There is a discussion in one of the threads about Chancellor Brewington and his name. Got me asking, which names do you think are unique player names & why :dunno
I'll throw out the obvious one and my favorite I. M. Hipp (Isiah Moses ). Hipp lived out his 'hipness' by proving it on the field.
He came to Nebraska in 1975 and by the time he left in 1979 he had gained just shy of 3000 rushing yards. His senior year was cut short by 'turf toe' of all things.
I was attending South Dakota State at that time and didn't get to truly appreciate all that he accomplished during his time at Nebraska. He ended up being one of
the great RB in a whole series of great RBs that Nebraska has had over the past 50 years.
Some of his 'hipness' accomplishments:
