grandpasknee Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Joe Orduna and Jeff Kinney are the first running backs I remember watching at DONU. There have been some greats....I.M. Hipp, Rozier, Benning, the Craigs, Rathman and all the other fullbacks, Lawrence Phillips, Calvin Jones, Ahman Green, PorkChop...well, enough...can't list them all. I don't remember actually getting choked up about any of them playing their last game till the final gun tonight when Ameer Abdullah ran off the field. He had that certain something I won't even try to describe. We may see "better" running backs, but we'll likely have to wait a long time to see another one so special. Thanks Ameer, best of luck in your future. Quote Link to comment
AngryHusker88 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I will ****ing miss Ameer...I love the dude Quote Link to comment
Bogate Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 He looked fantastic tonight, like his old self! What a difference a month can make in healing!! He was underrated, i still think he was the most valuable player in the college this year.. well, ok him, mariota and gordon, it's a three way tie in my book!! but still.. awesome, awesome running back!! We'll never get one quite like him again!! But if we do we're gonna win a championship next time!! Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I ran track against Joe Orduna, met Jeff Kinney, Roger Craig, Pork Chop (who has been my favorite Nebraska back). I truly regret never meeting Ameer. He has to be one of the classiest kids to ever play the game for Nebraska, hell even for college football. Thank you for being a Husker in what I feel was our worst of times. Your level headedness, your constant work effort and your absolute love for your team has been amazing to watch. You and Cory will be my favorites from now on I would guess. Not about the numbers, the runs the blocks, the catches but about the person you are, that plays football for the University of Nebraska, very little could make me prouder than to be able to say that. Thank You young man, best wishes to you in your future. Remember though you will always be one of the Husker best. Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ameer is one of the finest human beings to come through here. Ill miss his representation. He deserved better frankly. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Good luck Ameer! We'll all miss watching you play on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerenner Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ameer and Rex are two of the most outstanding individuals to come through this program.Thankyou both! Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The one thing I always loved about Ameer is how he taps the defender on the hat when they get up, always congratulating them on the tackle. It seemed like the harder he got hit the quicker he got up and the tougher he played. Musta been the baby brother boxer mentality. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ameer was exceptional in every way. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Great kid...he represented the Huskers very, very well. I will miss his love for the scarlet and cream and for the game of football. Good luck Ameer! Quote Link to comment
HotGrillonGrillAction Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 A Husker legend in every aspect of the meaning. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 It was hard to watch #8 trot off the field for the last time in a Nebraska uniform. I'll follow him closely in the NFL because the guy is pure class, simple as that. Good luck AA, we'll miss you and thanks for the memories. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Great Husker. Future Legend. Can't wait to watch Ameer in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Ameer was a special player, a great representative for the university, and will be fun to watch in the NFL. It's sad to see him go, but I can't wait to see what he does on the next level. Quote Link to comment
