Go Big Red (Shudder)

FootballAndTeeAs much as it pains me to utter that phrase, I’m compelled to use it because of the very nice gift I received from Lynnette Sabatka and the SolidWorks User Group of Nebraska yesterday.  The football in the picture was designed. modeled, and manufactured by one of Lynnette’s students – Brent Bogenrief – who wanted me to have a little memento from my trip to Nebraska earlier this year.  It was designed in SolidWorks (of course) and machined out of acrylic on the Makino A55 milling machine he runs at TMCO in Lincoln.  The tee that it stands on was designed and manufactured by the Southeast Community College multi-access tube laser department and then powder coated the ugly red color you see (just kidding Husker fans).

So thanks Brent, Lynnette, and the rest of the good folks at SWUGONE and SCC.  I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent there, and I’m grateful for the present.  It will have a prominent place on my memorabilia shelf.

Since I didn’t get you anything, here’s a little something given in the same spirit (school spirit that is).

I think y’all remember it as “ROLL LEFT..”
