My deepest condolences to Wilburn and his family and friends. He was one of my first sports heroes as a teenager growing up in Cedar Rapids. I never got to meet him In person but I listened to every game on the radio. Big ten Championship. Can you imagine and that was when a championship really meant something , they came within an eyelash of a national championship which was voted on by sportswriters. May YOU REST IN PEACE, on that heavenly grid Iron in the sky.
