A Big Unt Mystery, Does Anybody Have The Answer ?

[calvin]

I wanted to post this a long time ago when the season started but forgot but I wanted to ask this question. Is it just me or has #17 Brian Nelson been on the team for the last 8 years, and hasnt he been listed as RS Soph. for all these years ? I could swear he was on the roster for the first New Orleans Bowl.

So here is the question, what position does he play and what's the real answer of how long he has been on the team. I was shocked to see him this year. I did see him however on special teams. I have to give it to him though, he has stuck it out this last decade even though he has no position and hasnt played much.

Shhhhh!!!

If this gets out, we may have to forfeit the 7-8 wins we've gotten in the past 3 seasons! And all the bowl/championship revenue, too!
