In my lifetime, I have had the pleasure of watching both Larry Cox and Derrick Walker.  Watched Cox while in college at UNL.  Loved him!  Attended a game in the Coliseum against OU and their star Waymon Tisdale.  Can't remember who won, or the score of the game.  Those early games are what gave me a love for Husker basketball.

Glad to have another geezer on here to join Papa and me in remembering watching Larry Cox.   But Papa's right, it wasn't Tisdale playing with him; they played at different times--Cox was a senior in '76, and Tisdale played at OU from '82-85.    I also remember seeing Waymon for the first time, his freshman year, in a big snow storm where those hardy enough got invited to move down and make a bunch of noise.  My memory is we won a very close game, but it was easy to see what a great player Waymon was going to be.    Sad that he passed at age 44.

One last chance to enjoy watching Derrick Walker this year as a college player, Friday at 3:30 PM.

He's the first Husker in this game since James Palmer in 2019

 

 

My new all-time favorite candy bar is the Reese's Take 5.  It's yummy!  Is the game televised?
