      I guess I better back up here and take a look at what we are meaning 
by "top teams".  If by that we mean if everyone had been healthy to this 
point we would very possibly be the top team in the Big 12 North I would 
probably agree with you.  But, if we mean we would be among the Nation's top 
teams I am not so sure about that.  In my opinion that would take more than 
just getting everyone healthy.  It certainly appears we are getting better 
but I don't believe we are to that point yet even with everyone ready to go. 
Take a look at who we've beaten and who has beaten us.  Would having 
everyone healthy gained us even one more win.  I mean, it is a question that 
can't be answered.  But, it is food for thought when considering where the 
Huskers are on the National scene.


     This is a pretty important game today and generally speaking I am 
finding Huskers fans to be apathetic about it.  If the Huskers lose they 
could still win the Big 12 North but they couldn't control their own 
destiny.
