With respect to your post .The people that have actually lost sons and brothers would not agree.
I'm not sure people who didn't grow up in Lincoln realize how ingrained the football team was with youth in the community. Speaking to individual classrooms. School events at Devaney. We had a player speak to my confirmation class at church. The charity basketball games at LSE.
I only just turned 8, but I don't have any memories of his passing at all. I was probably just a bit too young to care about Husker football, world events etc.
Me too. And that was after reading your post then going back and watching the video. Learning of Brook's death was surreal.
Played basketball vs him in HS, we were different classifications in football so never played. I lived in Goodland in 96&97 and can picture the services held for him vividly in my mind. The first word always that he brought to mind was competitor.
Tragic day.
I learned when I came home from work.
He is just what you would wish your son to be.
