[Husker] What Do Husker Fans Want?

[Kenneth McKillip]

Bob -

The things you mention are part of the Bob/Tom/Frank era.  I don't hear a 
lot about, for example, academics coming out of Lincoln these days.

The fans being courteous.  That is about the state's approach to 
life/surviving.  That is fairly unique although I've heard the same people 
who think this coaching change is great cursing our "treat the opponent 
well" traditions.

I was home this Christmas and my uncle was telling me about his family 
growing a garden when he was a kid.  People basically ate what they grew. 
He remembered his family spend a day picking seven bushels of green beans 
(it took a while to pick that many green beans according to him) and 
snapping them.  That evening his Mother gave them all away to neighbors that 
needed them.
