Kurt came to a game in the Dome during an off weekend after he got his start with the Rams. Why would he have done that if he had ill feelings? He also took the time to go up to the pressbox for a visit during half time.

Which was how long ago? Also, how far into his NFL career was he? My guess is not long, and that would make a big difference in terms of hindsight attitude.

I believe he had just won the Super Bowl when he was there. I remember seeing a line snaking back up the steps from people wanting his autograph.

Which means end of his first year, which bolsters my point, which is his potential negativity towards UNI would increase as he had more success, not decrease. That also means more elapsed time, which would semi-explain why he hasn't reached out to the program sense. Just speculation, but where there's smoke...

Warner was at the Central Washington game in 1999 during the Rams bye week. It was well before the Super Bowl and just after his first NFL start. Had it been after the season, and Super Bowl, UNI wouldn't have been playing and he would have been in a box.

Oh, I agree. I can't remember exactly if it was after his first Super Bowl or second but it was certainly with the first 5 years of when he started for the Rams. So, he has had plenty of time to make an effort to help UNI. I wonder what his beef has been? Maybe I will tweet him and see what his deal is. I will let you know.

Re: Getting our Paup back

Have we tried to put him in the Hall of Fame? Can anyone actually confirm this? Panther to the Bone or Purple Reign I am looking your way

Thank you Rainman.

For some reason it is something that I will never forget... A starting NFL QB sitting amongst the "common folk" at a college football game. If PR didn't point him out to the crowd over the PA we would have never known.

I guess it was a cool experience for my college self.

Re: Getting our Paup back

Does Panthers to the Bone still at least lurk around here? I miss him having him around and I barely started here before he started becoming more elusive

Re: Getting our Paup back

I love this! This news alone made my season. It's great to have guys like Paup back with the Panthers.

Re: Getting our Paup back

For the concerned: Have you guys ever considered since leaving the NFL and being a HS coach that may be Paup has grown up a little bit and knows how to work well with others? I would certainly hope not everyone's personality from their college day stays with them forever.

I was able to meet him that day, as well. Brenda looked a little less than pleased.
