NUance Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Kinda looks like the Nebraska guy is wearing a mini-sombrero... The mini-sombrero is a nod to Martinez. Our "Mexican" quarterback. Those mascots don't look too happy about havign their portrait taken. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Apparently some guy made these back in the 60s and someone just edited his Big 10 version to include Penn State and Nebraska. So far I've seen SEC, ACC, SWC, and Big 8. Kinda cool I guess. Quote Link to comment

jsneb83 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 The mini-sombrero is a nod to Martinez. Our "Mexican" quarterback. Hence the quotations. Alot of people think he's Mexican because of his last name. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hence the quotations. Alot of people think he's Mexican because of his last name. If my memory serves, he's mostly of Samoan heritage. No. There was an article about this last year (written by a local California newspaper who interviewed his dad). I'll summarize. His dad is caucasian, but was adopted by a Mexican family. He got married, had Taylor, and got divorced when Taylor was around 10. Then he got re-married to a Samoan woman who Taylor considers more like a real mother than his biological mom. The tattoo on his arm is in honor of her. Edit: Ok, I found it. My memory was pretty good except foxsports isn't exactly local . The article's pretty good Clicky 1 Quote Link to comment

Kinto Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Kinda looks like the Nebraska guy is wearing a mini-sombrero... Gopher looks like Darth Vader at first glance. Or maybe it's Friday and my brain is scrambled. Quote Link to comment
