[Husker] Huskers get honored

[Dave Mennenga]

I believe that Butkus was listed #1 at 50...and no argument from me
there.  There were some names on the honorable mention lists that
surprised me, some by virtue of the fact that they were missing and
others (like George Andrews) that they were included.

As far as my list of notable omissions, I put it together very quickly
based only on my memory of retired Husker jerseys and major award
winners.  I am sure that a review of the All-American and letter-winners
lists could be used to fill in the remaining blanks pretty quickly.
Maybe I'll find more time this weekend to continue this little
endeavor...

GBR,
Dave

Heh. Nice. I stopped at 20, thinking Rimington at 50 was the only
other shot and I was at work and couldn't spend another 30 minutes
going through the list. :) Who was #1 at 50? Butkus?

Nice to see George Andrews on there. He doesn't get as much credit as
the other "big names" on that list.

Did you leave off Roger Craig on purpose?
