The only reason I would ever miss being inducted into any “Hall of Fame” would be if I was dead or witnessing one of my children being born.
...but then again, Ike was never a great ambassador of our University.
Congrats to him on his Hall of Fame induction.
Guys. The Hall of Fame Induction is on Friday night, not during the game on Saturday. Ike was present.
They simply recognize them at the football game.
If you must know everything, Ike had to miss the game because he is his son's head football coach, they played on Saturday. I applaud the man for to doing what is right for his son and his family.

That is good stuff. He had a large contingent of family members at the game to represent him during the presentation.Quote:

I did find it online later on ESPN plus. Nobody ever answered if it actually played in the stadium. I'm guessing no.
I was pretty sauced, but I don't recall it playing on the video board.Quote:

I wish we wouldn't have called him. He didn't represent us in the NFL and I'm actually pretty happy about that.Quote:
