It is with a heavy heart I share the news that Jack Phelan passed away over the weekend after a long bout with cancer. It was just under a year ago now I had the distinct honor of being able to interview him and share just a small part of his full and amazing life story with you all. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to episode 48, I encourage you to do so in the coming days.
While he was not a former member of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, my Great-Uncle Jack Phelan was kind enough to come on the show anyways and regale us with some truly great stories of his time playing basketball at both the college and professional level.
