     Those were great times.  I don't mean to keep beating a dead horse but 
in many ways it seems like yesterday.  I would have been in my early 
twenties and a Junior or Senior in college.  It is really hard to believe 
we're pushing 40 years ago.  I feel very fortunate to have lived the years I 
have to see Husker football grow from being pretty much an afterthought to 
where it is today.   I remember when you could buy a ticket at the ticket 
window on game day and maybe there might be 3,000 at the game.  Downtown 
merchants didn't gear up for game day because they couldn't tell the 
difference if a game was in town or not.  And then to see today where game 
day takes over Lincoln and the State of Nebraska with 80,000 plus at the 
game.  I am fortunate enough to have seen five NU coaches.  Those being 
Jennings, Devaney, Osborne, Solich, and Callahan.  I'll shut up now and 
thanks for allowing me to ramble.  It's just that a flood of memories come 
in when I start thinking about the total Husker experience.
