[Husker] Mussburger Ticket

[Eric Erlandson]

Musburger (I think it's one 's') was heard to say "Darn!" when that
deflected pass was caught in the '97 Missouri game.  (I didn't hear it,
but I was making a lot of noise myself and didn't have the VCR set.)  
Other hate him for his "black-skinned storm troopers" crack about the '68
Olympics salute.
