[Husker] Mussburger Ticket

[Sean McGrath]

I've heard of the first one but I've never been able to confirm or deny
that he said it though my recollections tell me he very well may have.
I've never heard of his 'black-skinned storm troopers' crack but if he
did that's probably the most asinine statement of his life and he has
many of those types of statements.

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.
