akita Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 On saturday afternoon I recieved a phone call. I couldnt hear the man and lost connection with him. I callled the number back and believe it or not is was Dr. Tom Osborne! I am a 40 year old 100 percent disabled vet and called his office just to say thanks for having a little enjoyment for 3 1/2 hours on Saturday afternoon. What is so neat is that he took the time to call me on a day that the big 12 championship was being played. It made my day. 1 Quote Link to comment

mel4red Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Great story ....but as I read the thread title, I thought to myself .....Self, are there any Tom Osborne stories that are NOT positive ? It will be a sad day when we can no longer look to his guidance. Quote Link to comment
