[Husker] Re: The Husker Nation...

When I go to games I have to drive west on O St.  That beats breaking ice in a
dugout canoe any day.  Oh, and I have to drink wine out of a rolled up
newspaper.

I live in a grass hut in southern Tunisia and row my dugout canoe to Lincoln
every saturday to attend home games and to all away games as well. Oh, by
the way it leaks and I have to chop the ice by hand when the rivers are
frozen. It gets durned cold down here. I never miss the track meets,
shooting and bowling matches either. Last year our village was decimated by
a tsunami and I had to donate 3 kidneys to meet my donation pledge to the
expansion - fortunately they weren't mine... har.. har. - There somebody top
that one :)

I would hate to see the sellout streak end. It's the only one we got! It
means a hell of a lot more than a time out or whatever BS. It has always
represented something that alot of people don't seem to understand. If I
have to explain it... you still won't get it.

My entire self esteem is directly tied to the NUFB program and I would like
to see it improved somewhat.

Mike
