[Husker] Osborne a whisker away from Michigan State

[scott messer]

I remember hearing that Osborne was interested in the MSU job after leaving
NU because he missed coaching.  He had been elected by that time and I
remember asking myself "why would he jump out of one fish bowl into
another?"  And if he had taken the MSU job would it have been the pressure
cooker the NU job had been?   Can you imagine Coach Osborne standing on the
other side of the field that was named after him?  I would be hard to root
against him especially if he brought a smash mouth option offence with him.

I also hadn't heard the story about how we got beat by FSU in the Orange
Bowl following the 1994 season.  ;-)
