trickey Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Here is a longish ESPN article that came out today about Ameer Abdullah...outside the box! AA talks of white supremacists, Muslims, law school, the NFL and more...without the use of batteries! http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11531690/nebraska-rb-ameer-abdullah-uncommon-talent AuroranHusker 1 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Did someone say AA? That photo needs a caption: WIDE LOAD! Quote
Huskerpapa Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Very, very good article. It provides me a glimpse of a young man destined for greatness; if not in football, it will be in some form or another. Thanks for sharing it tricky! Quote
atskooc Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, that was a great read! Quote
trickey Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Posted October 3, 2014 Tonight...(OK, let's say this morning) the ESPN crew mentioned that the best player in college football wears number 8 at the 2:42 mark of the Oregon game! However, they failed to mention the uniform is outlined in scarlet and cream...(Not black and pink, angel wings or some other goofy Gotham theme.) http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2218299-how-ameer-abdullah-went-from-forgotten-alabama-recruit-to-heisman-contender An interesting long quote from the article: Pelini, not one for extravagant sales pitches and empty promises, entered Abdullah's home and got comfortable before the position talk began. "He kicked off his shoes like he had been living there for seven years and put his feet up on my table,” Abdullah recalled. "I'm like, 'Look at this guy.' That's who Bo is, though." "He didn't promise me a thing, which was really odd," Abdullah said. "He came to my house and offered me a free education and an opportunity to potentially play on this football team. He left it at that, and that really sat with me. That's really what attracted me to Nebraska." http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fbigtennetworks.files.wordpress.com%2F2014%2F09%2Ffearameer-mov-still001.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fbtn.com%2F2014%2F09%2F27%2F377148%2F&h=720&w=1280&tbnid=9uuwa7tgqcdVJM%3A&zoom=1&docid=FOFPtQPeQQgYgM&ei=yT4uVNf0NM6OyAS37oCQCw&tbm=isch&ved=0CD8QMygsMCw4ZA&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1350&page=8&start=141&ndsp=19 Quote
