Worst Husker Calender In the History of Man!

Well, any Christmas gift is a worthy gift--even a Husker calender from one's sister. Yet sometimes it's difficult to mask one's severe inner disappointment with a fake smile on one's face and a strained, "oh, thank you so much....", from one's lips.

In this case, "you shouldn't have", REALLY applies.

My beloved, well meaning sis gives me an '09 Husker FB calender for X-mas and I'm like, "Yes!", but then I'm looking at the individual Husker player photos for each month and I'm like, " :wtf were they thinking?!"

January--Josh Mueller

February--Brett Byford

March--Andy Sand

April--'Tyler' Hester(supposed to be Tyson isn't it?)

May--Bryan Wilson

June--Ben Eisenhart

July--Victory Haines

August--L'il Red :w00t (finally, someone I recognize)

September--Matt Senske

October--Thomas Rice

November--Sean Hill

December--CORTNEY GRIXBY!!!

To quote Jerry Seinfeld: "Who are these people?!" Some of these guys aren't on the team anymore for god's sake! But where are the STARS?! Where's Suh, and Helu, and Castille, and Thenarse, Niles Paul, Barry Turner, and Alex friggin' Henery, and even though they won't be here next year, how about JOEY, Nate Swift, and Marlon, and Zac Potter, and Ty Steinkuhler?!!!

At this point, I'd even settle for Anthony West!

What's also weird and a tad disturbing is that all the #'s of the opposing players in the photos are '00'! I mean, one or more players in a single shot ALL have the number '00'. What's that all about?

Ok, pull it together zE, my sister doesn't know the roster so well, she's not to blame: it's the producers of this :lame -a$$ calender who are the culprits! For the love of all that is HOLY!

I wanna go back to J.C Penney's and EXCHANGE IT, for the REAL calender, or maybe a cool cap! :cry

I know, I know true and kind Husker fan that this is difficult to read, but just take this post as a precaution to remind your loved ones that if they are going to get you Husker gear and paraphenalia for Christmas: GET THE GOOD STUFF!!!

Otherwise, a red blooded family feud could break out on this the most special of days.....and we wouldn't want that to happen. chuckleshuffle :o

I'm surprised there is not a picture of the water boy in there.lol

 
I got this as well and I must say I am extremely disappointed as well. I think Sean Hill, Byford, and Grix are the only ones I actually remember. I think it is kind of funny that the pic of Grix is from the Alamo bowl....they could not find one that was a little newer??

Oh well.....beggers can't be choosers I guess.

Yeah, it's pretty laughable whoever conceived of this calender. Like, ya wait the whole year for a December pic of Grix from '05? :rollin

And in the front they have a history of WSoftBall, Women's BB, but no WVB!

Typically you are not allowed (per NCAA rules) to use a players image in a profitable venture until said player has exhausted all eligibility. There used to be a five year rule, so that players with remaining eligibility has no chance of appearing.

 
They can't put current players on any merchandise because they are amature athletes and have to be paid for their likeness being portrayed for profit. Same reason why they can't use the real names in the NCAA Football video game.

 
Hmmm, seems Santa got me a black market calender. I guess Grix is collecting no royalties then...

Guess that's why they don't put the names on the current BR jerseys for sale, even though 12, 5, 10, and 19 are the prominent #'s these days.

Grixby is no longer playing why can't he be on the calender? Plus I can remember a couple of those players making some big plays in their respective careers, no they arent Joe Ganz and Marlon Lucky but they are still huskers... lay off them a little bit geez

 
Who knows maybe they had to pay some money to get certain players, or they used a certain photography company that only had recent pictures... either way I'm guessing something held them up from using more prominent players.

Obviously like everyone else I have certain huskers I like more than others, but a husker is a husker and I wouldn't be disappointed with this gift as much as you seem to be. I initially thought you didn't like it cause they put in Callahan or something :lol: now that would have been bad

Ok I can deal with that , but they could have found a treasure chest of great pics of former players. Why these guys????

They try to put the most recent players that they can, I would suppose. The company does calendars for about every big name football program in the country.
