Notre Dame stadium has an "Ara Parseghian Gate." !!!
Without looking things up, I KNOW other college stadiums are FILLED with such honors to former greats. And it costs NOTHING to do it.
To my knowledge, we STILL have NO tribute to Joe Novak in or around Huskie Stadium. Is that true?????? I mean, really? Is that true?
If it's not, I apologize. Please let me know where and what it is. But if it's true, that is an embarrassment! Makes me want to puke. Is it too much to rename "Stadium Drive" as "Joe Novak Way?"
I have suggested in the past putting up poles in a horseshoe configuration in the south end zone with each pole supporting a banner of a former huskie great. Joe Novak, Garrett Wolf, Jordan Lynch, Ryan Diem, etc. They could even have one or two permanent ones and others rotate. (Think about it -- these are low cost items.) But no... nothing.
As I write this, a thought popped into my head. What about Milwaukee sausage races type event at maybe the end of the first quarter where a Joe Novak guy races a Jordan Lynch, a Michael Turner, a Thomas Hammock? Include the Sonic mascot. Invite (dare/ challenge) local sports media member(s) to take part. That would be a riot! And it could be hyped (free) by the participating media member each week!
Could even do a mini-sausage race for kids.
So many ideas. If only there were like a fan led committee to come up with ideas that I could volunteer for and give my ideas instead of just taking pot shots from the peanut gallery. Oh wait, they did announce something.... and I did volunteer.... and... crickets. Still waiting to hear if I could be accepted into that inner circle worthy of providing feedback and ideas.
