Happy Birthday Tom Osborne

[Jack_John_Mark]

Turned 77 today.

Thank you for hiring Tim Miles and for getting rid of the cancer in our Football program.

Most importantly, thank you for making my childhood unbelievably amazing.

One of the greatest people to ever live.

There's a lot of ominous moments in this interview, but none more relevant right now than at 6:50. 7:27 on is going to keep you up at night.

 

[Brasky]

Crazy fact: Tom Osborne's grandfather was killed by lightning.

6:50 in that 2nd clip solidified for me that Bo Pelini has no right to be the HC at the university of Nebraska.

He's an embarrassment.

I swear to god if I didn't know better I'd assume he's 95 years old. He seemed old when he retired after the 97 season but was only what, 60?

 

[huskers1217]

2017-1997 = 20

80-20 = 60

shit......yep...he was young then. LOL

2017-1997 = 20

80-20 = 60

shit......yep...he was young then. LOL

But didn't it feel like he was older than 60 when he stepped away? I figured he was almost 70 when he retired

Crazy Tom Osbourne fact. Tom Osbourne was on a train from Lincoln to North Platte when the train hit a cow. The poor Beast was still alive andthe conductor pulled out his .45 to end the terrible creatures suffering. when Tom swiftly disarmed the conductor, lifted the train that was pinning the animal between it and the tracks rescued her found out she was pregnant and then birthed the calf. He then boarded the train to NP where he would land Tom Rathman all in the same day. Fact!

Mike Riley will be 64 this year. I always thought TO was a lot older than he was when he stepped away. TO is 1 month older than my dad.
