Nebraska Flops On The Road Against Indiana 65-81

47 years ago a in a small town in eastern Arizona named Show Low there was an explosion within the local hardware store. It shook the town to it’s core. Not just in the size of the explosion but also because the store was owed by an 87 year old man who helped build the first man made working volcano that was shown at the Missouri State fair in 1932.

His name was Richard Chicken. A self made man who was a legend in the college sports world.

Dick, as his fiends called him, had an illustrious career not only coaching baseball, and basketball, but was a innovator on the football field.
