Bob Babich presents Brian Urlacher - HOF

[Bison 4 Life]

It was also the same year that Bob Entzion got caught trying to manipulate one of Omaha's finest policemen in a city park...He might have been a little distracted.

Almost lost my job at the radio station for over-analyzing that situation and some crude bumper music. Got a McFeely column out of it too.

Same year? More like the same day we lost two QBs to ACL injuries at the UNO game.

Yes, the weekend before the Delta State game.

Entzion's wife was my sister's 2nd and 3rd grade teacher. She was a nice lady, feel bad for what she probably went through.

Just to expand and what you posted about the 2000 team. That 2000 team was really good with Lamar Gordon (arguably the best RB in school history) and Deshawn Perkins (IIRC) at RB's amongst other good players. NDSU was down to there 3rd string quarterback for the Delta State (Cleveland MS) game (D2 semifinals). NDSU went on the road in the 1st round and beat #1 Northwest Missouri State, IIRC, and then went to UNO, NDSU's only loss on the season 6-3 in Omaha, and whooped them. NDSU lost two quarterbacks (Ryan Johnson and Greg Goerder) to torn ACL's in the UNO game.

There was a lot of controversy about NDSU not getting to host the D2 semifinal game against Delta State since NDSU was 12-1 and had beaten #1 NWMSU and then UNO. Delta State was also 12-1 at the time. The field at DSU was crap and IIRC was knicknamed the kittylitter bowl or something like that.

I dont think Lamar Gordon was "arguably" the best. Not sure anyone else is even close. Satter maybe?

I feel the same way. Gordon was really, REALLY good. Crazy that he was on a D2 team. I don't really know the recruiting backstory with him. Satter obviously had incredible talent and I think just had some bad luck at a bad time in his transition to the pros. Perhaps the RB with the greatest potential was Reggie Scott. He could have been an amazing talent had his head been on straight at the time. (RIP.)

How did Crockett compare to Gordon for those of us who didn't see much of Gordon? Obviously, being a 3rd round draft pick Gordon out of a D 2 school, he was a pretty special player. Probably answers my question.

Ran faster, threw up 11 more reps on bench, jumped higher. Just from looking at combine stats looks like a better athlete. I would have been too young as well to honestly compare them.

I crack a joke to my dad whenever Gordon comes up that they had to change how they tracked stats so Crockett could "break" his records.

Gordon>Crockett, absolutely no question. Not sure we will EVER see a RB with the ability of Gordon at NDSU ever again. In my opinion(and watching the highlights the other day confirmed my memory), he had P5 talent AND size. Crockett was great, don't get me wrong, Gordon's raw ability was without match - he was a threat to house it every time he touched the ball, just an effortless runner. If he had the drive and fire that Crockett had, he would have had a long, really successful NFL career.

Crockett has more passing touchdowns than Gordon...
