Home of the best option quarterback ever: Tommie Frazier

And another great QB: Scott Frost - the 1st Husker to both rush and pass for 1000 yards in the same season, and only the 12th person in NCAA Division 1 history to do it. (or maybe only the 10th - depending on who you listen to!)

Home of the best Coach ever: Dr. Tom Osborne. 60-3 in his last 5 years with 3 National Championships. 255-49-3 overall. Always 9 wins. Never more than 3 losses. Thanks Coach for an awesome 25 years!!

This page is dedicated to a big Husker fan, my Dad. He is the greatest, and we used to listen to games when I was a kid back in Omaha, starting back in the Johnny Rodgers days.
