Ex Husker coach Frank Solich is going to be honored at the Spring game this year. The obvious elephant in the room is that he got fired after a winning season in 2003. He’s said he doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder. He went on to be a great coach for Ohio University.
Trev Alberts also said that there will be another special announcement concerning Solich. Is he coming back to the university system in some capacity? He’s 78 now. I don’t know if he’s still wanting to coach or not. I asked our sports director what it’s about. He doesn’t know. It looks like we have a couple months to make up wild speculations. Let me start. Ahem, lots of people have told me, special people who know things, that Frank is teaming up with Elon Musk to go to the moon. There’s a special Husker rocket that will blast off from the middle of Memorial Stadium. It’ll carry Frank, Elon, and Lil’ Red to the moon where they’re going to build a Runza for future astronauts. They’ll be back by the end of half time.
Does that sound about right?
Honoring a Husker legend.
