Scottsbluff to Grand Island is only about half the state.

Congratulations to Tom Osborne on his retirement, and I hope for nothing but the best for him. Like Bobby Bowden, Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Joe Paterno, and Bo Schembechler, Osborne is a legend both on and off the field.

I want to say, “Thank you,” to Dr. Tom Osborne for bringing Husker football back from the brink of something less than even mediocrity. I wish to add to what David Weaver just said. Many Saturday afternoons while hunting pheasants the “game” would come on the radio. during the game time those pheasants would be given a break from the hunting pressure while the State of Nebraska listened to the ‘play-by-play’. Many years have past and I now live in northern Minnesota. However, you can take the boy out of Husker-land, but you can’t take the Husker out of the boy. Go Big Red!

Nebraska got a bargain with Dr. Tom. Thanks for the fond memories and every thing you done for the University.

Well said Mr Deinhart! I was one of many kids that grew up in Nebraska and cherished Nebraska football through the Bob Devaney era and then Tom Osborne. Quiet, hardworking people who live a life based on high moral and ethical values – that’s why all of Nebraska feels like they can relate to Dr. Tom – he was one of us. Brings me back to my childhood when myself and a bunch of friends would play football in the churchyard and bring a portable radio so we could stop playing in between the Husker play-by-play broadcast. We would hurry and run a play then all of us would run over to the radio to listen.

Simple – not complicated, just like Dr. Tom!!!!
