I was always a fan of crouch. Seemed like a likeable guy and obviously was a fantastic player.

I went to college outside the state during the Crouch years and I can confirm there was was hate toward him. But it seemed to be the fact that Crouch embodied everything they hated about Nebraska: bigger/stronger/faster, success w local guys + lot of wins.
I think Crouch was just easy to hate bc his Nebraska-ness went to 11.
Yrs later I think all of those fans greatly respect Crouch though. He's not like a Chase Daniel - where opposing fans will still hate him 20 yrs later.

I was in the DC area at the time, saw quite a few kids rocking crouch jerseys and saw a few fairly high level QBs choose #7 specifically because it was his number. Guy was great for the NU brand.

NGL, the Maholmes cosplay is Corny AF but I’m too old to make fun of a 19 year old kid before he hits phase 2 brain puberty like every 20-22 kid in the history of time.

People need to STFU about the whole mahomes cosplay bull shit. If he didn’t look like or had the same qb coach no one would bat an eye. Every player models a lot of their play after their ideals

Guessing but, it may have been because he quit the team and Solich or Osborne drove to Omaha to convince him and Millard North high school into coming back. Petino (sp?) never really like sending his players to NU.
Millard North coach says Crouch not leaving Huskers
In a strange final twist to the tight race for starting quarterback at Nebraska, the No. 1 guy became the No. 2 story.While Bobby Newcombe was named the starter for

When I was growing up his best friends family lived where I lived in Wyoming and crouch would always sign autographs and throw the ball around when he came around.

This makes everything even better that all of these people are on social media crying about it.
Hate is so weird. The original picture was just a half way decent joke and people attach onto it so hardcore. The picture that went viral he just has a broccoli haircut and was wearing sunglasses. Like 50% of Gen Zers look like that. I don’t think he was trying to look like Mahoney at all.
That’s not to say he doesn’t try to imitate him on the field, but the original pic was just a regular ass Gen Zer that was a witty comment.

I think most young players imitate others. Mahomes just has a very specific style so it stands out more & the whole part about the same trainer before he even had gotten to college.

The hate keeps me warm. Just wait till we start winning at least 9-10 games a season again.

I really hope he develops his own style. I don't fault him for imitating his idol but he needs to become his own person.

We must run in completely different circles of Husker fans.
