pigsonthewing Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 i hastenly picked ahman because he was great to watch despite his fumbles, plus he is from nebraska so im biased as i am from nebraska. but as i thought about it i realized i should have picked porkchop because he is a beast. like some previous posters pointed out, ross is the boss and he carried the team last year. what a competitor, playing through injuries and still rushing for 1000+ yards. he's very tough and i hope his senior year at Nebraska will be much more successful than last year. at least ross' running game was one of the only things i would consider successful about last season. i will definately be sporting a number 4 red jersey this fall at the home games. go huskers Quote Link to comment
indianahusker Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I had to pick Roger Doger because he was so damn tough, and still was awesome even when Rozier came in. I do love Ross, though! Quote Link to comment
indianahusker Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I loved watching Ahman Green, but when I was young, the first running back I remember was high-knees Roger Craig, so I voted for him. Where was Tom Rathman on that list? I know he was a FB, but he was a stud. Remember Rathman's long run against CU his senior year? I was lucky to see that one in person! Quote Link to comment
craigsker Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 A great run indeed...I have it on video. But Rathman was a fullback for the Huskers. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 wow, im surprised more people havent picked mike rozier. the man was one of only three huskers to win the heisman and the only one to play i back. That being said, I picked Ahman Green, but what can I say, Im a Packer fan too! Quote Link to comment

Damn, I'm a Packer, Bronco, and Husker fan, and all people do here is make fun of me...but they'll all be back. Quote Link to comment
Red November Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 How can anyone really pass up Mike Rozier, is 2,000 yards and a Heisman just cake nowadays. Quote Link to comment
indianahusker Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 How can anyone really pass up Mike Rozier, is 2,000 yards and a Heisman just cake nowadays. Remember the game against Mizzou when he had a hip pointer, Gill was out, and Rozier came in and ran all over the Tigers? One of my fav. memories! Quote Link to comment
cp222 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 How can anyone really pass up Mike Rozier, is 2,000 yards and a Heisman just cake nowadays. Yeah I voted for Rozier. There has been so many great backs at Nebraska. But Rozier was the only one to win the Heisman. He should of had a National Championship too. Quote Link to comment

Isn't there some conspiracy theory that says he threw that game?? Quote Link to comment
craigsker Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Not to take anything away from Ahman Green who was a great back for the Huskers, but I'm surprised that Mike Rozier didn't garner more votes. All the guy did was win a heisman trophy, set Husker rushing records, and play for a national title. Definitely a great back for the Huskers! For me, what's even more disturbing is that Lawrence Phillips got more votes than Mike....And all he did was tarnish the Husker program for years! Quote Link to comment
pigsonthewing Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 to be honest Rozier was way before my time. so i guess i was biased on my pick (ahman green) based on who i witnessed, not to take anything away from Rozier or anything, just a personal opinion. Quote Link to comment

I just haven't seen enough games of him in action. Quote Link to comment
