My father played baseball with Tom Novak and he always said he had no fear of anything. He would run into the outfield fence without slowing down a step. I got to know Tom a little bit when I worked for the UNL Landscape services. He would answer the phone for Bill Shepherd. If we didn't have anything to do, we would hide the pickup under the North stadium and go listen to Tom tell stories, and he had quite a few.Let me say that I saw Tom Novak play and a lot of other really tough Huskers. None were tougher than Novak. And he was not surrouinded by much most of the time.
He was my next door neighbor at the time. His dad told me that that punch costs him a lot of money.Kellen Huston

Lance Gray, all day and every day: the original Bullet HeadTom Novak was a player I'd love to have seen play. Definitely among the toughest Huskers ever.
Wayne Meylan and Jerry Murtaugh stand out as Devaney era tough guys.
Who are some of your favorite Husker tough guys?
I'm not sure. He may have been just referring to legal fees.Interesting, so did they have a settlement outside of court?
