n.e.husker Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Sorry for the holdup on pics. About two seconds after my last post in this thread I was called to the emergency room when my wife developed complications from a relatively simple surgical procedure she'd had last week. Just got back from the hospital, she's fine, and everything should be OK. Not sure when I'll get pics up - I have a lot of nursing to do around here. Met Brooke Delano at Walgreen's while picking up prescriptions. Chatted with her for about two minutes. I see Huskers everywhere these days. No rush man, take care of your lady. Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 28 days and 6 hours Important question: Was this years crop of cheerleaders at fan day? Well.........how do they look? Yes they were there. My cousins got plenty of pics with them and posted on their Facebook Page. I just don't know how to save those images. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 OK, one week late, but here are some of my pics from Fan Day. This is kind of a hodge-podge of pics this year. Due to the threat of rain, they made the players sit back-to-back under canopies, and it made it very difficult to get pics amongst the lines of autograph-seekers. Since I was on the outside of the lines and didn't want to disturb anyone, I had to wait for gaps in the line to get pics, and I didn't think it was right to ask some kid to move so I could get a pic. I missed several players because of this, but since I'm an old man and this is for the kids, that's just too bad. Here's a pic of the weather, to give you an idea what we were dealing with. It was ridiculously humid that day as well. Here's the one decent pic I got of Bo. Last year Bo was the only person who sat under a canopy. This year the coaches were the only people who weren't sitting under canopies. Defensive Backs Antonio Bell Some homeless man. Fonzie stylin' in his aviators. Daimion Stafford Linebackers The line around these guys was really thick, so I really only got one decent pic: Lavonte David Defensive Line Jared Crick Justin Jackson & Todd Peat, Jr. Terrance Moore Some pics of the D Line guys from before the event started: Steinkuhler & TMo - and who is the guy in the t-shirt to Stein's left? TMo Offensive Line Jake Cotton & his shaved pate Marcel Jones Jeremiah Sirles & Nick Ash Wide Receivers Kenny "The Fro" Bell Brandon Kinnie & his awesome little man, who threw the bones for another photographer. I missed that pic, though. Jamal Turner Khiry "Hollywood" Cooper 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Part Two of my pics. Apparently there is a limit to how many pics you can put in one post. Enjoy. Tight Ends Another group I had trouble getting pictures of. Kyler Reed Jake Long, Ben Cotton & Robert Berry Running Backs Ameer Abdullah Aaron Green & Braylon Heard Rex Burkhead & Yusef Wade Quarterbacks Bubba Starling Ron Kellogg, III Taylor Martinez It's funny watching Taylor work his way uncomfortably through pressers, then see him act very comfortable and open at Fan Day. This was the second straight year where Taylor's Fan Day persona stood in stark contrast to his presser persona. Once again he was all smiles, very genial, made sure I got a good pic, and did the same for a dozen or more other folks while I was at the QB table. There's no hesitation, no umm's and ahhh's, just smiles and easy-going coolness. Miscellaneous Pics The line about an hour before the gates opened. It stretched down 10th street past Richards to Behlen and the 501 Building. The Cheerleaders getting ready. The Trophy Room at the entrance to the weight complex. Some hardware we picked up in the last few decades. That's about it. There are a few more pics HERE that I didn't link in this post. I took about 130 pics, so if there's a player I don't have posted here or in that gallery, ask and I might have him, although again, there were several players that I missed simply because the lines were too crowded in front of them. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Knapplc, I don't think that's Bo in that picture. That guy is smiling, not screaming and trying to kill a referee Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 thanks knapp Quote Link to comment
wildman Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Knapplc, I don't think that's Bo in that picture. That guy is smiling, not screaming and trying to kill a referee maybe Bo used the same body double company as Taylor. Since per the pics submited shows no obviously elbow injury that Taylor has lol.

Haspula Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Is it me or does Ameer Abdullah look exactly like Waka Flocka? Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I find it a tad odd that Baba...Babbal...Babar...Booboo...Bubba...would be signing autographs at Fan Day when he hasn't fully committed to NU to play f-ball Edit: Great pics Knap! Thanks. PS...how's the wife doing? Quote Link to comment
