Probably not. I dropped him because I was sick of reading his totally ridiculous bulletins.
I had forgotten about that fiasco, John! It's even less tasteful in view of the current situation! And he writes like he's from Nebrask....ummmmm, never mind!
As witnessed by the wonderful story of Johnny Rodgers' 4.0 semester he racked up when I was a freshman at NU....he took the same P.E. course 3 times (and got an A in each of them!) and had a 3hr pass/fail art class! One must note here though that Bob Devaney never preached the false gospel of "student athletes". When he came to Nebraska, he promised he would build a winning football team, not produce college graduates. I always respected him for his candidness on that subject, so unlike those that followed at NU and other universities..Unfortunately in the world of big time football and basketball, "student athlete" is an oxymoron.At the risk of derailing this wonderfully positive thread, I'm reminded of something....
The "N" on the side of Nebraska's team helmets is said to stand for 'nowledge' in Nebraska...or 'knowledge' as the rest of us refer to it.

Well put Brother Terry! And that is why your darned Kornhuskers kicked my Tigers' tails for 30 years!
