[Husker] Tommie Frazier: Hall of Famer at Last

[Dave Ratchford]

Only game I ever was able to attend in person when Tommie was playing was a
Kickoff Classic against West Virginia in the Meadowlands.  We had endzone
seats and it was extremely hot and humid that day.  Nebraksa was driving
away from us and it seemed like on every other play or so, all we could see
was  #15 was flying down the field.  West Virginia called timeout on about
their own 15 for no other reason than they were gassed trying to chase down
Tommie.  When the timeout was called, it looked like all 11 players for WVU
immediately dropped to a knee with head down.  #15 in red was looking to
the sideline, bouncing up and down on his toes... having lots of fun.

Endless thanks and respect to Tommie Frazier for all the fun he gave to us
in those days.
