[Husker] excited about Maine (fwd)

[Jerry Meyer]

I don't know how good MTSU will be this year but when they did their annual visit to my church last Sunday, they looked awfully small compared to what I've seen over the years at Nebraska.  Guys like Fonoti were walking eclipses, Middle just doesn't have anyone like that.  Maine probably isn't much different in that area.  I would love to see a home and home series between NU and MTSU, now that the Blue Raiders are Div I-A.   (Never happen, but since I only live a couple of miles from the stadium, I can still dream....)
 
Anyway, Maine will get their surprise when they walk out on the field in front fo 75,000 red clad Nebraska fans.  Doubt they've ever seen anything quite like that in their football history.  If they don't lay down for NU, might be interesting for a half but not much more than that.

No, they're not even that good, they're not a 1-A school. But they're
also something of a fill-in, though probably not as good as Middle
Tennessee State.

I would call Wake Forest a nobody school for the last 15 years or so,
they averaged 3.4 wins a year during the 1990's.

Are they in the same class as Notre Dame, Penn State (even in a bad
year/decade), Iowa, Arizona State or Washington? I don't think so.

Who set up the USC contract, I seem to recall that one was in the works
for quite a while?

Other than USC, are there any 'name' schools on the horizon?
