[Husker] interesting OWH article

Might take exception here ... Nearly any parent who wants their son to
compete at a 1A/Nebraska level most assuredly harbors secret -- or not so
secret -- aspirations of a potential pro career. I would think this would be
particularly true for the progeny of those who couldn't offer their son what
most of us on this could offer our children. As regards culture, I doubt if
Reuben Nakian is  mentioned much on recruiting visits.
