Jeff KinneyI was 8 years old and at the beginning of my Husker fandom. I remember liking IM Hipp too but Jarvis sparked the imagination with the "Marvelous Jarvis" tagline that soon christened him. I remember having a baseball liner with that phrase on it that I believe I got at the Sears store near the Southroads mall. It was probably that touchdown tho of his against the sooners when he pointed back towards the defender chasing him that sealed the deal.. Of course Jarvis wasn't my last husker hero but to my formative football mind he was the first.. who was yours?
Turner Gill
The Sandman. Had a sweet poster of him on my wall. Followed by the "We Backs"
Rick Berns. I guess that dates me.
Still have that poster in my Husker room..
Yep.
