Unique Leadership:” Unique Leadership: Kentucky’s keys are in the hands of a coach unlike any other.
Kentucky’s keys are in the hands of a coach unlike any other. LEXINGTON, Ky. — This began with a threat. Not a thinly veiled threat. No. This was about as direct as it gets. Mark Pope, all 6 feet and 10 inches of him, stood tall, pushing his shoulders back. Considering his size, his shaved head, and his background — a decade spent banging around the paint as a journeyman NBA center back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, when freedom of movement was a foreign concept and survival required withstanding elbows in the chest — he should…
Playful Banter:” Lee Anne Pope also makes fun of her husband for saying “beautiful” and “special” so much.
Mark Pope’s frequent use of the words “beautiful” and “special” has become a running joke in Big Blue Nation. During Tuesday’s interview with Matt Jones, Ryan Lemond even texted Matt when Pope used the word “special” three times in a row while describing Travis Perry.

She’s like, ‘Would you stop saying beautiful?’ At one point, I was saying breathtaking. She’s like, ‘Can you please grow your lexicon so…

LEGACY SPOTLIGHT: Dave Feit’s Greatest Huskers by the Numbers: 97 – Pat Engelbert and Jeff Ogard
Dave Feit’s Greatest Huskers by the Numbers: 97 – Pat Engelbert and Jeff Ogard The lack of an obvious standout makes for some hard choices. This one is even harder because the pool of candidates isn’t as deep as other numbers – just 24 players. Aside from three guys in the 1920s, no Husker wore a number higher than 89 until 1965. That is when unlimited substitution came to college football, creating the two-platoon system (i.e., players split between offense and defense) that we know today. The candidates for the greatest 97 fell into two camps: NFL draft picks…
