Another Bo Induction - reduno - 06-22-2026

Hopefully they spell his name correct this time

It's not impossible that we manage to get an elite talent to UNO at some point going forward, but a guy like him playing 128 games here is surely a thing of the past. Even Troy Green wouldn't have stuck around for his full career if he'd come along just a few years later.
I am so thankful we got the FULL Bo experience. What a privilege to witness it.

Yep......I feel BLESSED that I was around during his and Ervin's playing career, among others. I'm too old to bother to even hope for anything like them again, I fear.

It's not even about being old, as much as NCAA sports has changed so that it can't happen that way again.
But, I try not to dwell too much on that and more appreciate that we ever got to experience it. There were guys who were better shooters, better passers, better whatever. But for almost a half-decade, the guy with the quickest first step on planet Earth was a UNO Privateer. That's pretty cool.

I'm glad for Bo. Great guy, humble as can be and did us proud after his UNO days.
I'm glad AllState got his name spelled correctly -- I could not believe UNO spelled his name wrong when they put up his banner in Lakefront Arena - how embarrassing.
