up with this t-shirt idea: As a huge Husker fan, I'm not sure I'm going to get more "involved" with Husker football.

Landlord Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I remember you from when I was on the sideline of the Northwestern game last year. We talked for a second or two and you seemed like an enjoyable guy. I also remember seeing something on twitter that someone on the sidelines got hurt and was carted off on a stretcher. Crazy story man - glad to hear you're alright afterwards. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Glad to see you on your feet in that t-shirt pic. That was a hell of a hit. I remember seeing those two (Kenny & his blocking victim) going off the field and seeing a tangle of people after. Crazy that was you. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Wow. That really had to be a vicious hit to crack the shatter the lens like that oh my goodness. I was in a music video a month back and accidentally punched my buddy's FS700 as hard as I possibly could straight into the lense and it did nothing. Jokes about my strength aside, you must be tough as hell. Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You need to frame that shirt with the pictures you took. That would be a cool conversation piece Quote Link to comment
