Blackshirtsguru Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I used to love watching him run around in the secondary for the Huskers. Mike Minter has now retired from the NFL. His knees were getting pretty bad so I guess he figured he would walk away from the game while he still could. Good luck to your new retirement Mike, you sure earned it! Quote Link to comment
maryland husker Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Sorry to hear about this as he was 1/2 of the 'Husker tandem in the Carolina "D" that I loved to root for. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Sorry to hear about this as he was 1/2 of the 'Husker tandem in the Carolina "D" that I loved to root for. Yeah I heard his press conference. He was pretty choked up and it sounded like the chosen few who actually give a chit about the game instead of contracts and bling bling! Not to mention when the owner of the Carolina Panthers cries, you know Minter was special! I would LOVE to see him come to NU and replace Elmo as our DB's coach. Nothing against Elmo but the way Mike could mentor and prep future CB's and Safties. WOW! The skies the limit. Yes I know it's a pipe dream but it sure would be nice. Quote Link to comment

Touchdown Tommie Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 He was a lot of fun to watch with when he was at NU. I kind of last touch with him as a pro since I didn't get see too many games. At least he did not wait around and try to keep playing and tarnish his career. Good luck Mike!!! Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh82 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Minter is the man, I miss not having DB's like that on the field. Quote Link to comment

gamecocks Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I believe he is retiring as the Panthers alltime leader in tackles, interceptions, and interceptions returned for touchdowns. Or at least he was the leader in two out of those three. Quote Link to comment
