Let me try my Card Trader impression:

"He is overrated just like the Huskers"

Good for Lewis. I am sure he deserved it. It is probably quite an honor for a guy like him. Croel was a real good player at Nebraska. Whatever happened to him? I thought he was playing well for Denver then he fell of the earth

He never panned out. I was very surprised that he was taken that high.

His story was always interesting...being raised by white parents and all. Didn't he have some good years in Denver? Or did he struggle badly? Man, I really thought he was doing well. Didn't realize he washed out.

Do they have a physical building that houses the Nebraska HoF or is it just a verbal honor? Do they go onto a ring of honor there?

It's more of a verbal honor. There's no physical building, but I'm sure there's a section in the training facility of the AD's building.

It's actually a shack located in a cornfield...
