They started this just two or three years ago. Since there's already a Nebraska Football Hall of Fame, it seems a little redundant for the football guys. But it does give the stars in the other sports some recognition that doesn't often come their way.

 

[Ellis Boyd Redding]

Congrats to all. What an impressive accomplishment.

Way past over due for Brown and Glover.

Duplicate due to a merging of threads.

Carry on with your locally scheduled program.

I saw my first Husker game in 1945. In the intervening 72yrs. Bob Brown is, in my opinion, the best football player to wear a Nebraska jersey. Very intelligent and a superior athlete, he just dominated the line on both sides of the ball in the one platoon era of the early 60's. He was a mediocre player until Devaney arrived but Bob really got him going.
