Awe shucks. Lol

Ha. Yes sir. That was a few years ago.

I'll be at the Journal Star. Welcome to stop by as per usual.

Thx. Lol. For the record - I was the organizer and host of many o Spring Game tailgates w this group at the Journal. I know too many of you already. GBR

Anyone know of any lots besides the Journal Star that allow for parking / Tailgating? Are the donor lots open to the public for this game? Looking for a spot with restrooms / out houses. TIA.

Got 20 as well and can't wait.

Hey dudes - I'm sorry to report that I'm going to miss it this year due to a commitment with one of my kids. Sucks - I've been doing this tailgate 10 straight years. I know many of you count on my to organize / setup in the Journal Star lot. I'm sure you will make due just fine, but wanted to give an early heads up. Later. Matt

I'll have to echo other's thoughts here - the NFL should have absolutely nothing to do with a college quarterback's career. A lot of great college players choose to never even move on to the NFL, or, decide to pursue other avenues for a variety of reasons. That should not be used as a barometer for their college career. I don't think that's the argument here. I believe OP's designation of a "true qb" references said QB's passing abilities, and their ability to read defenses while making plays. Crouch would not really be in that conversation. Phenomenal athlete and leader, but not in the same conversation with these other QB's in terms of throwing the football. Crouch wasn't even the best QB on Nebraska's team in 2001 when he won the Heisman - Bobby Newcomb was. He would make my top ten list as well. Crouch should have been the wide receiver about half the time and Newcomb taking snaps. Newcomb was faster than Crouch and much better passer. IMO I was extremely excited to see Newcomb play QB in 1998. How many teams had a starting QB that returned a punt for a TD? I thought Newcomb lost a step after his knee injury. My son wore a Newcomb jersey for several years. First of all Newcomb wasn't on the 2001 team he graduated in 2000. So your point is moot. Secondly in 1998 before Newcomb hurt his knee I would agree with you that he was the better QB, but after wards he wasn't. He was tentative, he may of lost a step, but he always looked like he had lost a little of his guts to me. In 1999 Crouch looked better in games early than Newcombe. I know Crouch was upset and went home and all that, but he looked better. Newcombe had a few highlights after moving to WR and had a couple good punt returns and such, but he never looked as electric as he did before the injury to me. I was a huge Newcombe fan back in the day. One of the biggest "what ifs" in recent NU history involves "what if Newcombe never hurt his knee in 1998?" After that, he wasn't the same player. He didn't have the same speed and quickness. That's not a knock on him, it happens to a lot of guys after injuries. Agree. Same 'what if' can be applied to TMarts toe. That Mizz injury completely altered his trajectory.

Yep - I have confirmed it with the AD office. Full bar. Get tickets to the LIV section for an extra good time...I'm told!!!

Yep, agree. Book em soon. I'm staying at the Fountainbleu. It is filling up quickly.

How'd you go about getting your tickets if you don't mind me asking? Sorry for the delay! I actually worked directly with the AD office. Talk to Logan Davis there, his number is 305-284-8276. They are MORE than helpful. Good luck!

Yeaaaaaaa.....already getting some of that from the eye in the sky forum. Glad we are rolling red and deep.

I did, but they are in the old Orange Bowl. Enjoy!
