You Asked The Voices, and Sharpe, Grindle Share Their Views

Greg Sharpe grew up in Kansas, and Lane Grindle grew up in Iowa, but they're inextricably linked now to Nebraska, and today they launch their new feature - "Ask The Voices".

Three questions kept surfacing to the top this week on Facebook and Twitter, and Husker fans wanted Sharpe and Grindle to share their views on: 1) the Nebraska quarterback situation; 2) whether the Big Ten was purposeful in giving the Huskers the toughest schedule over the next two years; and 3) what Nebraska's most pervasive voices thought about Iowa and Penn State becoming the Huskers' key rivals within the new division and across the division.

Sharpe, Nebraska's football play-by-play man, and Grindle, the host on Huskers Sports Nightly radio, sat down with Huskers.com and talked about what you want to know the most.

After Thursday's video session, the two also shared some of their own personal favorites with Huskers.com.

Sharpe, for instance, was only seven years old, but still remembers Johnny Rodgers' famous punt return in Nebraska's Game of the Century against Oklahoma.

His most memorable moment of all-time, though, is Tommie Frazier's tackle-busting touchdown run the in 1996 Fiesta Bowl romp over Florida.

Grindle wrestled with that same play being his most memorable moment as a fan before switching to Matt Davison's "Miracle in Missouri" catch and then finally settling on "Tom Osborne's first national championship win over Miami because everyone could see the huge weight that was lifted off of Coach Osborne's shoulders with that win."

Since Sharpe and Grindle share the microphone for Big Red baseball, it's no surprise that Grindle's personal favorite call came when he described a ninth-inning comeback that led to a 14-inning Husker win over Lafayette.

There's no doubt what Sharpe considers his signature call. Fans are reminded every night when the Huskers Sports Network hits the replay button on Sharpe's dramatic call of Alex Henery's record 57-yard field goal that turned the tables on Colorado.

Both Sharpe and Grindle think that kick is the most pivotal play in Bo Pelini's first two years as  head coach.

"People forget that if that kick doesn't go through and Colorado holds on to win, we finish the regular season 7-5 and not 8-4 ... big difference," Sharpe said.

Grindle says without that game-changing kick against the Buffs, Nebraska would have played Oregon State in the Sun Bowl instead of Clemson in the Gator Bowl - an opponent they both believe might have been a tougher draw.

If you have something to ask Sharpe or Grindle, use Facebook and add your question to the comment string on the "Ask The Voices" post or use Twitter and send a message to @Huskers with the hashtag #AskTheVoices to submit your question =.
