tmfr15 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wow....what a list of talent. I would vote, but I simply can't decide. All those guys were simply great players. Link to comment
redout22 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Demorrio Williams. Just because I am a big fan of him Link to comment
junior4949 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If you strictly look at it from a game changing performance, I think the clear answer is Farley. All on the list were great, but Farley stood above the crowd. He was sorely missed when he had DA attacks and was suspended. The entire complex of the D changed when he was in there versus Terwilliger. I think the most interesting aspect of this poll is the era in which most of these players played. When we went away from the slow and big LB to a smaller much faster LB great things happened. Unfortunately, we have kind of gone away from that back to the bigger slower LB's in the past 4 or 5 years. Link to comment

shyndy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 wow, not a single vote for ed stewart. Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I went with the Sandman. I agree about Farley's talent, but a guy who can't keep himself on Osborne's (or any other Husker coach's) team can't make my all time Husker team. Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I went with Terrell Farley. It was between him and The Sandman. In the end, for me, The Sandman lost out because he is batsh*t insane. Both were ridiculously good. Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 only 1 vote difference...VOTE FOR FARLEY! REMEMBER THE 95 SEASON Link to comment
MinnesotaHusker Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Farley was really good, but Thomas was a two time all-american and three time unanimous all Big-8. No question in my mind, it's the Sandman. Link to comment
Enhance Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Since this one is barn-burner I will close it in the morning. Happy voting. Link to comment
