sad to hear, but that guy still owed me a free annual subscription when he bet me Mike Riley would keep his job beyond what turned out to be his last year. He was a die hard Mike Riley supporter all the way up to the end.

Wait...what?!?! Had he been sick? He'll certainly be missed. RIP, Mike.

EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw the article.

Oh Wow. Sorry to hear that. May he RIP.

RIP Mike. Thanks for being a Husker.

I remember him from the early days on RSS when he went by the moniker MickM. He was humble, professional and very knowledgeable.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Oh man... Mike, RIP. I hope you're up there having drinks with Devaney and having the best conversations!

Cheers Mike! Thank you for everything

God bless him and his family and friends. Rest in peace.

I've been on this site since Solich, and Mike was always the one who would talk me down from the cliff when things were bad for the Huskers or when I was bantering with another poster. Never met him personally, but I wish I had!

On the flip side he usually seemed pretty objective when it came to his favorite team. Got the feeling he would be someone who I would respect IRL if I knew him away from a sports message board. RIP Mike.

GO BIG RED!!!

FYI. There is a obituary in today’s OWH, unable to link. If so inclined, family is looking for help with funeral expenses.

Jesus buddy. Sweet comment.

Well he's is a shitty person so it's not surprising.
