    Hey Andy, no but I wish. I played at a smaller school but I and everybody that grew up in Alabama in those days wished they could play at Alabama for Bear Bryant. I was only 5'10 and weighed about 170 pounds back then. Not big enough for a linebacker at a school like Alabama, not fast enough for a DB either.

    Thanks for contributing to our discussion. Good luck to Nebraska, I think you got the right man for the job this time.
