[Husker] What Do Husker Fans Want?

[Dick Karre]

Then I guess you missed the announcement of all the academic all-conference
and all-American honors the Huskers garnered this year. IIRC, the Huskers
led the Big XII in academice all-conference winners again. That's probably
all you ever heard about academics under Osborne and Solich, too. Callahan
has said he will maintain NU's academic tradition; we'll see if that pans
out. But so far so good.
