Pedro Guerrero Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This list was broken down to All Conference and All Americans like most of the other ones. I’m sure I missed some people because back in the day the guys were just listed as DB so I did my best to narrow them down but who knows. If you don’t see your guy select Other and type them in. This is #1 of 2 for the Safety position. Link to comment

Pedro Guerrero Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 In an old media guide Dana Stephenson is listed as a cornerback I looked on www.huskers.com in 1968 he was listed as a Safety and in 69 was listed as a CB. When I made my list I just checked out the 68 roster so that is why he was listed here instead. Thanks for the information though. Like I said some of those older guys were hard to figure out if they were a CB or S because in a lot of the things had them listed as just a DB. Link to comment

cb1954 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Minter and/or Brown "Yeah, it'd be him." - Charlie McBride on whether Mike Brown is the best player he ever coached. Link to comment
DeathCultArmaggedon Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mike Brown. My favorite all-time Husker. Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Voted Brown, but just as well could have went with Minter. Both where amazing players for NU. Hard to believe Minter was only listed as 190lbs. his senior year. He played much bigger than that! Have to admit, I probably didn't recognize any of the first 5 or so names on the list. Guess I need to do my homework. Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Really tough... Brown or Minter. T_O_B Link to comment
HuskerJosh Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Had to go with Brown, but that's certainly no slight on Minter. Or Bullocks, for that matter. Link to comment
Jonny Utah Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mike Brown. That 1999 defense was a thing of beauty, and Brown was the glue of it all. Link to comment
trouble Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Brown for sure. Minter isnt far behind though Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Since Minter's stuff was posted a figured it was only fair to post Mike Brown's. 1999 Co-Captain 1999 First-Team All-American (Football Writers, CBS Sportsline, AP) 1999 Jim Thorpe Award Candidate 1999 Bronko Nagurski Defensive Player-of-the-Year Candidate 1999 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week vs. Iowa, Texas A&M, Kansas State 1999 First-Team All-Big 12 (AP, Coaches) 1999 Guy Chamberlain Trophy Senior Award Winner Three-Time GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America Nominee (1997, 1998, 1999) Three-Time First-Team Academic All-Big 12 (1997, 1998, 1999) 1998 First-Team All-Big 12 (Austin American Statesman, Houston Chronicle) 1998 School Position (DB) Record with 102 Tackles Two-Time Second-Team All-Big 12 (Coaches, 1997, 1998) Four-Time Big 12 Commissioner's Fall Academic Honor Roll (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999) Ranks Second on the Husker Career Tackle Chart with 287 Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 It's asking a lot, but it would have been cool to see the resume and stats of all of the candidates on the All Time team. Link to comment
papersun87 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Minter is not only the best safety, but a stand-up guy as well. Link to comment
