Product Description
In Lincoln, Nebraska, each entrance to Memorial Stadium welcomes fans with this message: "Through these gates pass the Greatest Fans in college football." And Nebraska football has provided generations of loyal fans with good reason to cheer, "Go Big Red!" From modest beginnings in 1890, Midwestern powerhouse Nebraska has forged a football dynasty that has earned five national titles and countless conference championships. Once called the "mankilling mastodons" by an Eastern newspaper, the Cornhuskers actually received their nickname in 1899 courtesy of Charles "Cy" Sherman, sports editor of the Nebraska State Journal at the time. Coach Walter C. "Bummy" Booth led the team to early dominance and established a winning tradition maintained by Nebraska coaching legends including Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, and Frank Solich. "Then Osborne Said to Rozier..." chronicles more than four decades of the greatest Nebraska football stories as told by coaches, players and fans--from the growth of Memorial Stadium under Bob Devaney to the tumultuous tenure of Bill Callahan. Authored by veteran football writer Steve Richardson, "Then Osborne Said to Rozier..." offers an insider's view of the most important people and moments in Cornhuskers football history. Along the way, Nebraska fans will enjoy reading about the greatest stars from the team's stories past--including Johnny Rogers, Barry Alvarez, Mike Rozier, Irving Fryar, Turner Gill, and Ahman Green--and learning why they are proud to be Cornhuskers. Even the most dedicated Nebraska fans will discover something new about their beloved Cornhuskers. Learn the story of the Gotham Bowl, how Bob Devaney revolutionized team practices, Tom Osborne's favorite trick plays, the recruitments of the Triplets, the magic of Tommie Frazier, and the legacy of tradition that packs Memorial Stadium with scarlet-clad Nebraska football fans each fall. This book is a testament to the Cornhuskers family, tradition, and history.
