One of the greats, Tom Osborne, steps down as AD; this time for good. This season will be Osborne's last in Nebraska in an official capacity, though his status as pater familias of the Cornhusker juggernaut has been literally enshrined both inside and outside of Memorial Stadium for eternity. Osborne's formidable legacy comes down to four important moments: 1. Going for the win when he didn't have to in the 1984 Orange Bowl,2. Presiding over the most ass-kicking succession of teams in college football history in the mid-nineties, 3. Orchestrating Nebraska's monumental move to the Big Ten, and 4. Pioneering the fine art of rocking tight red pants like a boss. Because he was the boss, for 35 years, and for three more months, he still is. So don't go thinking it's about to be "Lord Of the Flies" around here.
