flat out lying. And Husker fans are so eager to jump on stories about how
great we travel that the story is being passed around as fact. I see the
alumni association is now claiming "The Big Eight’s hottest rivalry is back
and more than 60,000 game tickets have been sold to Nebraska fans!" in its
Husker Huddle email.

     I wasn't there. I only saw the game on TV and saw a lot of Husker red.
Still, 60,000 fans does seem a little of a stretch. I am not sure NU
traveled that well in the glory days to have 75% of the crowd.
