    Spring Game - can't go

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    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.

    Was Ganz Nebraska's best QB?

    You had a quarterback at NU that went on to start in a superbowl. That's a fact that puts Ferragamo at the top of the list.

    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.

    Lots of good names thrown out there. I get that this is more about passing, but Crouch will get the vote from me. Dude threw 10 guys on his back and carried them. I believe you could put him on this team. Tell him to run MR offense and we would have a 10 win season. He was tough as anyone in red and white during my time watching Nebraska football.

    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.

    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!

    I'll be there and can't wait. I am really embarrassed to admit this, but I'm 37 years old and literally just realized last night that I have NEVER been to an away game for whatever excuse which isn't good enough.

     

    I have been to countless Husker games over my life. I am either in Lincoln on gameday or hosting a party at my home, nearly every single game. My wedding was scheduled on the Sat of Thanksgiving weekend because we knew the game would be on a Friday. My wife has been to a MNC (2001).

     

    I'll be there with 27 good friends for a bachelor party staying at the Fontainebleau Resort Miami Beach. I can't decide if the early(er) game is a good thing or not, but I'm sure we'll make the best of it ;)

     

    Regardless, this ginger will have plenty of sunscreen on hand!

    Miami game.

    Are those initials? If so close, but no cigar. (A.H.)

     

    Yep! Man, that would have been nuts if it was the same person. I'll be there for the same exact reason tho!
