     It happens all over.  It is not unique to Huskerdom.  When one's 
favorite team is being discussed it is demanded by fans of that team 
that everything said be 100% factually correct.  Not only correct but 
there can be no, expressed or implied or misread, statement/s against 
that team.  When other teams are discussed the announcers/sports writers 
do the same thing.  We just don't notice and don't care since it isn't 
one's favorite team.
