    Ok, so who's AD do we steal?

    Dr. Tom said he's retiring as NU AD eff Jan 1st. During his reign he:

    Fired Bill
    Hired Bo
    Rebuilt the walkon program
    Quit the B12
    Joined the B1G
    Expanded the Stadium (opens next year) to about 94,000
    New Basketball facility opens next year
    Hired Erstad as BB coach
    Created a Lifeskills and Mentoring program at the Univ
    and still taught a class at NU

    But he's 75 now....40 plus years service to the univ....he deserves it.

    Time to go fishing Dr. Tom.

    He's had a great run...hope he enjoys his retirement. Maybe he can go fishing with Barry Switzer now, you know he's always wanted to hang out with Barry! :)

    Throw away the rocking chair and keep your life exciting. As active as Tom has been with the university, the minute he slows down will be bad.

    Dt Tom certainly has enjoyed a very self satisfying career at Nebraska! Hats off to him for retiring in his prime and on his terms.

    A great run by Osborne. I didn't know the stadium was expanding to 94 K, that's pretty big. Probably holds all the citizens of Nebraska?

    Agree with Tom.
    What's the B1G????
