I lost my best friend a few months ago, also to pancreatic cancer. He only lived two months after diagnosis. Of course it is a tough cancer to spot, which is why it is so tough to treat. Hopefully better scanning tools will be developed.

I always thought Lyell Bremser could never be replaced..
While he was irreplaceable, Lyell often got so excited I had no idea what was happening and there was no picture to help out. Greg was far more reserved and seldom ever made a mistake. Both guys were gems!

(From the Lyell generation I also miss Husker Bob running through the stands leading cheers when he was surely on Social Security. I realize there were others filling this role later like the drum beater. The old times of Husker football were mostly remarkable for all of the winning but these personalities were also a big part. Too bad Greg suffered with us through so many lows in the program.)

I don’t think this is a HIPAA violation or anything because he’s long gone. I met Husker Bob one time. He was in the hospital. He had an unbelievable amount of husker memorabilia in his room that was all signed. I had to see him about something minor, and he asked me if something was wrong and I said well we just lost (17-7 in the game of the century 2 to OU). He said something like cheer up it’s only a game. I thought to myself, if Hüsker Bob can say it’s only a game, then maybe I can get over this loss…
He was super nice, by the way.
