Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Katie Gudenkauf a Dubuque native, said it’s a strange feeling to be called a hero. She has said that it was “a group of people,” including another nurse, who came together to help Jake Tebbe when his heart stopped while playing soccer.

“It feels odd to be recognized as a hero, because it’s not something I necessarily think of myself as, because there would never be a situation where I would not jump in and help them,” she said. “I think that’s just part of being in the medical profession. I would always jump in and help someone no matter what.”


Gudenkauf jumped in last March on the Clarke University campus in Dubuque. She was at an indoor soccer tournament in which Tebbe was playing.

Tebbe’s heart stopped beating and he blacked out during the game. Gudenkauf, a family practice nurse now working at Grand Regional Health Center in Lancaster, Wisconsin, stepped in and asked someone to get the automatic external defibrillator that she then used to shock Tebbe’s heart twice.

“It’s crazy how it all worked out and how I will be connected to this individual that I helped forever,” Gudenkauf said.

OMG, I didn't  know this. My daughter is a physical therapy student at Clarke University. The entire enrollment at Clarke is about 900 -1,000. I will pass this onto my daughter. Gudenkauf is a Delaware County name, the county where I raised my daughter, and I grew up in Dubuque. I don't see any friends in common with Katie Gudenkauf on FB, so maybe my daughter doesn't know her. But this is really cool.

well, headed to Lincoln.

I'll be watching the egg bowl from the Applebee's on N 27th.  Stop by if you're in town!

I hope the Huskers give the Hawks a game tomorrow, like last season.

GO BIG RED!!!

Tough loss for the Huskers, ending a disappointing season after the high hopes of August.

I'm going to wish for a BIG win next season vs Iowa

You wanted it to be competitive this season, and it was.
