hskrfan4life Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 HELL YES! About time he gets some respect! Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well deserved and even more reason to be proud that we're all Husker fans. You have to be a great one to have an award named after you. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Here is the Press Release Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think it was Johnny's idea, and he's the one who named it. Edit: whoops, didn't see Nexus added the link. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 So he named it himself, so be it:) I'm sure that Greg Pruitt will be so happy about this new trophy. Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Here is what the award looks like. It features Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers eluding an Oklahoma defender during his return in The Game of the Century. Quote Link to comment
The Duke Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Here is Johnny with the new award that will be named after him. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 And here is Joe Adams of Arkansas with the return that most predict will win him the inaugural award.... Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hard to believe I was my Son's age when I first saw this play..And both of my older Brothers were dog piling on me in the living room. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Great idea for an award! I'm not real crazy about that bronze statue thing. Maybe it just b/c we're looking at it from an odd angle. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Honey Badger was the most dynamic returner last fall. Just another way the kid could change the tide of a game, except the last one. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Very cool!! I love that play with Lyle Bremser calling the play-by-play!!! Congrats to 'The Jet' for making this award possible! (It will be really special when a Husker wins it!) Quote Link to comment
