[Husker] What would it take to get you excited about the Huskers?

[Mike Nolan]

The general agreement that there is considerable apathy about the upcoming
Husker football season got me thinking about what it might take to get
me excited about the 2005 Huskers:

Here are a few possibilities:

1.  A game in which I care about defeating the opponent.  That excludes 
    Maine, Wake Forest, Pittsbugh, Iowa State, Texas Tech and Baylor, 
    so the first 'interesting' game may be Missouri, on October 22nd.

2.  An emerging star on the team, someone whose plays are shown on ESPN 
    repeatedly.  There appear to be few candidates for this.

3.  Four or more shutouts in a row.  That's the Huskers shutting out their
    opponents, not the other way around.  :-)

4.  An individual (or the team) breaking the all-time single-game scoring 
    record for the Huskers.

And lastly, just so you don't think I'm completely down on the Huskers, 
the following just MIGHT get me excited:

5.  Kickoff on September 3rd.
