Fwd: RE: [Husker] more data

[Tommy Thompson]

I attended Ansley for my Senior year '79-'80.  Before that, I lived in Omaha 
(Ralston area) and attended Elkhorn Mount Michael.  I was very fortunate to 
have two of the best coaches Nebraska HS has ever had in both Jim Kane at Mt 
Michael and Dan Moore at Ansley.  Both of these gentlemen are in the 
Nebraska HS sports Hall of Fame.  Jim Kane, sadly, passed away a couple of 
years ago.  Dan Moore came out of retirement in an attempt to restore Ansley 
to football greatness.

My mom still lives in Ansley.  My dad passed away this past year, just 
before the OSU game.  My mom has continued to fly his Husker flag on game 
days and also continues his other game day rituals.

I attended UNL from 1980-1982 before joining the Air Force.  I was friends 
with quite a few players including Roger Craig (I watched his daughter, 
Damesha, at the Child Care center) and especially John Sherlock (we played 
chess).

By the way...a couple of Ansley grads ended up starting for the 
Huskers...Ken Kaelin (actually from Westerville, but went to Ansley) and Jim 
Scott.

Man do I remember that game!  I was so angry and frustrated, that after the 
third quarter ended, I turned off the game and gave up on the Huskers (then 
down 19-0).  I went about corn harvesting in just a terrible mood, kicking 
everything in sight.  I finally turned the game back on  either just as NU 
was scoring the go-ahead TD, or just afterwards.  I decided I would never 
again give up on the Huskers even when they were gettnig blown out.  I also 
remember being very glad of that decision when years later Scott Frost 
engineered a 60 second 62 yard comeback against Missouri to keep NU the 
national title hunt in '97.  At that time, I remember reminding myself not 
to give up because of that Colorado game in the '60's.

Incidently, you mentioned being from Ansley, I was from neighboring 
Litchfield and we played each other in football and basketball each year 
(Ansley getting the better more years than not).

Attended a couple of games at Colorado in that time
with the most memorable being a Bob Churchich engineered
comeback from 19-0 to win 21-19.
