There was a really miserable game against CU in the 90's that I went  
to...one of those big-time games where we were ranked high and CU was  
ranked high.  I believe, sometime during Trev's time there...can't  
remember the year. It was rainy and freezing.  I totally loved  
it...bad weather, a big Husker win.  My brother brought his out-of- 
state girlfriend for a taste of the NU football experience.  I never  
saw her again after that :)
