So Kenny Bell is an all time Husker great...NOT. Here is a list of Husker receivers who were better:
Johnny Rodgers (Kenny couldn't hold his jock strap)
Guy Ingles
Frosty Anderson
Tim Smith
Irving Fryar
Jon Bostic
Bobby Newcome
Maurice Purify
Nate Swift
Stanley Morgan
J.D. Spielman

Why wouldn’t he have dropped the first pass of the final dive that went for 30 yards? We don’t get down there wo that catch.
Yep, loved KB.
One of the most passionate, most-devoted Huskers and the GOAT Husker receiver. Also, a great dude.
People who don’t like KB, it’s 100% about what’s wrong with them.
I generally agree. He followed some bad leadership from his coach at the time and made some comments people didn't like because of it.
I wouldn’t put Bostic over Kenny. Newcombe was a great athlete but not sure (as a receiver) he was better than Jenny. Some of those guys were before my time so can’t compare e.g Ingles. Bell is (at worst) top 20 of all time…if that’s not an all time great not sure what is being debated.
In what world does the #2 all-time in yards and receptions and 4th in TDs not make an all-time great list?
My understanding is that Nebraska left the big12 because lack of stability of that conference (later proved true) and significant increase in conference payouts. Or it could be an emotional butthurt(lol) but I believe stability and money were logical drivers
One of our better tight ends of the past would tell you Kenny Cheatum was one of the best receivers who ever played for our program.
I think he should make the all time great list as he was pretty damn good at NU, but I also think people might view him similar to Tommy Armstrong. Put up a **** ton of stats as the record books were more loaded on the rushing end and it would be easy to move up, but should not be considered an all time great. It is an interesting debate.
Yeah…but Frazier gave Nebraska two Natty’s. That’s enough to be forgiven for being a dick. Maybe Kenny Bell has matured and a standup guy now, but he wasn’t part of anything memorable in Lincoln other than running his mouth. I don’t recall what it was, but he said something that irked husker fans a lot.
I've determined by your posts over the years that YOU never have a clue what you're talking about, in addition to being foul mouthed.
If you don't recall what it was, then it was nothing. Additionally, if you are judging NU players by doing anything "memorable," you'll have a lot of players to judge negatively in the recent era.
Kenny was a baller that we were lucky to have and a key part of a winning program, not part of the dumpster fire we have now. I'd take 10 Kenny Bells.
Forgiven by who. I personally don’t like dicks. He was a great fb player though. I don’t remember what Kenny did to cause these memories. Was he defending Bo or something?
No, he said something that pissed people off. I just can’t recall. He mentioned it on Twitter. I don’t have any vendetta against him personally. He played hard and had plenty of good catches. He was just vocal. But let’s be honest. He was not part of Nebraska’s greatest teams. Love him all you want. Fine. I don’t care. Decent receiver. But he wasn’t part of anything we care to remember.
I can’t say hate. However, the following player was a thorn in my side.
Keith Jackson. TE. OU Sooners.
Keith Jackson. TE. OU Sooners.
99% of NU players were not part of "Nebraska's greatest teams." Really odd way to discount former players.
Sorry little buddy. We don’t care about Iowa. Keep on obsessing about Nebraska though if it makes ya feel better.
All the Kenny Bell answers have surprised me as well, not sure what there is not to like. I always thought he played his @$$ off
I don't feel this way, but there's a few in my circle of friend who would all complain about KB. They would always make jokes during the game because during multiple games he would come out with an injury (always when we were losing), and then late in the game when we fought our way back into it, all of a sudden KB was good to go and be back out on the field.
Again, I don't feel that way. I've met Kenny several times and he was always a good time to be around. That's just my personal story of being around KB hate.
we allways seem to have one real receiver like that one that name started with a T last year, before him one that went to tcu, and the one before him, and wistercamp, every year.. but it's not like breaking passing records was real hard, seeing we mostly ran all the time. I really like the one before the tcu guy....wonder if he got to the NFL?
I watched DeAngelo Evans in high school his senior year when Wichita Collegiate (his school) played Scott City on a Saturday afternoon in Wichita. Scott City beat the living hell out of him. He had some kind of consecutive 100 yard games rushing streak going in to the game. He was given credit for a little over 100 yards rushing in that game but myself and several other people in the stands kept track of his rushing yards and he didnt't even have 80. He QUIT in the 4th quarter and didnt even take the field - he sat on the sideline with a towel over his head and pouted. The kid did not like getting hit and I know I had some concerns when he signed with Nebraska. So when the stories came out about him in the locker room - they did not surprise me.
I think Newcombe was a better WR and return man than Bell. Not saying Bell was bad at all, but Newcombe was on a different level, and I believe that if he had played in the offense that Bell played in, he would have racked up a lot of yards.
Couldn’t stand him in 2007. I’ve heard him the last year or 2 and he doesn’t seem too bad now.
