Longtime Voice of the Huskers Will Join Omaha Sports Hall of Fame
Lyell Bremser served as the voice of the Huskers for several decades. He was witness to the birth of NU's football greatness. His radio calls included NU's first two national title teams, the "Game of the Century" against Oklahoma and describing Osborne's clubs in the early 1980s. For multiple generations of Husker fans, this man served as the voice of Nebraska football. This April, he will be included as part of the 2012 class of the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame. It's a very deserving honor. While current Husker fans may not know Bremser's work through more than YouTube clips or phone ring tones, his voice is still the one that echoes in most fans' minds when they think of the Huskers. Man, woman and child indeed.

MAN, WOMAN & CHILD! It’s about time Lyell Bremser was recognized. Can remember listening to him on the radio with the sound muted on the TV. It was rare that the games were televised, but his call on the radio always made it an interesting game.

Lyell Bremser “hands - down ” was not only the finest Nebraska radio announcer but in my opinion the best in the country ” period. ” - His passion for Nebraska football started in the mid to late 30’s , when they were big 6 champs -Lyell’s football acumen coupled with his love and a rich tradition for Nebraska football will never be emulated - for there was only ONE Lyell Bremser - He and my father ( who played on the big 6 championsip teams of the 30’s) were good friends and I had the pleasure of meeting Lyell several times- What a class act !
Congrats to Mr. Bremser
