[Husker] Weather person?

[Kenneth McKillip]

It was at the 1991 OU game.  It didn't bother me nearly as much as the '78
Missouri game.  That was the coldest I've even been - except for riding a
horse rescuing baby calves in a blizzard when I was a kid.

We lost as James Wilder ran through the Huskers like a hot knife through
butter.  We had finally beaten OU that year and were planning to play Penn
St for the NC.  Wound up rematched with OU in the Orange Bowl.  What a day.

Nothing else I have ever experienced compares to the 1991 OU game - 
thirty degrees and freezing rain. Just standing up was treachorous. We 
were down 14-0 at the half, and I recall standing under the South 
stadium trying to drink a cup of coffee with shaking hands. It looked 
like a really dreary drive back to Colorado. But our lads rallied, and a 
late TD run by Calvin Jones carried the day.
