Does anyone else think the universe owes the world an incredibly awesome 2017?

 

[Bugeater]

Wow, this is such sad news. I think Mike Riley and the staff should be commended again on what they did to have Milt back one last time. He looked like he was in very good spirits when the players were coming by to say hello to him. Coach Tenopir was just a classy guy through and through. What a loss for his family and Husker Nation.

Agreed. I watched that video and the respect that Riley and the team showed him. Very touching. It's sad that it's the last time we will see him address our beloved Cornhuskers. Prayers sent up.

From 1978 to 2002 Nebraska’s offense ranked in the top four nationally in rushing yards 24 out of 25 years under Milt Tenopir's guidance.

I realize that Milt had been fighting this for quite sometime. Did we know that this was imminent? Was that the reason for his visit, to say goodbye? Anyone know?
