I met Garth back in 2009 when he was at Kutak Rock. We went to lunch one day and I asked him to sign my Nebraska quarterback football. He said he wasn't worthy but I knew different. Notice how small his autograph is compared to the other signatures. He is a very humble and kind person and represents Nebraska well.

He was in law school at the same time as my now ex wife. I never got a good chance to ask for his autograph.

Garth was a great guy. Super intelligent and studied the plays constantly providing feedback to players to make the 1s and 2's better. Wasn't just there to go through the motions but understood the importance of his job. I feel this is something that is mostly like lost on today's players. He's one in a million and deserves all the accolades. Super polite and respectful. Again, most likely lost on most of today's players in the NIL environment.

I have the 94 National championship football signed by Frazier, Berringer, Osborne, and Devaney only. Wanted Phillips to sign but luckily he wasn’t around.

Momma said you were like a box of chocolates pal. Square and nutty.

Is that a personal attack?
