Touchdown Tommie Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Kudos to the BIG...they did a great job representing what Brook was all about. Man, it doesn't matter how many times I hear the song, I get tears in my eyes. Also, it is crazy how much his nephew looks like him...I am sure he realized how important Brook is to Husker Nation during the Miami game. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I choked up at the end. Quote Link to comment
RotoRiot Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I was doing pretty good until the song played Quote Link to comment
Throwin'Bones Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Watching it brought back a lot of memories. Sometimes it was easy to get caught up in team and forget about the individuals. The B1G did a great job of reminding me of how much Brook meant to not only the team, but to the fans. He will always be missed. Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Used up 6 Kleenex after Turner Gill spoke at the funeral. Never saw that footage before. The song at the end got me again. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I was doing pretty good until the song playedSame. Pretty good piece. On a lighter note, as a child of the 90s who rocked a bull cut I'm embarrassed by what I looked like . Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I could not nor will I watch it. The good die young and he was one of the best. Such a sad and shocking day. I remember it like it was yesterday. I am gland that the show was done with such professionalism, Brook deserved that for sure. Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I thought it was ok. There wasn't a lot there about Berringer that wasn't already known. I had never heard about the racial divide on the team with regards to the QBs, so that was news to me. Quote Link to comment
BigRedPowerWagon Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I didnt watch it because i knew i would cry if i did. I will probably watch it sooner or latter Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 it was tough not to get choked up... Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The '96 spring game still haunts me. 50,000 people in the stands, dead quiet, many openly weeping in the stands, while a game was going on below, with 150 players who looked like they'd all been hit by a truck. The man commanded that kind of respect. I was eating dinner at the old downtown Valentino's with my dad on a Friday night before a game, and he came in with his entourage. The entire room almost in unison turned their heads and gave their undivided attention upon his entrance... and he was suitably nonplussed, if not slightly embarrassed. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, i was there, really, really odd. Very sad. That piece was really something special Quote Link to comment
NU5XChamps Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I had set it for recording. However, the game went over time, so only got to see about 20 minutes of it. DAMN!!! Anyone know if they are going to run it again or where I can get it? Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Turner Gill's speech was phenomenal Quote Link to comment
