kansas husker Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 very cool painting. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Really neat, but I can't think of any reason why that guy from pre-success era NU makes it on there instead of Frank Solich. Quote Link to comment

Yeah I wondered this too, but after further research, I see why he chose Stiehm, even though he was only at NU for 5 seasons. Ewald "Jumbo" Stiehm was 35-2-3 with 3 straight undefeated seasons while at NU from 1911-1915. Quote Link to comment

jsneb83 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Osborne looks a little like Andy Griffith. Quote Link to comment
huskertillIdie Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 "I took out the 2 paintings in the background of the Rat Pack photo and replaced them with faux paintings of Johnny Rodgers and Eric Crouch, NU's two Heisman Trophy winners." While I really like the painting as well.....don't we have 3 Heisman Trophy winners. Or am I being what my wife refers to as a "typical engineer"?? Quote Link to comment

You are correct, but what the artist did was mimic the original Rat Pack photo which only has 2 photos hanging in the background. Therefore he was limited to pick 2 out of the 3 Heisman winners for the artwork itself. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 But the artist seems to be implying in the paragraph that Nebraska only has two winners to choose from. Either poor research or poor semantics on their part. Quote Link to comment

Either poor research or poor semantics on their part. I'm gonna go with semantics. I can't help but think that a guy who paints a coach from 1911 would also know who Mike Rozier was. Then again, anything is possible. Quote Link to comment

Ewald "Jumbo" Stiehm was 35-2-3 with 3 straight undefeated seasons while at NU from 1911-1915. i think Steihm had something like a 90% win record while at NU. Noy sure but it was something like that. He ranks up there with devaney and osborne in terms of success. Too bad back then they were racist against teams from across the mississipi back then. we might have had rings and trophies too show for those seasons. Quote Link to comment

Just do the math with those numbers and it turns out to be 0.9125 (91%) winning percentage. Quote Link to comment
