dawhusker Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Read a story back in April about Tyrone Fahie. This guy is already a man at 26 years old, served in the military and if his intangibles are up to par, I'd expect him to climb the dept chart relatively quickly. From the original piece it indicated he was a bit rusty and short on experience but a mature man up against even great kids.....man wins. 92 Fahie, Tyrone DE 6-3 255 So. Virginia Beach, Va. (U.S. Navy) (Ocean Lakes) Quote Link to comment

billdozer15 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hopefully Tyrone will affect more than just our teams mentality. I hope he teaches these young men what being an American is all about. To me that is more valuable than our team going undefeated. The boys that play for our beloved Nebraska would not be able to if it werent for MEN like Tyrone. God Bless America! Quote Link to comment

Ohio Pete Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I imagine anyone who's served tours of duty in Iraq can at least provide the rest of the team some perspective when the going gets tough. Here's his bio on huskers.com. I think this is the story you mentioned. Quote Link to comment
HuskerExpat Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 That is sweet. I bet he goes his whole career without an offside penalty being called on him. Quote Link to comment

HUSKER FREAK Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I read that article a while back, but had to read it again. It gives me goose bumps when I read it. I would say that is the best story of dedication that I have ever heard. I hope it turns out well for him. Could you imagine the publicity he would get if he would end up being a starter? Either way he has my respect. It takes a lot to do what he has done. Quote Link to comment
