Friday at Fan Day

[n.e.husker]

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.

Amen to that.

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.

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

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.

Knapplc, I don't think that's Bo in that picture. That guy is smiling, not screaming and trying to kill a referee

[Street Novelist]

thanks knapp

maybe Bo used the same body double company as Taylor. Since per the pics submited shows no obviously elbow injury that Taylor has lol.

Todd Peat Jr. is one big dude for being a freshman.

Is it me or does Ameer Abdullah look exactly like Waka Flocka?

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

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?

Waka Flocka? Is that a Sesame Street character or something?

[knapplc]

PS...how's the wife doing?

 

Better. Doctor says she's healing well from the emergency surgery.
