All hat. No cattle. I want believe in him but can’t get over his lack of attention to details especially with special teams and turnovers.

Ya’LL play euchre

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for your votes of trust in making me your supreme poster of the year. Due to covid, we had to hold a private ceremony in Sean’s mansion but it was very lovely. I’ve attached a photo of the event below.

@SantaBarbaraSker supplied the entertainment and danced for everyone afterward but unfortunately photography was not allowed. Then @BBTown Bomber wrestled @Husker Hank but it only lasted 12 seconds before they both fell asleep.

But seriously, thank you. I love you all and it’s awesome that I didn’t even have to split the award like @lee_carvallo_12 did.

Nate,

Not sure how this works, but there is a '18 OT prospect out of Maryville, MO that may be worth a look from our coaches (at least as a preferred walk on type). His name is Jalen Sundell. He's really flown under the radar due largely to his size I believe, but has now grown a couple inches and about 30 lbs over the last year to 6'5" about 260 and still growing. He has an offer from hometown Northwest Missouri State who wants him bad (not your run of the mill D2 team) and a couple lower D1 teams (like Central Michigan I believe).

He's an athletic kid with good feet (5.01 40) and has some great bloodlines. His mom played college hoops and his dad was a stud hoopster and also still holds the MIAA record (and had an Olympic tryout) in the high jump at 7'5". He doesn't have a Rivals profile, but his does have some Hudl film from junior year. He loves Nebraska.

Proud dad here. Sorry.

My son has just always been fast. First time my dad saw him run at age 4 on a soccer field he looked at me and said “he can run. He’s got ‘it’.”

My dad (ex Husker player) once held the World Record in the Low Hurdles (later broken by an Olympic gold medalist) and my wife was a track star who held a school record at our university. I could run.

We put him in track this year for the first time because he had been the fastest kid in his elementary school since he was in second grade and we were curious how fast. We never timed him or anything and didn’t know how that compared to other fast kids from other towns. There is ALWAYS a faster kid out there somewhere.

So after a spring season of practice, he ran at Regionals and we were super nervous. He set all time meet records in his three events. Blew them out.

Below are pics of the first race he ever ran (Regional Meet - 50m hurdles heat race) - he set a meet and state record in it. One pic is of his finish (white line - no one in the pic) and when 2nd and 3rd were crossing the finish line (two kids aren’t even in the pic still).

This weekend he ran at the State meet and won gold in all three of his events. He owns the fastest 50m and 50m hurdles times in state meet history and won the 100m (missed all time state mark by .22).

I’ve been trying to look online to see how his times look compared to other kids and can’t find much.

Coco’s 50m hurdles mark of 8.28 seconds is faster than this guys YouTube video with 1.5 million views where his “super fast 9 year old” ran 8.91 seconds 50m (not hurdles just dash) and smoked the other kids. My kid ran that same distance AND cleared hurdles and beat his time by .68 seconds. This dad is in for a rude awakening someday.

Coco’s State record 50m dash time he smashed was 7.60 for reference.

There is always a faster kid though somewhere. Someday he will run against him and get beat. But for now I’m a proud dad that’s just thankful for his God-given ability.

Thanks for reading.


PICS ARE MY KID - First Race ever. Finish and when 2nd/3rd crossed.
