Nexus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 With renovations to Devaney happening, does anyone think that Nebraska should create something to honor Terry Pettit once the new home for volleyball is completed? A bust? Statue? Naming a room, floor, etc. after him? Afterall, Pettit is to volleyball what Devaney is to football here at Nebraska. Thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerHacker Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Pettit floor at the Devaney Center.... kind of has a ring to it. ofc, it would be dependent on the $$$ he donates to the uni for the renovations. Hmm... how much did TO donate to get his name on Memorial Stadium field? Quote Link to comment

HSKR Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 This was another reason I was glad they decided to move the volleyball team to Devaney instead letting it fall apart and tearing it down after the arena was built, to keep the name "Devaney" as building for the University. Now that it will be the home to volleyball, that building show last for many more years with the renovations. Oh and I absolutely agree that Pettit needs to be honored in some way with the new volleyball home, Pettit Court does sound great. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That is a brilliant idea, Nexus. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Even moreso after finding out that Pettit may have helped us by helping to get our b-ball coach as well. Apparently Smiles and Pettit became friends, and he had good things to say to Smiles about UNL. I think naming the court after him would be a great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Pettit Court would be a nice way to mark the "passing of the torch" from basketball to volleyball. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I like this idea too! +1 Quote Link to comment
