[Husker] New Husker Tradition

[Dana Williams]

Long time, first time. Feel the need to chime in, no pun intended, on this 
one. At the NU-Miami game at the Rose Bowl a few years ago, me and a buddy 
heard the band playing this so we sang "don't know the words....." We both 
graduated way back in the mid 1980's. Anyway there was a group of current 
students sitting in front of us, and as we began to sing, they all turned 
around, looked at us like we were from Mars, and asked what the heck we were 
doing. As they claimed to have never heard our version before at any Husker 
game. Guess it was at that point I realized that things have changed a whole 
lot since my days in Lincoln.
